Yes, this years Mothers Day was EXTRA special since it is Lucy Lane's first Mothers Day home with her family....and my first Mother's Day as a Momma OF 5!!! It was a GREAT day and we all had so much fun together.....We headed to Kentucky bright and early to join the entire fam for some lunch.... 
Above, we have me with my mom, my grandma and two of my sisters...Yes, I wore jeans and my "I love My Kids" shirt....I'm just the type!! :) 
My hubby with his Momma pictured above..........
After lunch we headed over to my sister's house where we all hung out for the afternoon and let all the cousins play....13 cousins were present today...so they had lots of fun running around together.......(Isn't Cousin Nathan from Ethiopia getting big? He's so adorable)
Me and my two sisters...(sister Karson STILL isn't getting out with her newborn...and brother Michael lives in Arizona....just an fyi)

ReplyDeleteOh,Kristi. This brings tears to my eyes. So wonderful! I adore Lucy's dress! She is such a beautiful baby! I am the one who emailed you a bit ago about our adoption - we have now gone public. I am trying to spread the news as we try to raise funds. Is there anyway you could spread the news here on your blog? Thanks so much! I can see how blessed you feel in all of your photographs. My arms ache for my baby in Ethiopia.
