Mother's Day - BC Style


...

My 8th Mother's Day began with 2 beautiful boys giving me 2 beautiful mini rosebushes that they thoughtfully chose for me.  The hand-made cards brought (proud, happy) tears to my eyes.  I will treasure them always.

A quick cup of coffee and a shower was followed by brunch at a local restaurant (where we waited for an hour before our order was brought to us... grrr), but was so nice to be away from the messes at home :)

The plan was to meet my cousins Danielle & Corinne with little Madison and Aunt Gloria, Tara, Shenna, and little Katie at Harrison beach for a noon picnic.  While I rushed to gather what we need for an afternoon at the lakeshore, Harry went to fill our Subway order.


Kenzie found a wee fish!

The day was gloriously beautiful!  Sunshine, sunshine, and more sunshine!  I am truly blessed to have such wonderful boys and a fabulous family!

The only thing missing is my amazing mom.  She's sorely missed right now as she's never far from my thoughts.  The time difference has made it difficult to connect over Mother's Day, but we'll keep trying to connect.

Wishing you all had a fantastic Mother's Day with yours!
