Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms and moms to be. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful mom. I could sum her up with just one word. Unselfish. She is the most unselfish person I know and is always willing to put anyone's needs before her own. She is so generous and giving of everything she has. She loves the Lord and has always taught us that he comes first in our lives. She gives me the best parenting advice and I call her before I call Will's own doctor if he is sick. I'm very lucky to have her. I'm becoming more and more like her as I get older. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing! Just joking mom. There is just something about becoming a mother that makes you appreciate your own mother in a whole new light. I love you very much. Thank you for being such a great mother to us.
My grandmother is also a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her name is Christine Walker. I was named after her and it's such an honor. I don't know if I will ever live up to her name, but I try. She has 3 girls, 10 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and two more on the way. She taught Sunday school for as long as she could and has always baked pound cakes for people when they are sick. She is the type of person who always remembers your birthday, always remembers your favorite kind of food, and is a great listener. She always made me feel so good about myself. She taught me about modesty (actually drilled it in our heads) and prayed for my husband before I even knew him. She is a dedicated wife to my Papa and I love her very much!

Hope you had a special mother's day. I'm catching up on blogs this morning and I saw your post about Will's eye. Camden just moved up to Will's Sunday school class (though Will's probably about to move up himself) and I saw Will's poor little eye last Sunday. Looked like it was healing up well. I guess lots of bumps and scrapes are just part of having a little boy, huh!
