A Mother's Day Treat

We got to Skype with this awesome guy! He comes home in July from his LDS Mission to CT. I can't wait! As I always mention, he's my nephew, but feels like a little brother.

It was so great to talk to him face to face (ish!) and for him to meet Ben for the first time other than in pictures! Both kids said Hi and a few things but were a little weirded out with him being on the computer and not understanding. More experiences like that and they'll be fine.

It was also fun to see Jason's family (My brother has 5 boys and 1 girl) all talking to him and joking around. I think it made it easier for them with Jason being able to see them all and join in the fun. He's missed all the stuff going on with their house being burned down and by the time he gets back, it'll be close to done!

I've missed him dearly, but am so proud of him for making the decision himself to go on this mission and for the experiences he has had and grown from. It's going to be interesting to see in which ways he has changed or grown in the past 2 years.

Have I mentioned how excited I am?!

Today is Birth Mother's Day

There's a very sweet poem at the bottom of the blog that made this video, though I don't personally like each line, the end of it is beautiful.

Both, my darling, Both, Just two different types of love.
