The other day Bryant asked me, amongst his never-ending, random questions, "Where's your mommy's mommy?" I searched for a picture of my grandma Ruth to show him and found this one that my mom had made a copy of and gave to me a while ago. I love this picture of her and my grandpa! It was taken in the late 40's/early 50's during an interview she had had with some popular magazine of the time. Amazingly, it was taken just a few days after she had given birth to twin boys (she had a total of six living children). Although I never knew my grandma at this stage of her life, raising her family, I often times think of her and how she did it (and with six!) as I am now raising my own brood of boys. Grant it, I only knew the fun, loving lady who spoiled her grandkids with ice cream and sugar free gum, I'm amazed to think of how this special, dear woman has influenced me, even today. So as we are approaching Mother's Day, and thinking of the wonderful women in our lives who have influenced us for the better, I would like to mention with gratitude my own mother and grandmothers who have inspired me through my own joys and challenges of motherhood. Happy Mother’s Day!

Before I became a mom I didn't know what all of the fuss was about. I always thought that it was going to be such an easy job. Now that I am a mother I have so much respect and admiration for not only mom mom but for all other moms out there because they are amazing women!
Well said Teneil!! Yeah for all the mothers, and the amazing oppertunity we all have to raise children. :)
