Hi Wendy.

> I have been a stay home mother for 6 yrs now and like most things, you take

Isn’t it funny how everyone thinks that you have so many children, yet, when you see yourselves in a picture, there just don’t seem to be that many! I know that when we look at a picture of all of our children, it doesn’t seem to be enough!

Hope you had a wonderful, wonderful, Mother’s Day! I certainly did. What a beautiful family. Everyone looks so happy. You’re doing a great job raising your children. They’re expressions on their faces speak for all the love and training they are receiving from such loving parents. Take care.

What a tremendous mother’s day blessing to have all your little ones….well, I guess, almost all…surrounding you. We are very thankful for your family and the testimony that you are to so many, and to our family in particular. Thank you for your family values and convictions.
