If you've met my mom, you know she's the best!
She's been my hero since I was a little kid, and still to this day, she amazes me with her strength, patience, ability to love, and kindness.
Well, today is her birthday and she's doing what she does best....taking care of others. She's watching my nephew this week (while my sister is on her babymoon in St. John's; jealous!) and I know she wouldn't want to spend her birthday any other way.
I have such fond memories of growing up....all the fun trips we took - the big ones, and the little ones. Mom was always the first one to jump in & try a new activity, even if us girls were hesitant. She's always been an "active" mom, and now it's so fun to see her as an "active" Nanny with her grandkids. We've done some crazy stuff....

Christmas 2014 - Not many 62 year olds will roller-skate, go to a trampoline park, and
play on playgrounds with their grandkids!! |

Happy birthday, Beth! Fun memories!
