| Andrew has been finding treasures on his woods' walks. He has found THREE owl pellets which he is over the moon about. The boy has eagle eyes in the woods. |

| The amphibian visits have begun- spring finally sprung. |

| Smoothie breakfasts replace scones...another sure sign. |

| fruit trees in bloom! Sooooo exciting! |
Once upon a time, I never would have dreamed of children dissecting owl pellets on my bed and being there, enjoying it all, with them. I never would have known I would admire so many frogs, newts and creatures as I do every week (day!) now. I never would have imagined all the laundry that children produce, how much food can disappear and how quickly, how many reprimands a child requires and how many infinitely more hugs and kisses are necessary for the proper raising of children.
I never would have imagined having so many moments of my life given up for the sake of the people who need me.
It is an exhausting life, this. It is a busy job, motherhood. But it is a spell-binding, wonder-filled, laugh-inducing, beautiful, amazing journey. And so, so, so important.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mama's whose daily work it is to make home a haven for those people, big and little, who enter in.
We are world changers....watch out! ;-)

Every time I think about you and your family I get giddy inside! I am so excited for you. I am pretty sure I have told you our story about babies and my heart on the issue. Even if I didn't I know the joy you have in your heart and in some strange way I feel that joy for you! Even though I only know you online you are a household name. I promise I am NOT a stalker....haha!! Happy Mothers Day!
