Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day is a day that I have always found very sentimental. Just about everyone stops what they are doing and takes time out if their busy lives to honor their mamas. I love it! I am so thankful to have a mama that so sweetly and selflessly has taught me how to be and do many things that help me be a better mama! Not just anyone can handle the emotional, tired, stressed phone calls that I frequently place to her ;) I love you mama! 

It's an even more special day now that I'm able to share the day with the two little sweeties that made me a mama. I am so thankful to be blessed with the full time job of being their mommy! They make every day funnier, messier, and more full in every way. I'll have to pause to also brag on my sweet husband. Knowing that cinnamon rolls are my favorite breakfast, he stayed up until 2:00 am last night making them from scratch (watch out Martha Stewart!) and they were delicious! He also made Swiss crossaints to accompany them. Hello my dream breakfast!

He also surprised me with hanging baskets that I have been begging for to complete our front porch. Best kind of flowers yet 

Our church experience this morning was not as successful. Our children teamed up on us and decided that neither one would stay in their nursery class peacefully, so when we each ended up in the hall with a child, we decided watching it as a podcast this evening would be much more effective. We enjoyed lunch at a new burger place and a trip to Barnes and Noble. Most restful Mother's Day? Ummm well not so much, but blessed beyond what I could ever have imagined my third Mother's Day looking like!
