Mother's Day

Well, I accidentally published this post before I did all the journaling for it! OOPs!

Mother's Day morning was wonderful. I had breakfast in bed (with a baby and a preschooler joining me :) Christian gave me one of those recordable card - LOVE IT- and he also gave me flowers and an umbrella. Last week it rained for days and I could never find my umbrella, so my observant little boy told his daddy that I needed one. I love it that he knew the perfect gift to give me. I took the picture ABOVE^ while we were at church. Christian recorded a special message for me that they included in a video of during the service. And I took a picture of the video screen (don't worry I didn't use my flash, so no one knew I took a picture during church). Our church had a video camera set up this past week and you could come to church and record a message for your mom. It was a sweet idea.
After lunch at McDonalds (I know we really live it up for Mother's Day) we headed to the park. Christian is terrified about riding his bike. It's ridiculous, especially since his cousin Adam (who is younger than Christian) already took his training wheels off. Anyway, Christian has a genuine fear of his bike and we knew it was something we had to work on. So we packed up his bike and took it to the park hoping that a change of scenery would inspire him to want to ride. I guess I should also mention that we did bribe him with ice cream too! But he got his ice cream because he did a great job and when we got home he rode his bike all the way over to Aunt Amy's house.


The little boy who made me a mommy!

I love that look on her face!

I stuck this picture in here just to see if any of you know what these are?? I grew up playing in the woods with this particular plant and had fun teaching Christian about them.

My favorite picture from the day. Isn't that forest gorgeous behind them? Mother's Day was absolute perfection this year!!
