My Mother-in-Law

February 20 is my sweet mother-in-law, Carol's, birthday. Today, I would like to honor her. Besides the fact that she is mother to my husband and obviously did an amazing job, Carol has become a cherished friend and mentor. I am so thankful for our relationship.

Carol is an amazing grandmother. My children adore her. She learned that Sam loves to play games, so she plays games with him. She learned that Silas likes to eat donuts, so she gets him donuts. She learned that Selah loves playing princesses and Carol can often be found playing pretend with her.

I appreciate the fact that Carol raised Jeff to be so hard-working and reliable. These are some of my favorite qualities in Jeff and I know they were instilled by his parents.

I take my last name very seriously. It is my desire to live up to it's heritage and the example that others who bear this name have set for me.

Thank you, Carol, for putting up with me. Thank you for Jeff. And thank you for the amazing woman that you are!
