This is the Mother's Day gift that Hannah made for me at school. She painted the entire pot by herself and chose the koala bear stamp to decorate. Cute, huh? I can't believe Mother's Day is here already. Although this isn't my first one, it feels different this year because I'm now a Mother of TWO little blondes. Being a Mom is often a thankless job...but as Mom, I have so much to be thankFUL for! My children are strong, beautiful and brilliant...and I'm constantly aware of how lucky I am to be able to stay home with them. I wouldn't trade my day job for anything. My days (and nights) are often a blur of whining, stinky diapers, and mountains of laundry...but then I stop and think about the big picture. These are the days. The days that I will always remember with fondness...the days when my children were small and needed me more than anyone else. The days when our family was young and just beginning to figure things out. The dirty dishes and laundry..the peanut butter smudges on my carpet...the feeling of sometimes being overwhelmed and overloaded. Those are all things I know will fade away with time. The things that stick will be the look of total joy and excitement on Hannah's face during her first circus show, or the time the girls were taking a bath together and Sadie ripped one...and we all died laughing. Of course, Sadie might not think it's too funny when she's an adult and we bring that one up...but nonetheless!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms in my life! I'm so glad I get to spend Sunday with my own Mom, too!! I love family brunches :)
I've been trying to get a good shot of Sadie's 4 top teeth...this one kind of shows the top front and bottom front. She's so gorgeous.
