My mom's senior high school picture.
Mom at her birthday dinner with the family in 2011.
Happy Mother's Day to my mother-in-law, and thank you for raising such a wonderful son and teaching him to be a great husband and father. Thanks for everything you do for all of us!
My mother-in-law and father-in-law
My mother-in-law, Diane, standing. Seated to her right, is another special mother in our family -- my husband's paternal grandmother, Kathryn, who celebrated her 95th birthday this February. His maternal grandmother died when he was still in college.
On Mother's Day, I always think of my grandmothers. Both have passed away now, but they were such an important part of my life. I was so fortunate to have both grandmothers for a good part of my life.
Below is my maternal grandmother (and grandfather) when I was about ten years old.
And this is my paternal grandmother, with my sister and I at Easter. Aren't our hair bands just the height of fashion? :)
Happy Mother's Day to my sister, whose sweet daughter just graduated with honors from college last weekend.
This is my sister and I at the beach when our children were very young. That's me on the left with the dark hair, and my sis is on the right.
I've been so blessed to be a mother. This was our first "child."
We practiced with Bonnie and then were so fortunate to have our son.
Happy Mother's Day to all my sister bloggers; I hope you had a wonderful day!

Hi Denise, I am still up! Watching tv - Sunday is a busy night, I watch one show and record another!! Hope you had a wonderful day. It is fun to see old family photos, it seems we all have similar shots! xo
ReplyDeleteVery nice post. A tribute to all mothers and families held together with their love. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post Denise :o) Hope you had a lovely Mothers Day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments, the plate you spied on the dresser is from The Georgian Collection by Churchill - a charity shop bargain! I do have other, old pieces that are very similar in 'Denmark' pattern by Furnival Limited, but as a blue and white junkie that's hardly surprising! You can read about them here: http://secondhrose.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/i-just-cant-resist-can-i.html
Have a great week!

I have to say right at first that your mom hasn;t really changed since high school! She has the exact same pretty smile.
ReplyDeleteLoved the way you shared your family pictures with us. Isn't your husband blessed to still have a grandparent? Oh, how I wish I did.
Happy Belated Mother's Day!
Your post was just wonderful. I love all the pictures of your family. They remind me a lot of mine too. I love all these memories that people are writing about right now in blogville. It's been so nostalgic for everyone. I just love when that happens.
