Happy First Mother's Day Ruth!

1 month and 8 days ago my sister Ruth gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. Welcome Soleil, you have brightened our world!

Today is Ruth's first Mother's Day as a mom. In honor of her first Mother's Day, I started this blog. I will be regularly posting pictures, stories, and more to celebrate the lives of Soleil, Ruth, and Keaton; a family blooming.

Mother's day has been difficult since the loss of our mother, Patricia Butler. But with the arrival of Evan and now Soleil, we have such happy things to celebrate! Mom would be so proud to see her daughters as mothers and meet her darling grandchildren. Happy Mother's Day Ruth, Kendra, and Mom. This is your song...

  1. Oooohhhh! I've got chills! Thank you so much, Audrey! The video is absolutely beautiful, and I will be watching it many, many times. I love this tribute to all mothers and the reminder it gives me that I am a part of a long and connected chain.

    It's great to be a mom!!

  3. Yes, welcome, Soleil. You are here! I love you, Soleil. I can hardly wait to hold you in my arms for the first time.
    Yes, congratulations, Ruth. Yay!
    The photo of you--Keaton, Soleil, and Ruth--gives a treasured, uniquely wonderful, and individuated moment in your lives. So beautiful. I love the three of you very much.
