My Mother's Day Present

Cliff and Aaron bought me flowers. I was preparing to put the flowers in the vase and Aaron was sitting at the counter watching me. Then he goes: "I gave mama the flowers because she's the best girl in the world and because I love her very much". Cliff overheard it and said that it was completely impromptu.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers!

What a wonderful way to celebrate motherhood! Happy Mother's day to every woman who poured her life into others. It's the hardest labor on earth, and may our Lord reward you for all your sacrifices, sleepless nights, love and care.

Мамулечка, с Днем Матери тебя! Спасибо за твою жертвенность, любовь и заботу. Пусть Господь воздаст тебе сполна за твой труд!

The Move

So it's been almost a week since we moved to our home. And unpacking is still under way. We love our new house and our neighborhood. For me, it turned out better than I expected. The house seems to be in a better shape when it's vacant and cleaned.We're in the process of cleaning the carpet before we can replace it. And our new carpet cleaner is doing a good job. Our breakfast/dining area has a big window (you can see it from the front of the house). The neighborhood is beautiful and very friendly. The day we moved we met all our close neighbors (I only met one neighbor in a little over a year when we lived in Gaitherburg). Everyone was coming over to greet us and welcome us to the neighborhood. LOTS of kids. Probably every other house on the block has either a pre-schooler or a kindergartener. Just couple houses down the road is a long trail that takes you through a field and woods. 5 minute walk on the trail and you're in the woods on a huge shaded playground. Ashburn Park.

Our computer is dying a slow death and I can't import any more pictures:(
