I really love Mother's day. Not just because of the flowers, the cute cards, the yummy meals, and all the awesome handmade things from the kids (thanks to their daycare and Emma's church class for most of that), but because it reminds me of how lucky I am to be a mom. It's the only thing I ever wanted to do. I have to give it to Josh though, because he has never let me down on Mother's Day. He's made it a special day every year, starting with my first Mother's Day when I was 7 months pregnant with Emma. From start to finish he makes it all about me. Okay, except for a few hours when the Giants are on. Luckily we record that and he fast forwards when the other team is up so it doesn't take all that much time away. And of course he says throughout, "I can turn this off if you want" with sad puppy dog eyes. But after starting the day with breakfast in bed I'm in a great mood and so of course I say "No babe, it's fine" Yesterday we stuck with what we normally do, and had a barbecue after church for our moms. Josh did all the cooking, with just a little help on the salad , and the rest of us hung out outside and watch the kids play. It does not escape me how last year I had a 2 month old baby and now here is he walking , almost running around and can go up and down the slide on his own, and get around on a bike (not with pedals yet of course) and keep up with Emma for the most part. I know that these years will continue to fly by, so I want to take every moment I can to just take a mental picture of how they are now. I also took real pictures and some video which helps as well.
Thank you my sweet children for making me a mother!

What great pictures, they are such cute kids. I'm glad you had such a good day and that Josh spoiled you.
