Mother's Day Weekend

 BLESSED MOMMA

NONNYE CAME TO VISIT!!!

Braylin had tubes put in her ears on Friday morning, so Nonnye had to come take care of her daughter and her granddaughter. She did a wonderful job!

Braylin recovered quickly, just like they said, and so we were able to squeeze in some shopping the next day. Yes, Shopping! Not Braylin's favorite thing to do. 

So I have a bag of tools (treats) to pacify her for at least an hour of good shopping...

Nothin' like some good ole PRINGLES!
everywhere. 

of course Braylin doesn't ride in her stroller! Duh!
That would be absurd! We take it so she can push.

griping at Nonnye because she wanted the stroller to
slow down. 

Her loves her "Naw-Naw"

I really love it. My mother is awesome and even more awesome that
Braylin gets to experience the exact reasons why. 

Motherly love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.  ~Marion C. Garretty, quoted in A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul

On Mother's Day, day we went to celebrate with Sug and have a little lakeside lunch.

Look at the beautiful table!

Braylin was running a little fever from her ear surgery,
so she wasn't exactly in the best mood.
BUT STILL SO CUTE

You don't really understand human nature

 unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round 

will wave at her momma every time around - 

and why her momma will always wave back.  

~William D. Tammeus

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.  ~Washington Irving
