Mother’s Day Weekend
“There aren’t enough days in the weekend.”
- Rod Schmidt
We celebrated Mom’s Birthday this weekend as well as Mother’s Day, so that Jamie and Angela could be with us for both. They traveled up from The Cities on Friday night and we had such a nice weekend with them (although, it always goes by so quickly). On Saturday we all helped mom with a few projects for her birthday present… 7 pairs of hands can get a lot done in a few hours! Then we went out for dinner at our favorite Mexican Restaurant. We played Dictionary late into the evening… I forgot how much I like that game!
On Sunday we all went to Jodie’s house for a Mother’s Day/Birthday celebration. Jodie grilled his famous Lemon Chicken, mom made potato salad and baked beans, Jamie and Angela prepared the salad, and I brought the cake. Team work! It was a delicious meal, and we sat out on Jodie’s deck and enjoyed the warm sunshine.
Jamie and Angela (sorry guys, the sun was bright looking up at the camera!)
Wedding bells are coming quickly for these two… August 8th will be here before we know it! Seeing the love between these two is such a joy! The Lord is so good.
After our yummy lunch, we moved inside to play some wii before everyone had to head for home. It was a lovely weekend. Happy Mother’s Day and Belated B-day, Mom!
Melissa, What a beautiful post from a beautiful & refreshing weekend. It was a gift and joy to spend this time together in the North Woods! So refreshing to be in the fresh air and beauty of the wilderness. I left feeling inspired with the joys of marriage, motherhood and homemaking. As well as the urgency of the days we are living in as we shared about the last days! What a gift to see a bald eagle on an early morning walk. And a reminder that as we wait on Him, He will renew our strength. Your creativity inspires me so much! Love and blessings to you today!
Looks like a your Mom had a very Happy Mother’s Day!!!
Man that food was GOOD. I think Jodie is our official family griller. Dictionary was fun too – even though Jodie got lucky on that last word and squeaked out a tie with me. I think it’s safe to say we all know who the true champion is – and his name doesn’t rhyme with toady.
that cake is gorgeous!! great job you.
sounds like a fun time w/ family.
like that quote at the top about the weekend~ so true!!
happy wednesday to ya~!
you always make such beautiful tributes. i wish you would pass the photos through me, however.
i always prefer the ones that don’t look so much like me! thanks for a wonderful weekend. i love going into my pantry and not seeing a thick layer of dust!!!!!! thanks again for the hard work, everyone!!!!!!!!
