Mother's Day

On Mother's Day weekend, Wade spent Friday night and Saturday helping his parents move his sister Whitney to her new place in Charleston after she graduated from speech pathology school.  I guess that was his Mother's Day present to his mom :).

Sunday morning, we went to church & it was a pretty typical day.  After the kids' naps, I got the idea that we should go to the cemetery, so we did!  It's probably the first time Wade's been back since mom's funeral.  I finally had someone to take a picture of me with the kids at the grave, since I always go on the 4th of July and Wade has been at grad school every year during that time.

My sweet kiddos :).  I wish they knew what a great grandmother they would have had.

The sunlight through the trees did not make the best lighting for pictures, but oh well.

Then that evening, we gathered in typical Johns/Steele/Tapp/Starrett style for a big dinner at Laurie's house.  Here is some of the chaos of all the cousins playing.  It was a great dinner, which all the dads prepared, AND they stayed in the kitchen eating with the kids so that the moms could have a peaceful meal in the dining room.  That was probably the best part of the whole day!
