The mother in this house…

Being a dad has its moments of challenge, but let’s be honest, being a mom (for the most part) takes a lot more work (unless you are a sea horse, I suppose, but that demographic hasn’t shown up on my Google Analytics report for the blog readers.)

When you marry someone, you think you know them.

Of course, that’s not really the case…it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I’ve learned A LOT about the NFO over the years, but if there were a “greatest hits” set of video clips of where her personality/character have come to their full radiance, it would be in her role as a mother.

The examples are countless…actually, they aren’t (12,321,979)…but I think the evidence of her hard work exists in the (ongoing) creation that is our children.

The things that I love so much about them can be traced back to her values, nurturing, and focused determination.*

Happy Mother’s Day, NFO!
