Gail turned 60. We couldn't let this birthday pass without a big celebration! I often look back and thank God for gail- for so many reasons, but the one that often comes to my mind is that God knew i would still need a mother in my life after he took my own. I need one during pregnancies, births, child rearing, and amazing sales and clearances! He put her in my life for that very reason and although i deeply miss my mom, i couldn't imagine my life without gail. The hole would be much larger and harder to deal with if it wasn't for gail. You don't get to pick your mother-in-law. She just kind of comes with the husband, but i am so blessed that TJ's mom is awesome. It could have been so bad, but instead it was such a good thing!
I LOVE you, gail! And although i don't call you "mom" you are one to me and for that i am so very thankful. After six years of calling you "gail" i just couldn't switch what i called you that easily.
We love you for you and that is why you are so worth celebrating!
Jaelynne was so excited to celebrate Nammy's birthday.
TJ started cooking in the kitchen at 11:30 and didn't stop cooking until 6:30. Then it was clean-up!
The girls had so much fun on lori and trevor's bed.
Such giggling and smiles!
A dress is for twirling!

I usually keep up with things on FB, and then I think: "Check the blog!!" So, I hadn't looked here in many days. I am so grateful, Lins, that you always take the time and give the effort to put your heart to words. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and for opening yourself. Sometimes my heart says, "Thank you, Lynne, for all the ways you taught Lindsey to love." And thank you, God, for bringing all our lives to-gether. Of course you know, there are tears all over my face. Humbled and proud to be loved as mom.
