Being A Mommy
How could I ask for more today?! Today we celebrate “my” Mother’s Day! Yes, it is a week early. The thing is, God has totally come through..but of course!.. And how could I expect anything less?
Next weekend on May 7, 8 and 9, I have my reservation for my 3 day silent retreat. I am really looking forward to it. I don’t truly know what to expect.. the only sure thing I do expect is that I will be completely alone with God.. so for that I am very excited.
Lindsey, Brooke and Chase are being so gracious to celebrate me today instead of next weekend. Lindsey and Brooke already spent the morning making me Mother’s Day cards before we went to church. And this morning I woke up with the cutest, cuddliest baby boy in the world, wrapping his little arms around me.. stroking my face. He pulled my face to his with his little hands and kissed me so gently on the lips and said, “Mommy?” I said, “yes?” “When I grow up, I want to marry you.” Talk about a way to a mother’s heart. I said, “will you make a good husband?” He said, “yes, but today I want to go fishing with Daddy, Ok?” He is so funny to me.
After church service, we all had a very relaxing and fun time at Jason’s Deli. My family brings me so much joy on days like today.

Then I got to spend the afternoon reading and writing. Then they surprised me with gifts. I just love them. So, I step out of my room and there is this cute note on the floor that says, "You are going to be srprisd!" Then i go to the kitchen and the three of them pop out from hiding saying, "surprise!" There on the table was a bowl of colorful paper flowers they handmade for me, more mother's day cards (INCLUDING a card from the dog) and a "gift bag" (actually a brown paper sack) with a small stuffed toy that belonged to Brooke, a dollar and a white rock. And if that wasn't enough!!! They even made a huge bowl of strawberry jello for me. This is one of the best Mother's day I've ever had. It's the first time they all worked together with their cute little minds to show mommy love. Wow. I'm blessed beyond measure!
Sweet, Sweet, So Sweet! I love it! your kiddos are so sweet!
