Happy Birthday Mom, From My Kids

Happy Birthday Mom!

Since this blog was started Joelle has written a special message to each of her kids on their birthdays. This year the kids wrote a message for her. They answered some questions about their mom and I have to say their responses are very entertaining! They are good, funny kids and quick witted like their mom. Over the last few years that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing them, they have become more caring, funny and mature. I love them more each day. They are growing into pretty decent people thanks to a pretty decent mom. Happy Birthday Joelle!
