Branding 2016

Darren spent Mother's Day weekend branding at the ranch.

He said it was a long day.  We'll take his word on it since we stayed home.

Belated Mother's Day

We had a late Mother's Day for me since Darren was in South Dakota over Mother's Day weekend.

 Stephen wrapped this by himself.  We are short on paper if you haven't figured out already.

 Blase gave me the Star Wars VII movie I bought myself but saved for Mother's Day.

I still haven't watched it but they have seen it twice since I opened it.

 Brigid was so excited she just randomly hugged me.

 4-slot toaster from Stephen

You have no idea how long I have wanted one of these.  We have only ever had a 2-slot toaster.  It takes FOREVER to make toast for our family using that thing.

 Cormac's present was also wrapped in a collection of wrapping paper.

 You can't read it, but its a prayer to God about kids and farming.

 Rex gave me three knives and two Tiny Saints charms.  

St. Dymphna and Our Lady of Good Hope.

Here is the blog post from years ago when we stopped by that shrine.

 Brech gave me some Perfectly Posh items - one lip balm and one scrub.

Gianna gave me a book of poems. 

 Brigid gave me a sign for the door.  It would welcome you if you came to visit today.

Kiara gave me a Faith Family Farming sign that matches the one from Cormac.

Today we went out for supper after Mass to celebrate Mother's Day.

Even if it was spread out throughout the week - I had a good Mother's Day.

Out of patience, at least they are all in the picture.

 My attempt at a family picture.  ha ha

 At least two sets of bunny ears in there - even if you can't see them.
