Mother's Day

I wanted to post about my Mother's Day and just basically say how thankful I am for my son, my husband and baby on the way.

Mike got up with Grant yesterday morning and let me sleep in a little.... not that this is unusual. Mike is such an early riser (I am not) that most weekend mornings or really anytime that he doesn't have to go in to work early, he gets Grant up in the morning. These mornings are always glorious for me. Anyway, since I've been pregnant I've had cravings for doughnuts in the morning, although I haven't eaten them much because I feel guilty. So, I woke up to fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts, which were served to me in bed. Grant was walking behind Mike as they entered my room holding 2 cards in his little hands. The cards were both very sweet and Mike's card had little gift certificates that he had personally made such as... giving me a Saturday all to myself, cleaning bathrooms, doing laundry, making dinner (with dessert included!) Very nice. Mike also bought me a beautiful orchid corsage to wear to church, which I did. I wanted to get some pictures of Grant and I after church so we stopped by a pretty place in our neighborhood and got the camera out. As soon as I picked Grant up for the picture he pitched a fit and didn't want to be held, ripped off my corsage and then once he calmed down a bit, Mike tried to take the picture but the camera batteries had died. Go figure. So, no sweet Mother's Day picture like I wanted. We went home and grabbed a bite to eat before heading off to Lily's 1st birthday party. We had a fun afternoon with our close friends and good food.

My Mother's Day was most special just knowing that God has blessed me with the gift of being a mother. I couldn't imagine anything else I'd like to be in my life.
