Happy Birthday Mama Schuurman!

     Today is Mama Schuurman's 29th (wink, wink) birthday!  This post is dedicated to her!  We are so blessed to call her mama because there is no one with a more generous heart that her.  She constantly sends us packages with little goodies in them and has successfully clothed Marcus since birth. She is a devoted wife of MANY years, mother of boys (that's enough right there), and an amazing grandma to four grandchildren.  Not only that, but she's still plays a huge role in caring for her mother who will be 90 in January.  This woman is a jack of all trades!  She cooks, helps out at the greenhouses, and can cross-stitch with the best of them!  She has a huge heart for her family and that's obvious to all. 
     Mama Schuurman we LOVE YOU and hope this has been one of your best birthdays yet.  We look forward to seeing you and the rest of the family in a few weeks.  We especially look forward to Marcus playing with you and Grandpa, and making him laugh like you did before.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This was the first time she ever held Marcus.

Can you see the JOY in her eyes?!

Three grandchildren at the time, but Alyssa was born about a week later.

Sweet laughter

Reading to Marcus - a treasured time for them both
