Jay was in Hawaii the past 5 days for his best friend’s wedding, which happened to fall right on Mother’s Day weekend, so we celebrated without him. Jay felt really bad(but not bad enough to stop him from sending me pictures of him happily devouring all the delicious food he ate!), but I always thought of Mother’s Day as a day of celebrating my mother, and I was happy Jay got to spend it with his mother since it’s been about 10 years since he celebrated it with his mom! My mother and I live within 5 miles of each other, so I was able to celebrate it with her and we had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. My parents and my girls and I went out to eat on Saturday and on Sunday I received these gifts from my girls.
With the help of daddy, they made adorable cards for me as well. So this was what they were working on the night before Jay left and they turned on the music out loud and wouldn’t let me go near the living room for an hour!

After reading the card out loud with the girls and laughing, I said to them, “Do you know what else I want for Mother’s Day? Choke hugs and kisses(choke=hawaiian for many)!!!” And Adi exclaimed excitedly, “THAT’S WHAT I LOVE!!!” as both of them piled on me to give me many hugs and kisses. I love spending my life with these girls. They make me so incredibly happy.

These notes are so cute!It's adorable how they both put "naps" as your favorite thing to do.
Oh yeah, and I'm one of those people who has been reading your blog and not commenting. Whoops!
Anyway, I love your DIY posts about sewing and it's actually inspired me to start. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and hemmed some pants and dresses (starting out slowly, but surely). My mom is a seamstress, so it's intimidating to me. Would you mind doing more DIY tutorials (especially since you're being so careful about putting up photos of the girls from now on)? I'd LOVE THEM!
Mel says
Haha I love the things they said about you – especially about the bigger boobs and how you look at boring computer! It will be so funny to look back on these with them when they're older!
Sunja says
Oh my goodness! Those cards are super cute and hilarious! You definitely have two amazing daughters. 🙂
harmony says
