Mother's Day
Once again it is Mother's day. The day when dads do all the work and moms get to rest. Well, rest as much as the kids will let her. I tried to let her sleep late this morning but Mathew was in our bedroom earlier than normal, 6:00 AM. Somehow, Sheryl convinced him to go back to sleep. Then Meghan arrived. She too went back to bed until her alarm went off at 8:10 for Sunday School.
I took her to Sunday school and then we were off to have brunch with the Milwaukee half of our family. One of the best things about being a professional photographer is having a ready supply of gifts available. Both Moms and Grandmas love new photos of the kids. Over the last couple of days, I took some new photos of Meghan and Mathew to give to Sheryl and her Mom as Mother's day gifts. Here are the photos:
As you can expect the gifts were warmly received. Don't the kids look so sweet when they are almost asleep or sleeping? I put Sheryl's in the hall frames when she was out and she was surprised when she saw them. Meanwhile, I wrapped my mother-in-law's photos in a box for her to open at brunch. I also gave everybody wallet sized prints so they could show everybody.
On a sad note, this is the second Mother's day since my mom passed away. There are still times, like today, when she's especially missed. I'm sorry Mathew never really got a chance to meet her and the baby we're expecting will never get to know her. We've decide to honor my mom by naming our son (expected arrival 8/7/6) after my mom. Now we just need to find a name. Any suggestions?
I've also been working on a new promotional slide show for Magical Moments. It can be viewed at http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewshow.html?fl=2593303&alb=0. Just so you know, you may be asked to install the Photodex Presenter Plug-in. It's ok to do so. The show runs about 10 minutes. Take a look and let me know what you think.
