Mother's Day Weekend Recap

Whew...we had a very busy, very emotional weekend...I will spare you the details of all the emotional stuff and just give a quick recap. It's just that special days are hard...for lots of reasons, but nonetheless they are hard. Plus I received some hard news about my brother. Please be in prayer for him. He had some moles removed and they came back positive for skin cancer...so now he must go back so the Dr. can dig deeper and determine what stage it is in. He had 5 moles removed and 4 came back positive. Pray that they have been caught early and are treatable. Then we found out a friend that my brother grew up with was KIA (killed in action) over the weekend. Just another shocking reminder that really puts life into perspective...and a reminder that I am soon going to be sending both my hubby and brother back "over there" Please be in prayer for this soldiers family and for all our soldiers who fight for us.

Now for Mother's day...
On Saturday we had a t-ball game so my mom and brother came up to watch Jack play. After the game we took mom out to eat at her favorite restaurant. It was so nice to be all together. Below are some pictures:

Then on Sunday we woke up, went to church, and then to my in-laws where J, his brother, his dad, and his grand-dad all cooked and cleaned up for me, J's mom, and grandmother. They cooked a low country boil (one of my faves), hamburgers and hotdogs, cole slaw, and cornbread. For dessert we had strawberry shortcake. The guys did a GREAT job! I could totally get used to it, but I guess its back to reality huh? =) Below are some pictures from Mother's Day. I failed to take a picture of my mother-in-law and J's grandmother...=(
