My Mom & My Sister

Happy Birthday to my amazing, crazy, hilarious, beautiful sister!!!
&

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful, generous, fun, adorable mom!!!

The three of us celebrating Kathryn's birthday at dinner Friday night.

I am so blessed to have two best friends to share my life with and celebrate today!  It is hard to imagine what this day will be like next year... Maybe all I'll ask for is a morning to sleep in and coffee in bed.  We'll see.

But today, I will honor the mother who taught me everything I know about motherhood - love, sacrifice, and patience.  And, the sister who taught me all the things no one else ever would!  I love you both so much & am SO thankful to have you both as such a major part of my life. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without you!

Happy Mother's Day also to my wonderful mother-in-law.  This year, especially, I am thinking a lot about being the mother to a boy.  Thank you for raising my husband and making him the man he is today.  I am so grateful for all the years of sacrifice and love you poured into him.  And, mostly, I'm grateful that you have been willing to share him with me these last ten years! I realize that having a mother-in-law you love is NOT a guarantee, so I thank God all the time for one as great as you.  Thanks for being, not just my mother-in-law, but my friend.
