By the time we got home last night, Maddie wasn’t feeling very well. I gave her a bath and afterwards she said in a pathetic little voice, “Miss Jacquie, my head hurts.” So, we left her with Dave and Tyler and Daisy and I went to get her some medicine. When we got back, this is what we came home to… out like a light - so sweet.

I know I’m way too old to STILL want babies, but I got to sit right behind THIS in church this morning…

Isn’t he the most adorable thing?? I seriously wanted to just hold him.
I hope y’all had a happy Mother’s Day. I am always so thankful for my mother. She really is the model mom. I’ve never heard her say an unkind word about anyone and she is the most submissive wife and sacrificial mother you will ever find. (I didn’t get all those character traits, unfortunately.) I am so thankful that God chose her to be my mother.
I’m also SO thankful for my boys… and the women God has placed in their lives. They always make me feel special and loved – they know my love languages.
Last night, Tyler, Daisy and Maddie gave me an early Mother’s Day/Birthday gift. A little book they made. I LOVE it and it was just so thoughtful!! (Here are a few of the pages)

We’ve had a lot of really significant and special moments in the past year …

…and they captured so many moments for me to remember always.

I started crying when I got to this page – our first time getting to take care of Maddie.

This has been a really meaningful weekend for the Goulets… and getting to finish it off with a wonderful Mother’s Day has heaped blessing upon blessing.
“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19 NIV)
