Mother's Day

 

Nothing brings me more joy than being a mother to these four darling children of ours. They know how to test my patience, and push my buttons on occasion, but they also know how to love fiercely, and help each other out. 

This Mother's Day Stephen and the kids made me feel so special. The two boys made me cards and coupons for me to use throughout the year. Lucas gave me a flower pot and breakfast in bed, and Hannah created a beautiful picture for me. Stephen put together a video of the kids answering questions about life and how they feel about their mom. I will cherish that video forever. But perhaps the most meaningful gesture was from my husband who shaved to a smooth face just for me before church. He hasn't done that since we got married. Even though he doesn't like having a close shave and it hurts his face for a few days afterward he did it just for me. I was really just reminding him to shave before church, but he went above and beyond. I am truly blessed with the best, most loving husband. I love our family and the life we have created together. I can't wait to see what the future holds. I love you.
