Mother's Day

It has been a wonderful Mother's Day.

Church was uneventful from a parenting perspective, which is always a blessing. As a matter of fact, getting TO church was uneventful from a parenting perspective, which makes me twice blessed!

The afternoon was spent peacefully hanging out with a friend, as the children played. Her kids, my kids and random neighborhood kids, in and out of the house.

It is as it should be, and as close to my memories of childhood as the current culture will allow ... including the repetitive tolling of "Frère Jacques" announcing the ice cream truck's presence in our neighborhood.

The finale - a bedtime which was also uneventful from a parenting perspective.

Praise God! The trifecta!!! (from a parenting perspective!)
