Happy Labor Day!

To all you Mother's out there in all your many forms - Moms, Grandmas, Stepmoms, Aunts, Teachers, etc. - here is a quote I copied from Sarah at Clover Lane

No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard

 or as responsible 

as the work of a woman 

who is bringing up a family of small children; 

for upon her time and strength demands

 are made not only every hour of the day 

but often every hour of the night.

Theodore Roosevelt

My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law came this weekend to celebrate David's birthday.  Their gift to him was service.  They labored night and day all weekend long, and I feel like I live in a new house.  Thanks so much to them and all those in our lives who have labored for us and supported us through thick and thin.  We feel truly blessed.
