Mother’s Day 2024

We had a breathtaking start to the weekend, as we were able to see the Northern Lights in Virginia. I think this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I saw a post on Facebook from a friend who lived nearby, and I grabbed Trevor and ran outside. 

These pictures are from his camera. The colors weren't this vivid, but a camera sees more light than the human eye. I went in and got Holly so she could watch. It was just stunning, so magnificent, so BIG. Words cannot describe seeing it in person. God's handiwork, absolutely amazing.

 More beauty in the sky on Saturday following the rain.

Trevor made lattes for me each morning. Homemade always feels quite indulgent!

Holly and I opened gifts.

Holly, Trevor (and Sariyah) and I walked the Cherry Blossom Trail. And got Dairy Queen on the way home!

Trevor indulged me with Mario Kart, and later we joined forces for dinner, making spring rolls and kung pao noodles. The noodles were intended to be just a filler side dish,  but they were delicious, worthy of a main dish.

I love my people so much. It was a wonderful weekend. I've said it before, most days are like Mother's Day around here, and this was an especially sweet weekend.
