Happy Mother's Day....

I hope you made as many memories as I did this Mother's Day.  
Let's begin with Elli trying hard to look like her older brother by giving herself a chocolate goatee....

After breakfast....and some lounging....we headed to Cape May and visited the lighthouse....
It was a beautiful day to visit the beach....
....and climb the 6 stories of circular stairs to the top of the lighthouse....
Me and my beautiful children at the top of the lighthouse...
The ocean was beautiful....
From the top of the lighthouse you can see the WWII bunker built on the beach.  
This area of New Jersey was a hotbed for U-boat activity during WWII....

 Trevor and Joshua are such rebels....we can't take them anywhere.....
 
My beautiful princess....
 ...with her Mama....
 My super twins....
 ....with their Mama....
The SS Atlantus...launched December 5, 1918...
Her final resting place is in Cape May, New Jersey...
 Cape May is a dreamy little beach town with beautiful beach cottages everywhere....
 ....and lots of little restaurants where you can get burgers and ice cream....
  Don't mind Joshua...he hates getting his picture taken...just like his daddy....
 Jason, however, LOVES to smile for the camera....
....and pose for pictures too.  
Here he is blowing out his french fry stuck in his burger....
And, seeing as no Mother's Day would be complete without the little ones that make Mother's Day possible, I would like to introduce you all to my new nephew....

There is nothing better than the memories I have for this Mother's Day!!
Thanks to my Hubba and children for spoiling me and loving me so much today!!!
Happy Mother's Day!!

I love your blogs. You always have great pictures and you're always having so much fun. I'm also leaving a message for you because I tried to send you an e-mail but it was undeliverable. A woman I know here in Palmyra who homeschools her children posted this website on facebook. I thought of you when I saw it, maybe you’ve already heard of it or maybe it won’t interest you but for some reason I wanted to send you the link. It is called Freedom Project Education, Christian Values-Classical Curriculum https://www.fpeusa.org/.
Sending hugs to everyone, Laurie
