Today is my mother’s birthday. She is an amazing woman who has taught me to go for my dreams, be an independent thinker, and love the scientific world  among many other things. Watching my mother with the boys has been amazing. She took on the role of Nana and never looked back. She loves spending time with all four of her grandchildren. Nana gets on the floor to do puzzles, race cars, and will do anything for the boys. My mother was also the one who has met us way too many times to assist during emergencies with the kids.

The boys wanted to do something special for Nana until we see her later on today. Here they are:

Happy Birthday Mom! We love you and wish you a magical day filled with all of the things that you enjoy. May you have many more happy and healthy years ahead for all of us to make wonderful memories together.
