Happy Mother's day

I am so blessed to be the mama to to these two kids. I took them to the zoo on Thursday as the new polar bear exhibit opened. I had a wonderful Mother's day with my family. We went to church, had brunch and then planted some flowers and then I got a great gift from my hubby-a gift card to Pottery Barn to buy some things for our home. As joyful as I am that I get to be a mommy I can't imagine the loss others feel today as they wait for their chance or they mourn the loss of a child. I pray that they felt God holding them close today and I pray that they will soon recieve the gift they have been so longing for.

I am so grateful for my Mom and MIL as well. I have a wonderful relationship with each and they are so helpful to me as I raise their grandkids. I would also be remiss if I didn't give my wonderful hubby a shout out. He really is such a great partner in this journey of parenthood. Thank you Lord for the privilege of motherhood!!

The Mommy Card

I just recieved these in the mail today. They are technically calling/business cards but since I am in the business of being a mommy, I call them my Mommy cards. It has my Name and monogram on front with my official title of Abby and Will's mom. On the back I had printed my home and cell number as well as my email. They also came in a cute pink and white polka dot tin that matches. I can't wait to pass my first one out. I love all the cool things I have found on etsy.com. God did not supply me with the gift of craftiness but I am happy to support that gift in others. Hope you all check out the mommy card sight and spend time checking out some other great finds as well.

Will's new bed

Well this is the second night that our little Will has created a new little bed for himself. He lays down a blanket on his rug, brings over the bedside table lamp and goes to sleep. As I was taking the above picture the following happened:



The flash must have awakened my sweet tired boy and he stood right up. I asked him if he wanted to get back in his bed and he did this:



He must have needed some time to think about it and ended up in the bed of his choice:


So tonight as I head to bed I will again gently pick up my sweet boy and place him in the bed that I think is probably the most comfortable one in the whole house. When I spoke with Will this morning about him falling asleep on the floor last night he looked at me in shock and said "How did you know that?". Oh this little boy never ceases to make me laugh. Thankyou for the blessing of both my children Lord. Thank you that they warm my heart with each day despite the frustrations that sometimes come with motherhood. May our lives warm your heart Lord and bring you glory as we strive to be the children you have hoped and known we could always be.
