Mother's Day


Jay's brother sent this picture of Alex to me on Mother's Day. This is the best gift a mom could ask for-a beautiful picture of her child, and to sleep in (which I got too). Jay gave me three great books (City of Thieves-great book) and Alex gave me a picture he had made at school. He also gave me his health. He had been very ill the week before with hand, foot and mouth disease which was horrible. He could not eat, sleep or barely drink for almost 5 days. He lived on the drinkable yogurts, without those he would have wasted away. We couldn't even tempt him with donuts, candy, nothing. Poor thing was miserable and as a result so were we. We would find ourselves up at 3 in the morning watching Cars or Spirit just so he would stop crying. He missed two weeks of school which was not fun either but we wanted to make sure he was completely cured before sending him back!!
