the reason...

The fact that I have the last three mother's days documented here in blogland feels like part of the reason God made blogging!

I love a good memory...

especially a visual one...

so as not to break tradition, I must declare yet another sweet mother's day has been had..... this year was suuuper nice.....


Just about every Sunday, you'll find the Alford's at Nagoya's... this Sunday was no different. I absolutely love when we get to join them.

Good food and really good times with this sweet family-in-love. (They're such good sports with me always taking their pictures too... glad for that!!:)


Stephanie was 31 weeks this Monday.

Seriously can't wait to meet Baby Cade!

So very thrilled for them (last year was rough)!! 


This is a seriously blessed family.

Gary is basically a third brother to Shannon & Jeremy.

Rare jewels -these two. Right here in the flesh.


Sooooo glad she loves me. This sweet lady has been a blessing of a mom like I've never known. Her heart is a deep well that never runs dry (as in a 'living water' kind of well like John 7:38 talks about).....


So after church & lunch we came home for a quick nap before dinner with the Granchellis..... always a good time with this bunch..... Kayla was our waitress for the evening..... (and it was awesome!:)



As far as I can tell, Mom felt good and spoiled with cards, presents, burgers from the grill, and Kayla's homemade fruit salad (sliced fruit, plus our choice of whip cream &/or carmel drizzle... nicely done, Sister!!!!)


We topped off the night with a bike ride around the neighborhood... Seriously good times.... Hope yours was good and that you felt loved. Lots of hurt and hard stuff happening every day. I know at least two neighbors that lost their moms this year.

Thankful to get to seize these moments and spoil ours a little....


Much love, bloggers...

1% changes tomorrow..... :)
