Christmas 2009
Summer 2009Happy Mother's Day to the two mothers and grandmothers in our lives. Thanks for all you do and have done for us! We love you!
I'm still trying to figure out how my mom managed to sew most of our clothes (even Barbie doll clothes!), can & freeze vegetables from the garden, make quilts, iron all of our clothes (including dad's handkerchiefs), make most meals from sratch, be PTA president and the church pianist among many other things. She did all of that while raising 3 kids.
Liem's mom lived through a war, various refugee camps, learned a new language, assimilated into another culture and worked full time while raising 5 children (and other nephews and foster children). Just thinking about all of that makes my job seem pretty simple.

They didn't have the internet to distract them. While I'm joking, it's true. We spend a lot of time and emotional energy keeping up with everything in the minute. I heard recently that we get more new info in 24 hours than our parents got in a month (more I'd wager). Last, it's not the same level of do-or-die that our grandparents dealt with (thank goodness). But, you're right, they do seem to have accomplished a lot more than us, don't they?
