Mother's Day

This year, we spent a beautiful day at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, WA. We wanted to stay local and this gem has a special place in my heart being I once worked there.

It was a perfect day. There is nothing like me being with my family. I love it! I photographed them racing down hillsides and drinking up sunshine. My heart is full, I just love being a mom. At dinner, Ted asked each of the kids to share something they were thankful for about me. Mid-way, I was in tears. From the mouth of babes..... nothing like it. Natalie gave thanks for how hard I work to take care of everyone. Will loves how I cuddle him. And Lydia likes to play with me. Thank you precious offspring for a day I will remember always. You are sunshine to my soul and I give thanks every day that I am blown away blessed to be your Mama.
