Mother's Day 2013

I had a great Mother's Day!  The only thing I would change about Mother's Day is that it be celebrated on a day other than Sunday!  Sundays at our house are hectic!  However, we did not have any activities at church Sunday nt so we did have a long relaxing afternoon.  My only requests each yr is that A and the girls cook.  A insists that I choose the meal and then he takes care of it.  They really do know how to treat me special and that is worth more than anything to me!  I always think of how blessed I am on Mother's Day.  I have a husband who loves me and shows that to me every day, not just one day a year.  He appreciates me as a mother and he tells me on a regular basis.  I have 4 girls who I think are beyond amazing!   I read or hear people say they are proud to have healthy kids and I know what they mean and they should acknowledge that as something to be proud of.  I can say that mostly but not completely.  I am thankful that God gave me my girls just the way they are!  I am blessed to celebrate with not only my girls but their Daddy and we actually enjoy our time together.  I know that everyone can not say that.  Mother's Day is always a little tough for me because we are not with our families but I do have SO MUCH to be thankful for on Mother's Day including that both our Mother's are still here and we can call them and talk to them even if we can't be with them. 

My first Mother's Day Elleigh was 4 days old.  I wasn't sure what mothering was all about.  Much has changed as I celebrated my 17th Mother's Day!  I can say for sure that on that 1st Mother's Day I certainly didn't think one day I would be taking a picture with my 4 daughters!  My heart is so full just saying that!!!  Praise God for giving me 4 daughters!!!!
