Question.




Does this lady look like a senior citizen to you?

I don't think so either. :-)

We celebrated my lovely Mom's birthday this past weekend. We spent the morning with my cousin's son's first birthday, saw my grandmother, and did a little shopping. Then, she, Dad, Jacob, and his friend Caroline, joined us Saturday afternoon for a little fun playing in the creek, looking for crawfish, building a dam, and splashing around. It was quite refreshing to be in that freezing water on a warm day. We had dinner afterward and enjoyed talking, eating, and listening to the AU game. I had to document her youthfulness in photos, and say what a treasure she is. Mom is a kind and encouraging woman of God, who has become a dearer friend to me as we have gotten older. She is also very wise and dependable - character traits that go back to her godliness I'm sure - and ones I would like to be known for as well.

Here are a few more photos from the creek and dinner.

Nope! She looks fabulous. And I think you may have inherited the youthful aging gene too!!!

My MIL has said multiple times that she thought your mom was your sister the first couple of times she saw her! I love your beautiful, young looking, skinny family!! And I echo above comments too!

It does amaze me how awsome your mom looks. How cool is it to have that passed down to you - beauty AND godliness?!
