Happy Mother's Day! (by Meg)

Neither Matthew nor I has posted lately, probably because we rely on Mommy to be our typist, and she's been really busy chasing us all over the house recently. However, we had some extra time with Daddy this weekend and wrangled him into helping us with this post, which we wrote to say only one thing:

We have the bestest, bestest, better than best-ever Mommy in the whole wide world!

As any good church tech director would do, our daddy tried to make this a video post, but it didn't turn out exactly like we wanted. Nevertheless, some of the outtakes are cute.

Here was Matthew's best attempt:



And mine:



It's true, Mommy. We love you soooooo much, even if we are more interested in the camera than in telling you so.

In the original script, we had a bunch of other things we were going to say we love about you:

MATTHEW: Your generous hugs and kisses
MEG: Your patient teaching at school time
MATTHEW: Rough-and-tumble in the living room
MEG: Your quickness to forgive our sins against you
MATTHEW: Bible reading before bedtime
MEG: Praying with you for Daddy when he's working late
MATTHEW: All the yummy food you make for our tummies
MEG: And for doing the dishes, too
MATTHEW: Letting us play in the mud
MEG: Choosing such cute dresses for me on Sundays
MATTHEW: Praying for my future wife each day
MEG: Praying for my future husband each day
MATTHEW: Seeking to train us up in the Lord
MEG: Seeking to grow in the Lord yourself, especially when we don't make mommying easy for you
MATTHEW: For loving us as only the bestest mommy could
MEG: Yeah, for loving us as only the bestest mommy could
ALL: Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!
