Happy Mother's Day!

Probably should have done this post last night as opposed to two hours before Mother's Day ends.

Curtis and I are both grateful for the wonderful mothers we have as well as the women we know who are amazing mothers (read sisters, sister-in-laws, cousins, friends, grandmothers, aunts... etc). In the past couple months we have been able to spend time with my mom twice and, because Curt's parents live in Alpine, we get to see his mom quite often.

We appreciate our moms for so many reasons and I think that appreciation becomes even greater as we get older (I know there will be a dramatic increase in gratitude when we start having our own kids!)  Both our mothers are very selfless, hardworking, intelligent, funny, generous, and spiritual women.

A little about the two beautiful women above:

Colleen Philipp -

• After a lot of hard work, recently received a principalship at Northridge Elementary
• Wonderful mother of six
• Loving wife, mother, and "Nana"
• Hardworking and always willing to help

Joan Lambert - 

• Former chemist and current registered nurse at Sutter Memorial
• Night owl and early bird :)
• Willing to do what it takes to succeed
• Proud mother of 5 and grandmother of 1 (little Taylor Tots)

Curtis and I are lucky to have these women in our life. They have taught us a lot and continue to give great advice. Thanks Colleen and Joan (as well as all other selfless mothers out there!) We love you!
