A Great Weekend!


Weekend Recap:
Friday night: Jeremy and I attended the visitation to see Marianne. There were so many beautiful pictures of Rich and their family all around. A wonderful video slide show was playing with pictures of Rich's life. By the age of 36 he had so many wonderful life experiences. He "Lived Rich"!!!
Saturday: McKenzie had her Piano Merits at 9:00am. We were excited to learn yesterday that she received a perfect score!! Way to go Kenzie, I'm so proud of the wonderful piano player you are. We attended Rich's memorial service in the afternoon. It was very nice. I loved when his brother played Rich and Marianne's favorite song on the piano, and when Rich's dad spoke. I loved how he reminded the boys that although their dad was no longer physically on the earth with them, his spirit will be felt throughout their lives. We ate dinner at Jose Pepper's, delicious Mexican food!! Spent the evening helping Jer install our new laundry cabinets.> They look so great(photos to come)

Sunday:Had a wonderful Mother's Day. I love my three girls so very much. I'm so grateful I get to be their mom. They bring joy into my life everyday!! I love my new flower pots and flowers, and the cute handmade gifts! I loved the brunch Jer and the girls made!! It was a great day!

Jill, first of all, how did you get your background soooo cute?! I LOVE it. I have tried to do that before but can't get it right. you will have to teach me in June at Mom's. I love all the pictures of you and the girls. I think the one of you smiling at Jer is really sweet. You are such a beautiful mother. I am so glad you had a nice day! By the way did you see Ash's first post!??? So, exciting. I told my mom when she comes into town we would start her and dad's blog and she said she just doesn't have time, but I told her she could do ONE post a month and she should be able to handle that. Don't you agree? Wouldn't it be so fun to have the whole fam on board? You should get your sisters to do them also!
