Mother’s Day 2008
My arms are full.
When I was a school girl I was often asked the question, “What are you going to be when you grow up?” I always said that I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. And look what God did. . ..he gave me the life I always wanted.
I’m just so content. I just ate a yummy breakfast made for me by my husband, I’m sitting here in my robe, and I’m grinning. Just like in the photo.
I praise God for the life He has given me.
***********
My mom was a wonderful example to me. She is the reason why my heart is so content at home, being a wife, and mothering my children.
Happy Mother’s Day
“My soul shall be satisfied as with
marrow and fatness:
and my mouth shall praise thee
with joyful lips.” Psalms 63:3-5
Good to be Home 
. . . and a Happy Mother’s Day to you, too ~
God surely is the giver of good gifts – hope your day is wonderful! ~Colleen~

Beautiful pictures!! Have the happiest of Mothers Day….may the contentment you have today stay with you through the whole year….even during the yuck days when kids are tracking mud, arguing, refusing to do homework and dinner is burning on the stove- while your trying to get gum out of a little ones hair. **LOL**
Hugs! Cass

I absolutely LOVE that top picture! The quilts behind and the colors are just wonderful! You are a rich, rich, richly blessed Momma! I hope you have a perfectly splendid day!
You are such an inspiration to me! That top picture of your children in front of the row of quilts is so good.

Happy Mother’s Day, Shanda! Your family pictures are beautiful.
Happy Mother’s Day! A wonderful series of posts….such a blessing. God is so good in blessing us and blessing our children….HIS ideas are the best! Love the new header with all those adorable faces. Love the quilts too….I like quilts. Kind of like flowers…they are so colorful and cheerful! Jenny
Happy Mothers Day Shan! What a sweet and tender hearted post! I really enjoyed it! Love you! Lish
What a beautiful post!!! Beautiful pictures of beautiful gifts from God ~Isn’t it wonderful having your arms full!!
oh, and I love the quilt background too!
Happy Mother’s Day Shanda! You have been truly blessed with arrows in your quiver. Have another great year being their mother and enjoying all the fun things you dream up to do with them.
My arms and heart are full as well. . .I actually got around to posting yesterday instead of just blogging in my head like I usually do. I love your pictures. . .how did you get that header up at the top?? My boys do NOT like to have their pictures taken, so I was fortunate to get the one nice one I got out in front of our flowers. My second son, Nate (age 7), just really hates pictures, but he’s so cute and I keep telling him to get use to it!! Yesterday was bliss, having the day off, enjoying time alone and with the kids having fun. . .now today is back to work—grocery shopping with the little ones, helping the big ones w/homework, baseball game with Sam (9), but I LOVE IT ALL, even the day in and day out stuff of life. . .wouldn’t trade my life for the world. Happy Belated Mother’s Day to you—
Happy belated Mothers Day! It looks sounds like it was a wonderful one!!! I love the pictures! What a blessing!!! I wish I would have gotten pictures…oh, well…still recovering from my surgery and not so quick on the thinking still! Hahaha!!! Your children are adorable and you are as well! :o) Cute hair! I did read your other post about Rich liking your hair back…Jason is somewhat the same way…he says he likes to see all of my face and see my eyes better! :o) Our husbands are so sweet aren’t they! OH, how we have been so blessed! What an amazing thing God has created for us to all share in! Family!!!
OH, one more thing…I forgot to tell you that I love the picture of the kids in the header with the quilts! Are those quilts that were made for each of them? They are beautiful! and what a wonderful idea for a picture!!!

I love the picture of the kids with the quilts!!! I know exactly what you’re saying; motherhood was my purpose in this life.
