Missing my Family!

Every year my family gets together to celebrate Mothers Day, it's a tradition that I hope will continue for many, many, many years to come! We celebrate the love that share and to honor our Moms, Mimi's, Nana's, Grandmothers, Nieces, Cousins, to celebrate our lives as a unit. I enjoy spending time with my family & really miss them. I haven't been able to attend since we moved to the Pacific NW in the fall of 2008. But I am hoping to make 2011!

Our family is full of remarkable women that are incredible moms. I cherish every moment and look back & giggle at all of our pictures that have been taken thru the years. It's amazing to see how much we all have changed and to see how all the little ones have grown and all of our new additions.

My mom is my bestest friend. She is my rock, her unconditional love is amazing and is she always there. Her family is everything to her. I can never express enough to her how much she means to me and what a wonderful mom she is. I hope that I am half the mom to my daughter that my mom is to me. I love you Mom!

Another remarkable lady in our family is my Aunt Nellie, she is an incredible person with such a big heart. Again her family is everything to her! I love the talks we have and her "pearls of wisdom" that she shares. I love her laugh, lets just say we have some serious fun when we are together ;-) I miss you terribly and hope to see you soon! I love you Aunt Nay!

Here are a few pics that were taken this past Mother's Day over the miles; even though we all weren't together we were in spirit!

I hate to say I didn't bring out my camera at all this weekend other than to take a pic of Laney, I have no pics to post of me and Bug :( I will have to make it up and take a bunch this weekend. I heard we were going to be in the 80's yippie!!!!
