14 Years Old - 2009

May 19, 2009    My favorite Mother's Day present was from Troy.  I had dropped him and his friends off at the movies on the Friday before Mother's Day.  Then I was gone for awhile  when I got home there was a pretty crystal dish on the counter with a handwritten note "Happy Mother's Day from your almost favorite son, Troy."  I was very surprised.  It was so thoughtful of him to get me a gift. (believe me, with a family of boys it just doesn't happen that often)  He had gone to Dillard's after the movie and picked that out for me and bought it with his own money.  The dish is perfect for serving at parties.  In fact I used it on Mom's Day!  It was Troy's B-Day also.  14 years old!  (Mom's day and his birthday happening on the same day only happened two times in his life.  I treasure this crystal dish and one other that he gave to me at Christmas.  Such a good memory.)

Big Brother's Eagle Ceremony.  All the brothers (minus 2) posed in their uniforms. June 2009.
