I simply adore my mom and aspire to be half the mother she is. She is the definition and the epitome of a great mother. Plus, I'm blessed with the sweetest mother-in-law! When Jake was a baby, he said "mama" for the first time on Mother's Day, and Ava was placed in my arms on Mother's Day. I hold this day near and dear to my heart. Happy Mother's Day to all of you, and for those who are waiting, hold on, your day is coming. I pray that prayer for you.

Ode to Ava
(written with love, by your lucky mother)Your are my beautiful daughter
born in a country afar
The selfless act of another
life with you, my shining star
Conceived in the core of my heart
my sweet blessing from above
Cherished moments and memories
joyous laughter, dreams, and love
Two years we've been together
it's been a beautiful start
You're such a joy-giver and
bring fullness to my heart
I love you Ava Mei-li
you're precious as can be
We love you to the moon and back
your forever family
Love,
Mommy
One of my favorite Ava-isms is when she's trying to ask us if we're
happy for her or proud of her she'll say "Are you happy of me?"
happy for her or proud of her she'll say "Are you happy of me?"
Yes my sweet Ava, "We're very happy of you!!"
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
