MOTHER'S DAY 2008

Mother's Day 2008


Ava and Mama, Mother's Day 2008


Ava's gifts for mommy, made at daycare.



Ava's gift for mommy made at preshool.




My Mom, Ava and I.
We spent a few hours with my mom today for a barbecue lunch.
Mom, I don't tell you enough how much I love you and appreciate all you do for me.
I am especially thankful for all the help you give me with Ava, she just adores you!



For Ava's Birthmother !






























I wanted to plant something with Ava in remberance of her Birthmother.
I went to the garden centre looking for a Chinese Lily to plant and when I passed this plant the aroma stopped me in my tracks. It has such a beautiful scent and the flowers were quite attractive also. When I looked at the name on the tag I was shocked to see it was called a "Chinese Wisteria"...had never heard of it before...I took it as a sign that this was the plant we were looking for...never did find a Chinese Lily!
