This might have been my best Mother’s Day yet.  It was the first time I received a gift from Makenna that she made at school!  Earlier in the week she brought home a bag that she drew on that was stapled shut and I was told not to open it until Mother’s Day.  Inside the bag was a jewelry stand that she made from popsicle sticks, along with a card. The card a photo of her on one side, and a poem in French on the other side.  As I started reading the card, Makenna surprised me by reciting the poem!  It was one of the sweetest moments.

I also received a beautiful gift from Ryan- a rose gold bracelet that says “maman”.  It is handmade in Paris and will be a great souvenir of our time here in France.

I’m so lucky to have 2 amazing children who call me “maman”, and a husband who helped me earn that title!
