Happy Mother's Day!

check out the beautiful flowers that my sweet brother, craig, and his wife, marla, sent to me for my first mother's day :) that really made my day! thanks craigery and marley!! y'all are good peeps! i know that i can't really be celebrated as a mother the way other mom's who have put years of service into raising their children are celebrated, but i'm so looking forward to what lies ahead! our little guy has changed my life forever in making me a mom and even though right now he's just wiggling around in my tummy and i'm doing my best to keep him healthy, one day he'll be walking around, then he'll learn how to talk, he'll go to school, go to college and hopefully get married one day and have little one's of his own...what an adventure we have laid out in front of us thanks to God's hand in blessing us with this little one. while he's wiggling around today, i just want to hug him and tell him how much i love him and how happy i am to be his mommy :)

happy mother's day to my mom and grandmother, too! they are two women who have really given years of time, energy, and love into mothering their children. i wish i could get to see you both today :) i'll get to see mom in just a couple weeks when we go to the beach over memorial day! we'll have to continue mother's day celebrations then :)

and happy mother's day to mama jeannie and nana! i'm so blessed to have you in my life and be able to call you mom and nana, too :) thank you for the love you put into your son/grandson's life, who is the love of my life. i know part of the reason he is so good to me is thanks to your examples and your nuturing.

happy mother's day to all of the mommies out there, whether your journey is just about to begin or you are on to your years as a grandmother or great-grandmother!
