A year ago for Mother’s Day we started this blog. The idea behind it was to create memories. Memories for us, memories for our Boys and memories for our family and friends. Though we may not have posted as much as we have liked, it has been a great year full of many memories. Tessie has helped create all of these great memories.
Being a mother is tough enough, but she has taken it so much farther. Whether it is another OScraps “Challenge” where she continues to become an Adobe Photoshop pro or just uploading to Flickr to share some of these creations with Family and Friends, there is one thing she continues to do and that is love our boys. She always captures those precious moments.
Each page with the special memory of just going to the park, or losing that first tooth, or encapsulating a summer trip into one page just amazes me.
The first Art Show, the first BB Gun, playing in the snow, reading books or even eating a bowl of cereal. It is the simple things in life that we remember but yet take for granted.
My wife continues to be one of the strongest people I know and brings out the best in others. That strength is what helps this family each day.
But what also special to me is that she still has time to keep us all organized, doing different projects and always making sure the boys are taken care of even when she is gone. She is a great wife and mother and deserves to be honored not only for today on Mother’s Day, but all days.
Thank you Tessie for being a great wife and a great mother. I look forward to more memories with our boys and continuing to walk down that path together to watch them grow. Happy Mother’s Day!!
Darin – You are too sweet. Thanks for sharing your wonderful wife with us too! She is truly a wonderful person. =)
Darin and Tessie, Darin, what a nice tribute to Tessie. We agree, she is special. We loved the videos. We wish we could have been there live, but we had some good laughs anyway. Love Mom and Dad
