happy birthday, mommy!

today is my mother's birthday. she's, well, seventy-something-ish.


(that's her in the cute white hat!)
she's amazing. so vivacious, and vital to my life. she loves my husband,
feeds my kitties when i'm out of town,
and cares so wonderfully for toby at a moments notice.
and boy, does that kid adore her. he constantly asks
when he can go to nana's house. just the other day,
he said that we needed to go over to her house so he could
tell her something. i said, what do you need to tell her?
he replied, just wait 'til we get there and you will see.
apparently, i'm not cleared for their top secret conversations.

she's always been supportive- even when i was being a spoiled
youngest child that needed to change from ballet to tap to
gymnastics back to ballet then on
to whatever else caught my fancy that month!
she knew when to discipline, and when to cuddle,
how to be strict, and how to be lenient when fitting.
she's accomplished so much, and never looks for recognition,
even though there are thousands that owe her a standing ovation..........

happy birthday, mommy- love, tt shaun shaun
