I'm sure that like all families, the Bowen family woke up this morning with thoughts about our wonderful mothers. They are both thousands of miles away, but the influence they have on us makes them always feel close.
Jon's mom, Diane, is the mother of 10 kids - 6 boys and 4 girls. Jon is the 8th. She raised children in her home for 45 years! That is a long time to be caring for children on a daily basis. Plus, Diane has been known to always have other's children in her home too. She is loving, kind, tender, giving, selfless, and beautiful. She makes beautiful quilts and lovingly gives them away to all those around her. She has 21 (almost 22) grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. We are proud that Lindsey's middle name is Diane! We love you Grandma Bowen!
My mom, Corinne, is the mother of 5 kids - 2 girls and 3 boys. She has 4 (almost 5) grandchildren. She is a great example of motherhood and has always given so much time and service for her kids. She is also a beautiful quilter and master Halloween-costume-maker. She is thoughtful, generous, beautiful, strong and fun. We are proud that Emily's middle name is Corinne! We love you Grandma Sorenson!
We are so blessed to have 2 wonderful mothers who continue to set such great examples for us! We love you and miss you and can't wait to see you again (we hope soon)! We all hope to be more like you!
