Mother's Day

Mother's day was a beautiful day. I was grateful to be able to celebrate the blessings God has given me in my three children. Through them, God has grown me in patience, selflessness, true joy, grace, forgiveness, and unconditional love. The kids made me cards and gave me new poles and a water filter for hiking. Now, I can really begin to train well for the 22-mile hike in Hawaii next summer....thus the reason I am carrying the baby on Mother's Day :)

We enjoyed a great hike at Raven's Rock on the Appalachian Trail. Here are some photos:
