My Mother's Day

Eric and the kids were so sweet yesterday. I came downstairs (after sleeping in) to find a decorated kitchen, a breakfast of eggs and toast, flowers, cards, a homemade banner (Eric had put the kids pics in the same box where there was the first letter of their name. For example, "Happy" has an "A" in it so he put a picture of Andi with the "A." Very clever...), potted flowers from Home Depot where each of my kids decorated their own pot for me, Poopie's blocks spelling out "Mom", and my family already ready for church. Naturally, it wouldn't be a Hill holiday without something going wrong... :) On our way to church, our van started jerking funny and we ended up at a CVS parking lot. Eric did the manly thing and looked under the hood and then we drove home extra slow. The tow truck took our van to the Kia dealership. I get it back tomorrow. I had to laugh because I expected a holiday "set-back" which would be much worse so I was happy for the little van problem. Oh yeah, and my camera broke so I ended up taking most of the Mother's Day pics with my cell phone. :) Still, not a problem we could not handle. It was a wonderful Mother's Day. I could not help but be extra grateful that adoption made it possible for me to be a Mommy.



Later in the day, Poopie decided to show me his best "Joe Cool" impression...
I hope everyone else had a great Mother's Day!

OH my gosh! Does your hubby give lessons! I have nothing to complain about but that was SO way above and beyond, how sweet! I love the pics, even if they're cell pics, LOL! Even though I'm a photographer, I want a camera phone for when there's a moment I don't have my pro grade camera with me.

Looks like a great day, Lisa! Hope the van was OK. You have a great attitude.

Uhmmm, I just mapquested how far you are from me....4 hours! That's it! Richard and I have been wanting to take a little family vacation somewhere. We might just end up on your doorstep one of these days.

Debbie said...

Oh yeah, and I forgot to tell you. Richard has some good buddies in the OB department here so I told him to let them know about you guys wanting to adopt again. They're keeping an eye out for you.

Happy Mother's Day!! Man, I'm going over to YOUR house next year for Mother's Day. These pictures made me want eggs and toast REAL bad. :D Glad to see you're doing so well.

I love it! Sounds like you had so much fun even with car troubles. What a sweet idea with the balloons and everything.
