Don and I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to Don's Mom, Linda!

Mom, we wish we could celebrate this day with you at your favorite restaurant (El Burro) but this post will have to do this year. I thought that if we can't be there with you, at least we can bring you a couple of pictures of two people you miss a lot, and who wouldn't be here if not for you!

Enjoy scrolling through the following pictures of Donnie and Karin. I found an amusing collection of Don's infamous way of smiling for the camera I thought you would appreciate. At least in most of them he has hair. (sigh...)I miss those days.



We love you,

Donnie & Robin

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

This post is for my Mom. It's hard being so far away from family on the days set apart to honor and celebrate them. It doesn't get any easier after several years either. Phone calls are wonderful and I looked forward to each conversation, but it always feels like we are always catching up with each other. I'd love to not have anything to catch up on!

My Mom really is my best friend. She is my confidant, my encourager and my "hiney kicker" when I need it. She is my earthly example of compassion, genuine love and kindness. I am so proud to be her daughter and friend.

Mom, thank you for living out God's love for me. I love you.
