Mother's Day

WooHoo! My mom and sister flew in today. Although it hasn't been proactively planned, my mom and I (and occasionally my sister too) have ended up together for Mother's Day pretty often in the past 10 years. It really is wonderful and quite a blessing! This year my mom was teaching this past week in Milwaukee and she decided to come over for Mother's Day Weekend. My sister got wind of this plan and decided to join us. I'm so excited! Today we went to Como Park to picnic and walk around conservatory. The plants and flowers are gorgeous! This picture was taken at the Japenese Garden there.

Here's something for you, Mom! I found this and thought it would fun to fill out for you!
