I like to be with you!

Today is Mother's Day. I like to think of this day as a celebration of God's blessings in my life. This is the day that I can celebrate the fact that God has allowed me the privilege to be a mom.

That fact is overwhelming.

I'm not a mom by traditional means, but I'm a mom none the less. God says he will give you the desires of your heart. I desired to be a mom and to have daughters. In His good grace, he has granted me that desire. He chose me to be a mom to 2 of the most incredible girls.

It's the day when I'm reminded of his faithfulness and grace.

Abby and Grace gave me a Mother's day card and on the inside of the card Abby wrote "I like to be with you." That's probably the best thing a daughter can say to her mom. Abby, I love to be with you too!
This is the card Abby brought home for me from preschool. It's a cute purse that you can open and it has a cute poem inside. She was so excited to have me open it that she gave it to me right away instead of waiting for Sunday.

This is one precious daughter! A true gift of grace. I love you baby!!

Can you believe Abby is four and a half. I've been a mom for over four years. It's been the best four years of my life. I love you sweetie!

We headed over to my brother's house for a Mother's Day dinner. It was a great dinner and the kids always play together so nicely. In fact, I had about 20 minutes when I didn't have a child on my lap or a little one wanting my attention. For 20 minutes I was able to just sit. Ahh....
