Happy Mother's Day

The other day Susan gave me a quick glimpse into the multifaceted nature of being a mom when she said "a mom is someone who can be tugged, bugged, and hugged all at the same time." For most men, who struggle to do one thing at a time, this level of multitasking is difficult to understand.

With that in mind, I would like to thank all of the mothers in our family for the wonderful things that you do. We appreciate your patience; marvel at how you instinctively know what a child needs; and appreciate your ability to look after everyone's well being -- usually before your own.

Thank you Mom for not laughing too hard before you spanked Monica and I for playing darts inside the house with rocks from the driveway. Thank you Marisue for always helping us make our house a home. Barbara, thank you for all those meals you cook for 25 at the cottage - a tough job to be sure.

Thank you Lizzy, Monica, Lisa and Liz for being great mothers. Thank you to Evangeline for bringing little Skylar into the world and being such a great mother. We love you all.

In commemoration of this day and one very special mom, Hannah and I put together the following video:



We love you Susan.
