Mother's Day 2014

There is nothing more special and more important in my life than my children, next to my husband, of course.  I love being a mother and I feel so blessed that God chose these particular two to be my kids.  It gets tough at times but even through those hard times I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.  They are my everything. 

A few days leading up to Mother's Day my son told me that he and my husband were going to make me breakfast in bed.  I really didn't expect it, especially since my husband is still recovering from double hip surgery.  But that's exactly what happened.  They were both up early and surprised me with coffee, french toast with blueberries and a yogurt parfait.  It was delicious. 

I even did something I don't normally do.  I curled my hair and wore a dress.  My husband couldn't take his eyes off me all day.  He loves when I curl my hair.  It's a lot of work but I would rather it be curly than straight anyway.  Before heading for church my husband snapped a few pictures of me and our children.

The Associate Pastor gave an incredible Mother's Day sermon that I wish everyone in the world could have heard.  It was so beautiful.  Then after church we had a little picnic lunch in our backyard, laid my daughter down for a nap and then had a barbecue at my parents' house.  My dad insisted on doing everything so my mother and I wouldn't have to lift a finger.  He's so sweet. 

It was a great Mother's Day.  Probably the best so far.  I am blessed!  Truly, deeply blessed. 

I love being a mother!
