Mothers

This photo was taken 5 years ago...how sad is that? The last photo taken of my mom, sister and I and our daughters. Why is it so darn hard to get family together for photos? The bottom one is Steve, kids and his parents on Steve's last bday in January.
Both my mom and Steve's mom are dealing with some pretty heavy health issues. Steve's mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers last year. My mom..breast cancer. Happy Mother's Day to both of you...we love you!

You want to hear something funny? My sister called this morning to wish me a Happy Moms day and told me what her kids got her. She told me her daughter who is 8 has been so excited about this gift for weeks...telling Jen she can't wait for her to open it..that it's something she knows she'll love. Jen opens the card to find a gift card to Stop and Shop. Is this not the funniest thing you've ever heard? I couldn't stop laughing. Her kids think that because Jen is at the grocery store at least once a week that she must just LOVE it there. I told her to buy $150 worth of magazines and flowers....

Happy Mother's Day to all you  moms out there.  Hannah and I are off to see the movie "Babies"!
