A perfect Mother's Day

"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." Agatha Christie, "The Last Seance"


Life is good. I am happy. I have two beautiful daughters, the most wonderful loving husband, and the sweetest four legged son I could ask for. My family spoiled me today. It was a perfect day!



The girls must have known it was Mother's Day because they slept in until 8:30am :)Randall surprised me with "Surprise Egg" for breakfast ... one of my childhood favorites which I have always talked about but I don't think we have ever actually had together. The girls loved it ... so this may need to become a family tradition :) After breakfast I got to open my presents. Besides the gift of my daughter's themselves, I think Randall gave me the most meaningful gift that I have ever received. He made a photo book documenting the reasons he believes that I am amazing wife and mother ... it was so touching and so fun to look back at photos from our 10+ years together ... I laughed and I cried. On top of that he also started a scrapbook where Kenzie and Lexi each drew me a picture for Mother's Day and he plans to have them add to it each year. I could not have asked for better gifts. I am so blessed :)



After the girls napped we went for a family walk to have lunch in Hyde Park Square and then went to visit Audra, Kyle & Maddie (& Moose of course). Maddie is so precious!

This Mother's Day was particularly special for me, because two of my dearest fiends became mothers this week and got to celebrate their very first Mother's Day! Both Audra and Becky shared the same more difficult path to motherhood with me and I cannot express the joy I feel for them. They are going to be the most wonderful mom's ... Maddie and Small Paul are so lucky!



Later that afternoon, we did some yard work and the girls played in the garden. Randall made a grilled vegetable and smoked mozarella pizza for dinner and we ate out on the back porch. Ahhhh heaven. It was the perfect day ... filled with family and sunshine.



I am so thankful to be a mother! And I am so grateful for having been celebrated today ... in a perfect way!
