Sarah said...: Isn't it precious! I got a picture of my youngest son who HAD to put on his not quite grown into suit jacket to wear to church. Looked at himself in the mirror and said, "yeah, I look good". and then brought me his homemade card. He asked me cautiously if I would like it he made mistakes. I said I will love everything about it and he smiled so big! My best Mother's Day moment to date!! :); May 11, 2009 at 1:01 PM
