Birthday Wishes

Today is my Mom's birthday. 

here she is at 20, on her wedding day

I am thankful that she is only four hours away by car, not 18 by plane. 

just visiting in June 2009

So thankful that  I can pick up the phone and call her whenever I want. 

at Montecasino in December 2010

Thankful that she is a good listener and adviser. 

during Jim's 2011 trip

For always being there when I need her the most.

Ava's birth - 27th of January, 2011

Thankful for the love she gives all of her kids and my dad. 

April 2007

Thankful that her love has given me a strong foundation for my own marriage and as a parent.

Thanks Mom, for being you. 

Happy Birthday!
