Return to Pooh Corner

For Mother's Day my brothers Conn & Shane, and sister Erin made a CD of songs. This is something that my mom has always wanted from us kids, a CD of songs sung by us. So, we did our best to make this happen. But as it is with big families and due to scheduling conflicts and some living outside Utah, etc...we weren't able to get everyone on it - including myself; I was taking family pictures (see previous post).

Needless to say, there were plenty of tissue going around as we all presented the CD to our Mom on Mother's Day. As soon as she heard "Return to Pooh Corner" playing she exclaimed, "this is my favorite song!", and then realized it wasn't Kenny Loggins singing, but Conn. This is where the tissue came in handy as she burst into tears. The next verse was sung by Erin and Conn and then as she heard her grandkids, Owen & Aidan, laughing in the background the tears flowed even more. It seemed fitting for Shane to finish off in the last verse considering his boys were the ones laughing in the background. All in all they did an amazing job!!



This particular song, "return to pooh corner" has been a favorite of my mom's since Kenny Loggins put it out on CD.

You can listen to the song on my playist to the right, "Return to Pooh Corner--Conn, Erin, Shane" Or you can listen to it here on Sharon's playlist.
