My Mother's Day actually started on Saturday evening when my family took me out to Cracker Barrel for dinner. I love the Chicken and Dumplins there they remind me of grandmas. Then Sunday morning stated with Shoshannah coming in aroun 6:30 and wishing me Happy Mother's Day, then came Danielle and Arielle. Craig was so excited to give me my Mother's Day present, ipod touch. I am sure one day I will learn how to use it. Right now I do have 3 sermons on there to listen to. I look forward to downloading more podcasts of my favorite Pastors.
Then off to church we went. We came home had a quick lunch then off to discover a new park for us. We went to First Landing state park, walked part of one of the trails. It is very nice but dangerous due to bike riders who just fly down the paths. Then we went over to the other side of the park and discovered the Bay. It was beautiful and the water was only a little chilly. We walked for a while and some of the family played Frisbee, while others enjoyed the water. I just loved being with my family. I love to watch and listen to them. I feel so blessed to be their Mom. I thank my Lord for the calling me to this wonderful life. Some of my greatest joys come from being Mom. It would have been the perfect Mother's Day if only my other 2 children-Craig Ellis and Gina had been here in share in this day.So I guess the phone call was the next best thing. Oh yes Andrew bought me a few of my favorite things, A bottle of Pepsi, Snickers bar and a box of Turtle Chocolates!
I have already reserved an entire weekend next year for my Mother's Day. My children are growing up so fast and are traveling in so many different paths that I just want a weekend with my family.

Nice blog.. :D
What a great day! I love the beach! Very pretty (and the ship geek in me loved the shot of Craig with the cruiser behind him). Juleen has a touch. They are really nice once you get to the user interface. I have a little shuffle and have been able to put lectures and sermons on there. Ditto my PDA. Its a nice way to drive when I get tired of the radio. :-)

Sounds like a really nice, relaxing and fun day with your family. : ) Nice pictures too! Josh has an iTouch and LOVES it! It was a bit overwhelming to me when I first played with it but I'm sure you will get the hang of it. ENJOY!
looks like the weather cooperated for a "nearly" perfect Mother's Day!
