The time together was great. Dad always talks about mom being the matriarch. She hates that, but it's true. If it wasn't for her, none of these people would be in our family!
I'm grateful for these people who call me mom/grandma, and missed those who were not here. I've been shaped by my mistakes, and successes as a mother. It's not always pretty when imperfect people are given such noble task. I learned as I went, made changes as I grew, and walked in the light that I had.
I made my chicken salad on brioche rolls, mom made pasta salad, Rachel brought a green salad, Sarah brought a fruit tray, and Kay brought the strawberries for dessert!
The weather was lovely. We sat outside, the kids played at the swings, Tim and Nate vacuumed the pool. Sarah and Dave headed to his family's house.
We finished our required school days last week. Kamryn needs to do some testing still, but I'm always amazed that we made it through another year! This was my 31st year homeschooling. This next year we'll add Kaidence and Kamryn will be doing high school! Wow!
I hope you had a good weekend.

This is a beautiful family that you have. The meal sounds so good and I know you were truly Blessed on such a sweet Mother's Day...
Sounds like the loveliest kind of weekend! I actually enjoy photos that have some "real life" included. Those are the memorable ones really!
Yay for another successful school year and yay for summer vacation! I can hardly believe that Kamryn will be in high school next year!
Love you and your beautiful family! How awesome is that that your daughters bring things for your meal gatherings!
