These are from Mother's Day 11 years ago. It must have been really bright and sunny out, hard for the kids to keep their eyes open.

I got teary finding these old Mother's Day photos. This is what it is like, in the trenches!
I think of my daughters and wonder what they think it is like being a mom.
Being the oldest in a big family gives you lots of chances to feel the frustrations of being a mom without the benefits of having a husband to help and the joy of seeing your children grow, learn, and love you back!
I want my daughters to look forward to motherhood. Not to feel rushed, but positive about the potential, possibilities, and the promises.

Wonderful changes and growth.
I am amazed at how you can see each of our very different and unique personalities in these pictures. The squinting and the smiles/grimaces. I am so grateful to be your daughter and for all the opportunities I've had to learn from you, your talents, and your amazing example. You have amazing children who love you very much.
It is amazing how quickly children grow up!
It's weird for me to look at that picture and imagine that half a generation has passed. Emma is an adult now. Roxie Jane is the age now that Emma was in that photo. The years just flow away...
