Mother's Day!

Mother's Day in Marion was simply delightful. We had a fun-filled weekend and the weather was gorgeous. A few pictures that I wanted to use got deleted. Hopefully, that won't happen when I use my new camera the girls and Thomas got me for Mother's Day. Yay me!! Friday night was a little somber as we walked for a little while at the Relay for Life. My sweet Daddy's name on those luminaries is and forever will be hard to swallow.

Saturday, I went running in perfect morning coolness. Loved it. Got home and then took the kids to the Y to rock climb and to swim. I swam laps too, so I had a really good cardio day. It's a good thing, because we took Mom to a Japanese steakhouse in Asheville for dinner. I do not pare down on eating when we go there, so the double workout was justified!!

Me and Mom.......

Greg and Amy.....

Seth, Brooke, Brittany, Cammie, and Madi (Madi-Kat to us). The grandkids plus our extra. After eating, we headed back down the mountain and went to our favorite coffee house in Marion, The Crooked Door. We all love the drinks there. At any rate, it gave them enough energy to decorate a table for me and Mom, complete with flowers, stacked doughnuts on a cake stand (covered, of course), balloons, and homemade cards. It was such a sweet surprise for us when we woke up the next morning. Our babies are very thoughtful!! We had a great Mother's Day. Thanks, everybody! Love ya!
