Mum & Mom

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!

It's official, I am so blessed to have the best of both worlds: A mum and a mom...who both love Dr. Mario, as evidenced below.It can prove difficult to find cards for "Mum" here in the US, so year after year, she is forced to deal with a several-week-late greeting card with "Moum" scrawled on the front. And although I'm proud to say that my card finally arrived early this year, I am more proud of my Mum. A feisty young woman who has sacrificed a lot in the interest of her family, she's already successfully (that's relative) raised me and has three more Haws living at home under her loving care and guidance. She's an amazing lady and if you don't already, you should get to know her. Love you, Mum! And I can finally say thank you for making me take piano lessons! You really DO know best. (Maybe I shouldn't have that documented publicly!)Almost two years ago, I also inherited a Mom, and my cup runneth over. Brenda has welcomed me into her family with open arms, and despite my not providing her with a 13th grandchild just yet, treats me wonderfully. She jokes that if Brandon & I split, she's keeping me! (I did marry for the in-laws after all.) Seriously, her generosity and thoughtfulness astound me. Love you, Mom! Here she is in action with some of the grandkids. I think our children are going to have the greatest pair of Grandmas!

P.S. We just moved to Las Vegas this week and are back in Provo tying up some loose ends. As soon as our own computer is up and running, we'll post pictures of our new apartment...and THE CRUISE! Oh, the anticipation!
