A Lucky Mom

I'm a lucky mom. I've got two loving, intelligent, funny sons and both of them happen to be home with me for Mother's Day for the first time in four years. Jeffrey will have to head back to RMC in Kingston later today but he had an unexpected leave to come home this weekend, and so he did. I'm going to sit back and enjoy my time with my boys. I hope you enjoy the Mother's Day flowers in the photos below.

Happy Mother's Day!
