Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! For many years this day brought me sadness as I longed to be a mommy. However, this Mother's Day, I am filled with such joy as I get to celebrate being Caden's mommy! I thank God every single day for the gift He has given me, but am especially grateful today. What an honor and privilege to be "mommy" to my sweet boy. I took some time to pray for my friends who are still waiting to be mommies.

Yesterday, I met my mom and sister's at Panzons for lunch then went across the street to my church for a Mother/Daughter Tea.  We had a great time doing both.
What a special day to celebrate and reflect on the blessings we enjoy. My mom has taught me so much about being a mommy and continues to come alongside me and help me.  She doesn't hesitate to drop what she's doing and come help me or go to a last minute doctor's appointment, or just text me words of encouragement.  Besides all that, she's a great GiGi! It was also sweet to celebrate with my sister, who is mommy to Owen and is due with a baby girl this summer.  It's been great to have little ones close in age!

Last night my boys took me to dinner and let me choose the place.  The weather was beautiful, so I chose the patio at Yard House.  I didn't cook a single meal yesterday or today! That's a gift in and of itself.  Then Mitch cleaned the whole kitchen today, which was a disaster :) They had the idea of getting me a locket for Mother's Day and I've been looking online to chose the one I like best.

Tonight we had dinner at Mitch's parent's house to celebrate with his mom.  She is also very supportive and willing to do whatever we need.  I am blessed to have Debbie as my mother-in-law, and Grandma to Caden. Michael and Aimee joined us and the guys grilled burgers for dinner.


I thought it would be fun to post some pictures from last year on Mother's Day, too!






Megan and I realized after the fact that the dress she's wearing this year is the dress I was wearing last year.  The capris I'm wearing this year, she was wearing last year.  We've traded places with due dates being 1 day apart :)
