Mother's Day

I'm so glad that there is a special day set aside for Mother's. Yes we should be thankful for our mom's everyday,which I know I am, but it's nice to have a day to honor the woman who really has set aside everything to help us grow. I now see my mom in a whole new light. I realize the selflessness that she learned and has for my brothers and I. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by all it takes to be a mom. Coy and I were hanging out this weekend.. it seems like that hasn't happened in awhile and he was saying.. it's so funny.. when Luke's asleep it's like.. quick..see how much you can get done. Yes.. the world of parenting. Then most everyday I find myself choked up and welled up with tears at some point. Let's see the things that have caused me to choke up today... talking to Luke and having him give me the biggest smiles, yesterday I saw a teenage boy wrap his big lanky arm around his mom in church, having Luke lay his head on my shoulder and sigh... just like he is saying.."this is just what I needed" and me trying not to squeeze him too tight and reminding myself that he really is mine forever. Ahhh life is full of so many neat moments.
I did not get a card from my husband,but there were so many awesome moments throughout the day that no "thing" could have been as precious as. I bought a onesie for Luke that said Mommy's Little Prince and that was like a card from him. I told Coy it would be nice to go for a picnic in quaint little Wash Park.. It is a beautiul park here with a pond. It was a gorgeous day and we went there. Coy made a little shady spot for Luke to lay and the three of us just watched people and hung out. It was wonderful. We then strolled around the pond to see Geese and baby gosslings. It was just like the day was from a movie. It was a great first Mother's Day! If you're a mom.. and momma if you're reading I hope your day was really special. There are just not enough words to express what you mean to me!!!
