Mother's day thoughts.

I made these photos for Christmas and gave them as gifts to the women in my family but I was looking at them today and they inspired some Mother's day thoughts. In a nutshell, I am glad to have lots of family women in my life. They all deserve to enjoy a great Mother's day. I love you gals!

The photo above contains the left hands with wedding bands of my Grandma McArthur, Mom Janine, myself, sister Heather and my sister Erin. It was quite the chore to take the original, uncropped color photo of all our freckly, white/orange hands and turn it into the finished product but it was fun. I am so blessed to have my Grandma here with me still alive and kickin'! My sons are so blessed to know and have fun with their Great-Grandma. Our family is blessed that we are all happily married (most days - hah hah!).

This photo I just love so much. It is 4 generations of hands - my Grandma, my Mom, myself and my boys. I just love Tot's chubby little hand. I am so glad that families are forever and I love that we all live close enough to see each other a lot. This month is one party after another and it's never a dull moment for my family.

Happy Mother's day to the great women in my life including my super-sweet mother-in-law! We need to take a photo with your hand and ours next time we're together!
