Mother's Day

Sunday was a great day and I'm so grateful to be the mom to Danny, Sarah, Emily and Adrianne. Sarah set her alarm and called in the morning and I talked to Adrianne a little bit later (Hawaii being 5 hours earlier).

Emily, Danny, and I decided to worship on the river instead of church - we slept in a bit and then got up and packed a picnic. We headed to Turkey Run - Emily drove so that I could sit in the back and read. After we got into Marshall, we stopped by Sugar Valley and rented kayaks for an eight mile trip down Sugar Creek. The trip took just over two hours and we hardly saw anyone else the whole time we were there. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. . . perfect! Pictures to come - have to finish up the waterproof camera and get them developed.

After the trip we drove over to Turkey Run and got spread out for a picnic. Danny was STARVING and said he was so hungry he would even eat egg salad. When we got the sandwiches out, Danny's peanut butter one was the only thing that got wet :( but he still wouldn't eat the egg salad. We enjoyed our picnic and didn't stay too long, as we had to get home for the Survivor finale. Debbie, Meghan and Tom came over to watch. The Davidson's were going to come, but they had to drive to South Bend for soccer that day and they were wiped out by 8:00 (and Austin was ready to be home - he broke his wrist the day before in a soccer game).

Adrianne sent me a beautiful card, Sarah is bringing hers home Sunday (can't wait for her to be here) and Emily and Danny made me this one:
