From Mother's Day 2010

Well, I'm going to be playing catch up again, and here's the first of many pictures and posts to make! I like to get a picture with my girls for Mother's Day. Last year I was looking much more trim, but then again, I am about 5 months pregnant in these pictures. I love being a mother to my beautiful daughters, they truly bring me great joy in my life. They teach me about love and patience daily, which is something I need. Being a mother may not always be glamorous, but it is indeed fulfilling and rewarding. I feel so blessed to be a mother!





This is last year's Mother's Day photo, and I can't believe how much my girls have changed! Amy actually has hair for one, but they both have gone from toddlers to little girls-- oh my heart! So bittersweet to see them grow so much!



It was a wonderful day. Adelynne helped Dustin make me a homemade card with "flowers" (really weeds) that she had picked earlier in the week and they pressed in a book. Adelynne also made me a ceramic oval with impressions of flowers and leaves pressed into it that is painted purple-- she made it at her preschool. We had a wonderful dinner of pancakes and fresh fruit with our friends, the Aagards. I just had a great time chatting with Mary while the husbands watched over the children playing. It couldn't have been a better day!
