Mom Turns 90

Mom had a milestone birthday yesterday when she turned 90! 

We recently returned from a trip to Salt Lake City (more about that later), and there wasn't a solid plan yet about how we'd celebrate. And, tricky, tricky with everyone's work and travel schedules! We decided to just surprise Mom after lunch (and before Tuesday church services started), and whoever could go, would go. Katie and the boys went with, and Mark was able to sneak away from his work day for the hour.

It was so great to see Mom's happy face. She hadn't seen Aaron for quite awhile, and had never yet met Daniel! Of course there was a piece of chocolate cake for her, and a couple of cozy, new sweatshirts with sparkles on them. 

Aaron was charming, and found plenty of stuffed animals to hold, and a kaleidoscope to look through. Daniel had his usual grin on, and hung out, moving from lap to lap. 

Baby Daniel loves watching his big brother!

We took lots of pictures, which is getting more and more important as time passes. And, I think the amount of time that we were there was just about right. And, though Mom seemed to forget at times that it even was her birthday, I hope there will be a time that she remembers we were there, and that will feel good. 💜

Living in the moment can be good.
