Mother's Day

We had a full weekend, celebrating close to 30 years of motherhood for my Mum. Life is so much more grand when your mother isn't just your mother, but your friend. Seriously, this lady makes friends with anyone and everyone. Readily found that out when she was away and complete strangers would walk up and give me a hug, ask how the family is, etc. "And you are??" Gotta love Mum. 

I meant to get a picture of the kids and Mum all spiffed up, but the day got away from us.  Pardon the late night smiles :)
Honoring the Mothers in attendance. 6 total. 
 Praising the LORD for a decent turnout to services Sunday morning. During Sunday School, I was attempting to describe what boils were (10 plagues) and used the word "bubbles". One little 4 yr old exclaimed, "Oh! like the bubbles you blow with your mouth!" Not quite, Hun. Later on, we were talking about the Angel of Death and our little chatterbox piped up once more, "I know! Like when you lose a tooth and the Tooth Fairy comes and takes it away!" Help.... :D
Love Dad's expression
 We invited folks back to our place for a meal, Bible study and game. Dad's Zonk/Wham is a hit down here. The teams were quizzed over the Book of Ruth, which was the topic of the morning's message. 

Uya got the best reactions to his Zonk circle :)
11 kids, 2 son-in-laws, & 8 grandbabies (1 in Heaven) later....looking good!
He came up and with a hug said, "Chocolate & banana?" He's now my little chocolate. Love this boy 
Perfect Ending to a good day...Family reading & prayer. 
What happens when you're trying to brush your teeth and your 2 big brothers walk in the room...
