Mom's birthday

On Wednesday, Mom turned 60 years old.  Today we were able to have a party with all the family to celebrate her life.  She is a wonderful, loving and godly woman and I feel exceedingly blessed to have her as a mother and friend.

Andrew and I thought it would be fun to look back on her life and share some of the pictures from it.  We made a dvd presentation to show everyone at the party.  There were far too many pictures on it to show here, but I thought a few of them might be worth posting.

Wow - Your Mom really looks a lot like you in the proposal picture! Nice collection. I love looking through my family's vintage picts. There's something comforting in knowing that they probably had all the same concerns we do and all the same worries, but hey - it came out all right in the end.
