Happy Mother's Day!

This clearly is a special day in so many ways.  First off I want to thank my mom because she literally is the most amazing mom ever!  We've shared a lot of smiles, laughter, happy tears, sad tears and even mad tears back when I was a teenager and I didn't know better but she did.  I love her so much and anyone who knows her would agree that it's a blessing to have her in your life.  Giving is one of her best qualities and I didn't think this was possible but she's become an even bigger giver now that she's a grandma!  She's AMAZING with Caleb and I absolutely adore watching them two together.  I love you mom!

I also want to say thank you to my mother-in-law Lea Ann.  You always hear stories about how people don't like their in-laws....well I have been blessed because I have never once thought that!  She is such a fabulous lady!  I honestly don't think I have ever seen her mad...she's ALWAYS smiling and I love that about her!!  Thanks La for being the best mother-in-law and being tied with my mom for the best grandma in the world!!

 

One year ago today we officially found out we were having a boy!!  We had the technician write down what we were having on a piece of paper and she put it in an envelope for us to open on Mother's Day.  We waited until about 12:10am on Mother's Day to open it.  It was such a fun little surprise and it's amazing how back then I had no idea what he looked like or what his personality was but he's here today and we're having oh so much fun!  I LOVE being a mother, it's the best "job" in the whole world and God could not have blessed us with a better son.  I love you buddy!

Lastly, my heart is extra warm and sensitive to those who have lost a mother or to any mom who has lost a child.  I pray God's peace, comfort and strength over you.  Happy Mother's Day to every mom out there...you truly are a gift from God!
