Mother’s Day 2017
Today I got to celebrate my SIXTH year of being a mom. While we were in the waiting stages of our first adoption, I knew this day would come at some point, but I had no idea when. I look at each one of these pictures, and know how special each one is. (And also, I told Kevin that I am going to be extremely sad when it comes time to take a Mothers Day picture, and both of my girls are too big to hold!)
Being a Mommy is one of my most precious titles, and I don’t take it for granted or take it lightly. I pray each day that I can be the mom that my girls need. I pray that I can teach them, and guide them, and along with Kevin, give them a godly foundation for them to build their lives on, just like Timothy’s mother and grandmother did for him.
“I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother, Lois, and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.”
– 2 Timothy 1:5
This morning, Kate woke me up with a poke in the arm, followed by a kiss. Then she stuck a card in my face and said “Happy Mother’s Day!” She was so proud of her “cursive” handwriting, which was really just writing in print without lifting the pen, but I’ll never tell her that!
These two girls are truly one of my biggest blessings. They are sweet, kind, funny, imaginative, CRAZY, a little bit wild, caring, and so very loving. I treasure (almost) every moment with them! Thank you, God, for letting me be their Mommy!
And on a different note, Kate has taken an interest in my camera and BEGS me to let her use it each time I pull it out. I’m not-so-secretly loving it. I think this girl has some talent, no? I may have to hire her!
