Mother's Day

Being a mother is such a blessing.  I can honestly say that I couldn't wait to be one (but was thankful to have a little married time together first!)  When we were blessed with Hannah, it was so special and certainly a love felt like no other. I had always wondered if there was any more room to love another child.  Then along came Noah.  My heart just made room for one more.  What an amazing thing!!  

I am so thankful that God has given me two beautiful, healthy, and happy children to love and adore. So thankful for John to share this parenting journey with. Our family has been forever changed for the better.  

A huge part of this day belongs to my own mother, without her I wouldn't be here today.  She is an amazing mother, grandmother, and friend.  She has taught me how to love, nurture, teach, respect, forgive, and believe in my own children through her ways.  She is an inspiration and role model.  I hope my children will one day love and admire me as much as I love her.  

My Mother's Day was spent relaxing and spending an uneventful day with my kids and husband - just want I wanted!  We played outside, enjoyed the warm sunshine, and bubbles.  John grilled some yummy steaks on the grill.  We capped off the night by walking to the ice cream store and taking a trip to the park on the walk back home.  It was a perfect, simple day.  These are the days I will always remember.
