Happy Mom's Day!

2008.05.11
My Mama and her watering can.

My mom is a pre-school teacher and her kids planted these flowers for their mom's on Mother's Day. The extras go in our yard.

Lunch.

Dad taking care of the yard.

Mother's Day has been a quiet and relaxing weekend for the family in Grand Haven.

I ran the River Bank Run 25K on Saturday morning (15.5 miles!). My sweet, adoring and wonderful parents made the trip with me to Grand Rapids at 6:30am on Saturday (that's their only sleep-in day too!) to cheer me on. My unofficial time was 2:26. Which I was very happy with.

My legs were out of commision for the rest of Saturday (and still today) so I spent it watching my parents work on the yard. I did help by filling up my mother's watering can with Miracle Grow and water.

A small tribute to my mommy: Miss Mary Ann is the most kind, tender hearted and giving person I know. She always finds the words that comfort and console in the face of adversity. I don't know what I'd do with out her. I'm so lucky to call her my best friend and mother. Happy Mother's Day, Mom! I love you!

Peche Fantastic, day-in-the-life set, Megan, I really, really enjoyed these shots. The composition, the story and happenings they hint at, the great macro of the bee - wonderful, personal and natural tribute to your mother.
