Family is Everything!

I hope all you mothers had a wonderful day on Sunday! I feel so blessed to have the family I do. I had a great day! I didn't work for once which was so nice. Well, I suppose some people would call what I did working but overall it was relaxing for me. Sunday began with the perfect mother's day gift. The photo above shows it. My husband baked the imprint of Kaelyn's hand into a glass heart. We had similar glass hearts on the tables at our wedding reception almost 6 years ago! Then he wrote her name and date in it. It was the sweetest most meaningful gift I could have ever hoped for. Then the day went on with the usual outing to church, then out to eat with my family and relatives... such great food at our little town's cafe, and then my husband and I worked on painting Kaelyn's room. We painted white on the ceiling, the trim, windows, doors and the entire closet. Then we had to wait for it to dry so I headed to my grandma's house to visit more with my relatives that came from Sioux Falls. I'm so glad my Texas cousins moved back to South Dakota!!! I love being able to see them more often! Whenever my family gets together with my cousins and aunt, you just know your going to have a good time and do some good belly laughing! Being able to all get together at my grandma's house is priceless too. You would never know her age by how she acts. She's incredible! After a quick supper there and everyone headed home, David watched Kaelyn so I could finish painting her room! I was so excited to get color on her wall! I describe the color as a pastel lime green. It really makes the white trim pop. It gives such a freshness to the room. Now I can't wait to get carpet in there and decorate! That may take awhile but at least we're getting real close.

This was one of the pictures I framed and gave to my mom for Mother's Day. Its our four generation picture that was taken quite awhile ago. I gave one to my grandma right away and totally forgot about giving my mom one until a few weeks ago. Sorry mom. You know how crazy things get in my household! Love you!

I hope every one's week is starting better than ours. Kaelyn has been under the weather. Her temp kept spiking last night so no one in our house got much sleep. She seemed to have a little more energy this afternoon so hopefully tomorrow she'll be back to her usual self. I hate to see little one's feel so miserable and you can't fix it! Take Care!
