I was blessed to make a trip to Kentucky to see the graduation of my middle child with her Bachelor's of Education, and was also there to visit with my children and my own mother (and dad) on Mother's day.  I did take a few photos but I must warn you that I am an amateur, these basically being my first, and I did not do a very good job at all keeping my camera still.

But you can get the gist of what my little band looks like after all this time. I think it is the first time I am posting photos of my children.

I rode on three planes for the first time, and finally got over my fear of flying, since I just had to!  The third plane was a little Cessna seven seater, and I geared up to panic, but found that it was most pleasant!  The rain was pounding on us on the way there, but it was truly not scary and on the way home, it was clear and I got to see what was going on under us the whole time!

This is my middle child, Liza Anne, who graduated, and is being interviewed for jobs for the fall.  Please say a prayer that she will be suitably accommodated with the job she wishes for.

Next is a picture of her with her future husband, my son and his fiance, my eldest daughter and her family (see my little granddaughter) and then some of us on Mother's day in the new outfit my son bought me.

I had a wonderful time, but was equally happy to be back to my little apartment in the beautiful little city of Brigham City, Utah; I am definitely happy here.

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
Looks like a great celebration!  Your little grand daughter has such striking blue eyes!  Lovely Mother's Day outfits, too.  And a fine job of family photos.  Utah is a long way from Kentucky- bet you'll be doing some more flying now that you've conquered your fear!

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
Yes, it was, and thanks for the compliment on my photographic efforts.  I got too close on some, and fuzzy on others, but practice will hopefully make perfect, hey?

Yes, my granddaughter is unfortunately tossed between her daddy (my son in law) and her mother, but seems to be okay with it so far. 

And yes, I will fly as often as we are able to afford it, and they will come to us at times as well.  Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder on all sides!

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
Thank you; I am so huge, but am working on that as well; I have lost 8.5 pounds since I have been here, so it is a good start anyway.

My photography skills will improve with practice as everything else does.

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
It is a good start...

at peace with yourself.

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky

As Love Spirit said...Your shoes say so much about your passion...your energy, your personality...your desire.

Thank you for sharing, what a lovely family!

Who is in the last pic, with the yellow flowers?

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
Hi there, and thank you for adding me, by the way! And what is your first name, or the one I can call you please?

Thank you for the compliment on my family.  The person in the last picture is the same eldest daughter who was in the picture with the other two children, and with her stepchild ..and also in one with her hubby.  She just looks much more beautiful with her hair freshly washed and down and was SOOOOOOOO proud to have found a dress that looked so pretty on her.  Thanks for asking.

Welcome home!

These are lovely pics, Bonnie.  I'm glad you had a good journey (I love flying!) and that you had such a beautiful time with your family.

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
Thank you, Sandi! It was surprising how much I did actually enjoy the flying experience after I just made up my mind not to be a wimp. 

And yes, no matter how old they get, the kids will always be my babies, and the eldest is the most clingy, having been with me for five years before the other two arrived.  She gave me drama every time I wanted to do anything away from her, so ended up including her in all our plans and it was just fine. 

Now that I have overcome that one fear, this is the way I will have to face the others as they come up.  A part of  crucifying ourselves to the flesh daily is to set aside our petty feelings and push through, doing what we know is best for the Lord, others and ourselves.  I have been frozen up with fear about sending out my writing, about the course I am taking to work online, and basically anything that entails pressure. But, I am starting to take baby steps now, and not to think of it as pressure (if I can.).  My husband has said it does not matter if I make one penny, but that I just do what I can to get over this hump.  I know this is true, and I feel better already for having started to think in this manner.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY again, Sandi girl, and I thank the Lord when in remembrance of you.

Re: Mother's day in Kentucky
Thank you, Bonnie. For both your greetings!

No true growth comes without resistance, you know.  Pain is a part of it. Stress. Discomfort. It's how we meet it that determines our growth and maturity.   I think you're doing great! Baby steps lead to bigger ones and you're taking 'em!
