Happy Mother's Day!

To our Moms, Kelley and Renie,

Who taught us about patience, caring, and compassion,

who's unconditional love gave us the courage to be different and follow our own path,

(knowing they would always be behind us, every step of the way)

and who will soon be the most amazing Grandmothers (!) to our baby, We love you!

Happy Mother's Day! You mean the world to us.

Love,
