This year Mother’s Day was extra special with the arrival of Dylan just 3 days before and my mom was still here and my Aunt Heidi and grandma came over to meet Dylan and spend the day with us.

It was not anything fancy, just a day spent together, with some yummy snacks, a little champagne and the joy of seeing Oma with her newest great grandson.

I’ve learned a lot from my mom and grandma over the years, growing up.  But now that I am a mom myself I really appreciate these women for who they are and all they have done and I couldn’t ask for better role models.

I can only hope that I will be as good of a mom to my boys as they have been.
