Moms and Being a Mom

Aren't Moms great? Tonight my mom just happened to call while I was mulling over a difficult choice. (Coincidence?) I'm always so grateful for her input. It's always so nice to have the perspective of someone who's done this before and can see the situation a little differently than I can. She gave me some great advice, as always, and tonight I'm very grateful for her (as always!). Thanks, Mom.

I'm also grateful to be the mom of three great kids. Today I had parent-teacher conferences for the two youngers. I love parent-teacher conferences. Last year Adam's teacher sent a note home saying she didn't think I needed a conference because he was doing just fine. I wrote her back and said, "ARE YOU KIDDING??? Conferences are like a mom's payday - where we finally get to see our reward for countless hours of watching over the homework table!" So, she let me come in and have my happy mom moment. Today was no different. Two very happy mom moments for two really delightful kids. Thanks you guys!

Mom's are great. Last night YOUR mom was great in my eyes. She came to our ward Primary Talent Show. No kids of her own in the show, but to show support for us and our primary kids. I really appreciated that she was there being an enthusiastic audience member. She really is wonderful!
