Heather Brockway--nominated by Laurie. Below is the winning entry. I look forward to showing you all pictures from this session. Congratulations Heather! PS I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine today!!! I hope Spring will be here soon.
"I would like to nominate Heather Brockway. Heather has 7 children ages 21 to 3. She is an amazing woman. All of the children are involved in sports or other activities and she manages to get to everything somehow! Her house is always neat and orderly and she can have 10 different things going at once, but her children are definitely her top priority.
Heather can be in the middle of making dinner and when she has a moment that she can break away, she will stop and play a game with the kids. I have witnessed this several times and I am in awe of how she manages to do it.
She makes each of her children feel so special, as if they were the only one. The love that the children have for each other says so much about the love that she and her husband have shown to their children. All the children respect their parents and each other so much.
There are so many things that they all do together as a family and they all enjoy it! They love the simple things in life and they have fun with everything they do, whether it is putting together a puzzle or going to visit friends and relatives.
Now this is the part that makes me cry. I appreciate so much what they have done for my niece, Sarah. Sarah's mom died when she was 9 and her dad remarried and then divorced a few years ago. Sarah had no place to live after the divorce. She was dating Heather's oldest son, Greg who is the most amazing young man in the world. They took Sarah in and made their home, her home. Each one of the kids loves her like she is a sister. And she loves and cares about each one like they were her very own family.
I am so grateful to them for all they have done. It can't be easy to have a house full to the brim with children and still find room to take in another. Sarah is treated like one of their own children in every way. Heather does her laundry, has birthday parties for her, and the list goes on and on. And the best part is that Sarah and Greg are now engaged and so Sarah will have them all in her life forever!
I could go on for a long time about what a great job Heather has done as a mom. She makes me feel like a real whimp, having only one child!"
