Mother's Day Weekend






On Saturday, Tim, McClain, my sister with her two kids, and I went to the Renaissance Festival. Although parts of it were a little too dramatic for us all, it was over all a very enjoyable day. They had some games and rides that the kids (and Tim, of course) really enjoyed and it was neat to see what things were like during that time period.

On Sunday, Tim gave me a scrapbook that he (and McClain) had been working on for my Mother's Day gift. He made every single bit of it on his own- cut and stained the wood, pieced in leather for the interior, attached hinges and a buckle for closing it, etc. It had pictures in it from when I was pregnant all the way to now. On the outside of the book, he even burnt the words "Happy First Mother's Day, Love Me and McClain" onto the wood. It was very impressive, and I know he put so much time into it. Next year, maybe McClain will be able to help out a little more which will be a great experience for them. After church, we went to lunch and the mall- thanks Tim, and McClain, for making my first mother's day so wonderful!
