Mother's Day


Even though Mother's Day isn't my favorite holiday, I enjoy spending it with my family. This year we had dinner with Doug's parents and then Rod & Stephaine dutch ovened dinner for both families that evening. It was a great day! It also gives me a chance to reflect on the greatest part of being a mother - my kids.
Reed Douglas Rockwood was born on January 29, 1985. He was a terrific baby and spoiled his parents. He rarely cried and was sleeping through the night at 3 months old. He has always been a good example of a big brother.

Rod Warren Rockwood was born on April 6, 1987. There was much excitement to welcome another boy into the family. From the start he was very determined to get what he wanted. This may have been one reason that he started moving in an untraditional way, scooting on his bottom, at 5 months old.


Daren John Rockwood joined the family on July 25, 1990. He was named to have the same initials as his father, "DJ" and had many nicknames. He was known as "Little DJ", Dare Bear, Bear, and Dare. He was the cutest little curly headed boy and always on the go. Maybe that prompted his early desire to walk at 9 months old.


Scott made the family complete on June 30, 1993. He was Mom's little sweetheart and was good as gold as long as Mom was in the room. He's always followed after his brothers wanting to do everything they do. He has also loved the farm and at an early age accompanied his dad to work and has been a big help there.


It's also a good opportunity to tell my mothers how much I love them!
