A new kind of Mother's Day

Sally Jane does not look so excited to take our annual Mother's Day photo, but none the less we took it.

Sunday was just a great new kind of Mother's Day.  It was Jeff's first day as Bishop of our church congregation. He conducted the meeting and even had time after the speakers to share a few thoughts.  It was quite touching.
I was thrilled to get this photo of him and I (even though Annie Kate had it on super zoom) since we did not get one the week before.
I guess his gray hair can't get any grayer, so I wonder how different we will look in 5 years.

What I loved about this Mother's Day was that it was the first time I didn't care about me.  I was thrilled to be Jeff's biggest fan and welcome some families in our home for dinner. 

One of the young men came over after dinner and gave me a long stem red rose, to wish me Happy Mother's day.  Now if that does not melt your heart, I don't what does.
