Blessed...

What makes Mother's Day special?  We put so much pressure on one day. Seems almost too much-or is it? Surprising my mom this week, in honor of Mother's Day, was so very fun. Cooking up the plan and scheming with Annabelle and Ted to make our surprise 'just right' was so much fun. I knew she would love it. What I didn't anticipate was the feeling I had in my heart when I watched her with my two babies. I was overwhelmed with love. The best gifts I've ever been given and could ever give were right there- sitting on her lap.

Tonight, I came in to my room to find surprises from Annabelle under my sheets and pillow. There were two folded pieces of paper and were both entitled, Annabelle's Book of Love For Mommy. Inside there were pictures of beautiful hearts. There was also a piece of art work that clearly took her quite a long time to make. It was so beautiful, it brought me to tears. I am so very blessed. I hugged Nick and thanked him for these precious gifts. They truly are the greatest gift in life. I am complete because of them. They move me in such inexplicable ways. I never would have understood the feelings that Motherhood has given to me. I am forever grateful to have been given this gift.
