I might have cried a bit when Drew handed me this Sunday morning. I wasn’t feeling good and I slept until 9:00. Something totally unheard of with me. I’m usually the first one out off bed. I came out to the living room, sat down and Drew handed me this. He couldn’t wait any longer! The portrait cracked me up. I’ve never worn a side pony in my life. I haven’t worn earrings since he was very little because he wouldn’t leave them alone and I was afraid he was going to rip my ear. I don’t have black hair. But, he did an awesome job. I didn’t know he could draw so well and he was so excited to tell me he drew my red shirt with the flowers on it! And then I turned it over.
He can be such a sweet kid. I do tell him to go outside when he’s being loud. And I do tell him he has to drive slow when he’s driving the mule. Although his dad is a very good driver and I never tell him to slow down! I love that Drew thinks he protects me! And yes, we made an agreement. If he doesn’t have any meltdowns getting ready for school in the mornings, he can get another fish. One fish, not two. But he really wants two – and he didn’t want me to forget that! He put so much thought into this and it made me cry! I love you Drew Henry!
Mother’s Day saw all of us wore out and not wanting to do anything much! Joe took Drew and I out for breakfast. Eric and Aaron had to work all day. The rest of us decided to meet at Belva Deer early evening for a picnic. Leftovers from the graduation party worked out great – no work required! Joe, Drew and I went early to go for a bike ride before everyone else came out. Later Dad, Mom, Jeremy, Abby and Braxton came and we had a nice visit. The boys played at the playground, we went for a walk/bike ride and called it a day. It was a nice quiet get together. Perfect for Mother’s Day! We are so blessed to have Belva Deer so close!
Hopefully next time we visit Belva Deer we’ll have the camper with us!
