Dearest Children~

I am still in shock over the very nice surprises you pulled on me yesterday; I still don't know how you managed to keep it all a secret!

First of all, I want to thank you for the very lovely letter, all the lovely handmade cards, the flowers, and the lovely dinner at the Golden Corral yesterday. I also want to thank you for the beautiful time we had out at church and at the Mother's Day celebration at Centennial Park, and for just being my children. God has blessed me beyond measure when He brought you all into the lives of myself and your father, and I am indeed grateful!

Just having our two newest Miracle Children, Arjun and Rani, made it even more memorable, and I am grateful to see that they are settling into "the family routine" so smoothly! You guys have been a very big help in the adjustment period, and you have gone beyond and above the call of duty to ensure a smooth transition for your newest two siblings! Thank you for making my job as mama so much easier, and thank you for just being YOURSELVES! I wish more mothers could be so fortunate as I am; I am truly honored to be your mother, and I just wanted to write to you to tell you how much I love and appreciate each and every one of you!

I love you beyond infinity, and the love I have for each and every one of you reaches higher than the stars of Heaven. I wish you could know just how much I DO love you; the love I have for you is priceless, and I only hope that I can be the mother you want me to be! You are all my pride and joy, and I just wanted to say thank you for the bottom of my heart!

God bless each and every one of you mightily, and may you know His sweet Blessings upon your lives!

(((HUGS))) and much love,

As always, your Mama, Louisiana. :)
