mother's day

Mother's Day is a pretty special one for me.

When you spend every waking moment (and a lot of not-so-awake ones) doing something, you want to be good at it. I pray everyday that I can have the energy, patience, and spiritual guidance to be the best mom that I can be for that day. And then I take it one day at a time. I am not a perfect person or perfect mom AT ALL but I can say that I love it. I love and cherish being trusted to be a mother. It is a fulfillment of my dreams and I would have it no other way.

I also truly love and admire my own mother and my mother in law. They are both incredible women and deserve extra love and praise always. Their sincerity and constant concern and interest bless my life on a daily basis.

Mother's Day for me is a day of rest, reflection, and getting out of doing the dishes. It was also a day of:

 sleeping in, breakfast in bed, cards, flowers, Paul making me dinner, getting some time to write my kids their special letters, going to church, and of course savoring the moments with these two:

 Miss Caitlin is my spunky little girl that is everything I could have hoped for and everything I deserve all rolled into one irresistibly cute package. I love being her mom. 

 Nolan Man is my big blue eyed boy that I fall more in love with every day! He has such a gentle soul and is so sweet and happy. I love being his mom.
