Mother's Day

As I write I will try not to get too weepy but I already am! Sunday was my first official Mother's Day. As I went through the motions of the day, it seemed like a regular Sunday. That was until Juddy made me chocolate chip pancakes - my second favorite only to Mommer's chocolate chip waffles. Yes, my husband really made pancakes! I spent a quiet day with Reese & Gigi (Juddy's mom) while the boys were on the farm.

On the drive home yesterday I looked over at our beautiful little girl; the most precious gift I've ever been given. She's amazing. And she's challenging. But most of all she's the light of my life. I don't even know how to express the love that fills my heart. With every grin, every tear, every squeal of delight, I fall more in love. Why in the world was I entrusted with such a gift.

I guess my fears are common - am I doing the right things and will I be a good Mom? Only time will tell. I pray for patience and kindness and understanding every day. I pray that our little girl will know she is loved beyond measure. I pray that she will always be protected and never become ill. As a Mom you carry the weight of all these things and many more. However, with that weight comes unexplainable joy!

I'm thankful for our little girl, a precious gift that I will always treasure deep in my heart. Thank you Reese for blessing our lives!
