MOTHER'S DAY FAIRIES
Speaking of Kenidi, this was her homemade gift (shown in the picture above) to me that they made in school last week. It's on the counter in the kitchen now. LOVE IT!
This gorgeous heart pin above is what my handsome son made me in art class this week. I ssooooo love the craftiness of this. It reminds me of a cross necklace I already house in my jewelry box that has buttons glued to it just like this heart does. He's definitely my son. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
But I'd have to say the one of my most treasured gifts that the Mother's Day Fairy brought to me was this sentimental book that Brennen made me. I've read it over and over about 100 times now today already. The photo above shows a page within the book that reads....
~Magnificent
~Outstanding with me
~Terrific at doing things
~Helpful with my homework
~Everybody loves her
~Really nice
All of those letters in each of those first few words read like this:
= M.O.T.H.E.R
The next page in the book (shown above) is a family poem according to Brennen and it reads like this:
Angie,
Caring, moving, helpful,
loving to me,
pink clothes, and chocolate
loving,
kids,
love to are family,
a famous clothes model,
Seaman.
***I must say that I love the fact that he thinks I'm a "FAMOUS" clothes model. Ha ha! I wish! I think he meant to write "Famous" clothes designer. Either way, I sssooooo love that I am in "famous" in his eyes. Wink! ;) I also love that when he thinks of me he thinks of "pink clothes and chocolate." HA! That's me alright. That is definitely his Mom. Pink clothes and chocolate.
This page above reads:
Dear Mother,
Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thanks for being there for me all of the time. Thank you for all of the things you give to me. You are the best Mom ever. And Happy Mother's Day.
Your son, Brennen
***Needless to say, I should buy stock in Kleenex's after the week I've had and after I was finished crying following Brennen's book that he made and read to me out loud. That one thing in itself that he made me, confirmed my whole week and confirmed why I do what I do for my kids. His words confirm why any Mother does what she does for her kids. It is just who we are. Again, we are prepared for the fight of our lives. This Mother's Day just reinforced that fight. Lastly, the Mother's Day Fairy must have been listening-or reading rather-my blog when I hinted a few weeks back that I'd love to own a Nikon 70-300mm Zoom Telephoto lens. When Brent pulled this out of the camera bag and handed it to me....my heart skipped a beat. Razzi (my camera) and I, were beyond ecstatic. I can't wait to break this bad girl out and attach her to the front of my camera just to see what she is made of. The Mother's Day fairies spoiled me. Before I signed off, just wanted to also post a picture of Brennen and his artistic masterpiece that I found he had drawn on the driveway last week. I love this shot - I love the shadows that as a photographer, are normally a No-No. I love the grainy look of the picture itself which is also a No-No in the photography world. Mainly, I love the arm and leg of my adorable son as he is walking over top of his creation. It was a fluke thing and a total accident. He walked in front of my camera as I took the shot. When I went back through all of the pictures, I found that I like him in the picture with the drawing better than I what I did with the chalk writing just by itself. This photo reflects childhood, the importance of unconditional and genuine love, blessings of a healthy body-healthy legs, arms, etc. within a poignant picture - something most of us take for granted on a daily basis. It represents warmth, springtime, summer nights in the neighborhood, and lastly....it represents
"parenting and its finest moments."
Stay tuned - stay close by - thre are more of these fine moments as a parent and as child as well to come tomorrow. Happy Mother's Day to each and every one of you out there. Keep doing what you do best and keep relishing in all that God chose you for.
