This is my mom...

To answer my sis-in-law's question, "what's a baerbel*?" hee hee hee.

A Baerbel is something i like to call my mom. She is silly. She worships the sun. no really. She is easily pleased and amused. She cooks delicious meals for me including some meatballs that did NOT burn my eyeballs. She entertains my kids. She stays up late watching movies and eating candy. She takes me out to lunch. She spent all day yesterday helping me clean my house! and then she flew home...sniff sniff

You'd think now that i am a mom i would make the extra effort to be sure I show my appreciation to my mother. But even now, just like when i was a kid i forget to say thank you. Thanks mom for everything!!! I never realize how awesome you are til you're gone. * FYI-"Baerbel" is my mom's first name. She is from Germany. no worries Dianna, I can't even say it the correct way and she's my mom.

oh ya and just so you don't feel left out...i love you too dad! hee hee. Dads totally get the shaft sometimes. What can I say? perhaps if you cleaned a toilet for me i might cry when you leave too:) ha ha. Although you did change a poopy bum when i felt nausious already. I will never forget it!

It was a special treat to get to see you even if it was for a short weekend:) and i absolutely love seeing you play with my kids!!!

To the best parental units in the world!!!
