Mother's Day 2010

Well this post is a day late, but Happy Mother's Day! I count being a mother as the greatest blessing in my life. I really feel like of all my roles, being a mother is where I am most in my element. I am not saying I'm perfect...(far from it in fact!) but I get so much joy from being Ayden's mom, and I pray everyday that I am doing my very best raising him. Of course there are challenges, but honestly even in the middle of taming a temper tantrum or cleaning peanut butter off the walls, I feel a sense of fulfillment I never knew until I had him. Before I got pregnant this time, I knew I wanted more children but didn't quite understand how more love would fit inside my heart...but now as I feel little Ethan kick inside me, I am already overwhelmingly in love with him and I understand the concept of love multiplying! I absolutely cannot wait to see my 2 boys grow up together! I am also so blessed to have such a loving husband who is so incredibly involved in raising our family. And last but not least, I am forever thankful that God gave me such a loving mother who is now an amazing Memaw! In fact Ayden is surrounded with loving grandmothers and great-grandmothers and it makes my heart so full to see how much they all love him. I wish they could all see him more, but I know everytime he sees them he is making wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

I had a great day with wonderful cards, flowers, gifts, and time with family. I hope all the other mothers out there had a great day too!
