.....was almost perfect. (Not long after calling and wishing my mom a Happy Mother's Day - she fell and broke her nose. At least she was able to laugh about it after 3 hours in the Emergency Room). Bob and Kevin and I, along with Chrissie and Brock sat through Kelli's high school games on Saturday morning at Mishawaka. In the second game - Kelli hit her 1st ever home run!!! Of course, Kevin left after the first game and Chrissie and Brock arrived about 5 minutes after she rounded the bases. But Bob and I were there to see that big grin!!! Saturday afternoon we worked in the yard - lots of trimming and planting flowers. As tired as we were, Bob and I went out for a late supper at SONNY'S - in Buchanan. Yesterday, we were all in church together. We've given up trying to find a pew big enough for the entire family - but it still warms my heart to look down that pew and see my seven children. Four years ago on Mother's Day, Bobby was in Iraq. It was a cold and rainy - miserable day and I remember feeling so "blue" until I got that phone call from 11,000 miles away. Colleen and Jimmy took us to lunch at the Bonefish, along with Jimmy's parents. A wonderful lunch and a nice chance to visit. Evening found us babysitting with Nolan, Grace and Jack while Carrie and Joe enjoyed her Mother's Day gift - golf clubs from her husband. While they snuck in a quick 9 holes at the country club, we went for a walk, played on the swingset and managed a bubble bath before I headed home to a good book.
