Happy Mother's Day!

This is Melanie's first Mother's Day with Liam on the outside -- for that, we've been celebrating the entire weekend!

Sometimes it's not until a child is older that they can appreciate how important a good mom is -- the appreciation is sweetest when the history and deep friendship that is the bond between child and mom matures in adulthood. The appreciation gets deeper with the birth of one's own child. This is Mark's experience anyway. He is thankful for his own mom, wishes her (Nana), Donnis/Grandma Arens and Melanie all a wonderful mother's day. He knows that Liam will someday grow to realize the extent of his own appreciation for HIS mom and for that, we all thank his mom, his Nana Nemeth and his grandma Arens...and wish them all...

a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! :)
