I never get bored of my baby girl playing at Young's. She loves it there and asks to go often. Here she is waving to her "friends" while driving the tractor. (There were no friends:)
I had to run to save the baby goat, before I showed her how to hug gently. She said in a very labored voice, "I'm just trying to hug this baby goat." She loves animals and wants to hold, pet, or hug any that she comes upon.
My sister Heather had a wonderful Mother's Day lunch for all of us at her house. It was a beautiful day and we got some pictures. This is a great picture of the wonderful mother and grandmothers I have. Also, of the legacy they are raising.
Being a mom is a great blessing in my life. I am reminded that I have been given a miracle in Elli and want her to know and love the Lord with all her heart. I am praying for wisdom and guidance in order to teach Elli the right ways and to watch her grow in the Lord. Thank you God for the gift of Elli. Thank you for her joy, smile, and her sweet hugs and kisses. One story to share from my precious gift. We were walking on the beach, just the two of us holding hands when she says, "Mommy, I do not want to go in the water by myself. I will get lost and lost and then I will get died. Then I will be in heaven with Jesus and he will need to make a new Elli for you and daddy because you will be sad." I told Elli God can't make a new Elli because she is the only one. I was amazed that she understood she would be in heaven and we would miss her. I really do love this girl.
This was Elli at 5:15 in the morning the day we left Florida to go home. She said, "Mommy I am still sleeping. It is not time to wake up." Look how small she is on this huge king sized bed. How did she get so turned around? Look at her little babies sleeping next to her. She is so like me in that area. Also, no pillow. Much like me as well:) (Just to clarify, I do not still sleep with baby dolls. Elli does things like me though and I didn't even teach her how. Strange. How do those kinds of things get passed on?)

It would be okay if you slept with your baby dolls, as long as Brent isn't displaced. A blankie would be okay, too! You're too old for a thumb or pacifier though!
I love pictures of generations together. So often we forget to get them. Some of my favorite pictures of Stephen are with great-grandparents and grandparents. Not always great pictures, but to see the joy and wisdom!
Wow... that is a great picture with all the girls in the family together! Such precious memories! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, Lori!! You are a great Mommy and a wonderful exapmle to others!!
