my Mom is really beautiful. And looks young for her age. And as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate her unique sense of style. She always stands out in a room of women, I'm sure in part due to the fact that she really is tall, she is 5'10, but mainly because she just has an amazing presence. How did my 5'3 self not luck out on any of that?
She came to be with me when I had Sebastian. Most people seemed a little shocked that I wanted her there in the room with me and not just around after he was born and I know I'm a grown woman myself but she is my Mom and she went though it herself 4 times and I don't know, I just feel better knowing she is there. Plus Mark says she keeps me calm. He has a little problem with blood and seeing me in pain so she helps him too.
Anyway, I don't know why but I didn't end up with any photogaphs of her and Sebastian at the hospital. I realized that the morning she had to leave so I hurried and set up a little photoshoot. Look at him smiling in his sleep. He already loves his Grandma.
I love her too!
Your mom is super! I think it's great that she is there for you and your babies.

What beautiful photos! And your mum is beautiful too. Her eyes are so engaging!
I'm doing Oh Shoot! with you at the moment, and I just want to let you know that you have more presence than you know!

You mom IS very beautiful and Sebastian is very handsome...what a lovely pair they make. And you may not have gotten her height, but you certainly inherited her beauty. What a blessing that she could come to be with you!

I got teary-eyed reading this. What a beautiful tribute to a special lady. And yes, she is beautiful. And kind. All the things a mother should be.

Your mother is beautiful, strong, and kind. You are more like her than you know.
And Sebastian is just a little doll.

No offense, but if there's a facebook like button, it'll be much easier for me to share.

You mom is very wonderful and Sebastian is very attractive...what a charming couple they create. And you may not have gotten her size, but you certainly passed down her elegance. What a advantage that she could come to be with you!
