This Mother's day is 1 of at least 4 that we will not be able to spend with our Mom's. That's no fun, because we miss them both so much! But we hope you know (Mom Hannig & Mom Jones), that we are thinking of you today....just like we do everyday! And we certainly wish we could be there spending this special day with each of you!
MY MOM:
What an amazing woman! She has taught me so much and continues to teach me through her example. I took from her the desire to stay home & raise my children. I know I have mentioned this before, but I know that I wouldn't have made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom if I hadn't had one myself. Even when the financial stresses tried to push me out into working, it did little to budge me...because I knew how great it was to have a mom who was around while dad was working. I wouldn't be the same person today if things would have been different! She is a woman of strength and endurance (as she has raised 3 hormonal teenage daughters along with a son, and still has 3 more daughters to go). Mom, thank you for the time that you have invested in me. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you & hope you know that in my eyes, you are a great success as a mother....MY MOTHER!!!!
BRETT'S MOM:
Now, I have heard that this woman can be strict & stern (after all, she was a school teacher). But I have a hard time believing any of that...because I have only seen a wonderful loving mother in my six years of being part of this family. She is the most giving person I have ever met & I have no doubt that she would give until she had nothing left. I have seen countless acts of service towards us, the rest of the family, & to neighbors & friends. When Brett & I were dating, he use to brag about his mom....and he still thinks she is pretty special...as do we. Teddi, thank you for raising the most wonderful son & for accepting me as a daughter. I love you & appreciate all you do for me & our family.
And to all the other Mother's (or soon to be mother's...) we hope you have a great day!
**Translation for the video clip (since it took us 6 times to get something decent). "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. WE LOVE YOU. WISH WE WERE THERE." (Brett thinks they should have said "Wish you were here", but I told him that we would much rather be there with you that have you here with us.....although that would be our second choice!).

Thanks for the sweet words about my mom. I think she is pretty amazing as well (believe me she could be stern!) Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day
I've enjoyed catching up on your blog! I really need to update mine, too, but sometimes I'd just rather sleep when the kids are asleep, ha ha. You are so creative. It looks like you guys are doing great!
