I have no clue where Ryan was, but he apparently did not
make it for this photo, but I love it. The girls with dad.
Oh! There he is!
Looking oh so thrilled to be interrupted from bug catching
or turtle and frog hunting to pose.
But the best part of the day - was the stash of pictures and cards I received from the kids
And while every single card and picture was the best, (especially the romantic
card from Mike about spending the rest of his life with me) there was
one card that really melted my heart.
Once again, from middle child - Mike’s daughter.
(It’s the bear one in the middle) - I left the spelling as is!
Outside: “Since it’s Mothers Specal Day,
theres somthing that I have to say”
Inside: “You may already know that this is true,
So I will say “I *heart* you”
And then she wrote: “Nicole,
Thank you! I love you so (and it’s underlined like three times) much.
As far as I’m consernd, you are my mom. Thats a complement by the way.
(the whole sentence is underlined)
Thank you again for coming here. I love you. (underlined). Oh, and one more thing, Thank you!
Your almost daughter, Melissa”
Now how cool is that? I was speechless - of course that is because I thought if I opened my mouth, the tears would immediately begin to flow. I read it to my mom and of course that’s when my voice broke and I allowed myself to actually get a bit more emotional over it. It is so important to me that I do just as good a job loving these three girls, as I do my own two kids. And I guess I’m doing something right. It’s just nice to know.
