Come on, sis-thoe!

I miss my sisters.

At some point, you realize that you are nothing without the ones who love you with everything that they are.

All moms want peace on Earth...

My first Mother's Day left me quite spoiled :) Chris and Amelia set the bar pretty high for themselves this year.

I love my little family.

After about 6:30am, I woke up to this beside me (excuse the picture quality - my camera's been broken and has yet to be replaced and no, I didn't use Hli for her photography):

(She normally sleeps in her crib and then gets moved to our bed at like 6am if she's fussy - and yes, she's not in pj's - was dead asleep by the time we got home on Saturday night and I didn't want to wake her so she slept in what she was in all day :P )

And then this greeted me by my little kitchen:

And since Amelia was still sleeping on our bed, this was waiting for me on our dinner table (not going to count those calories):

& Chris even printed this picture (I've wanted it printed for awhile) and got me flowers:

and after church, Chris picked up Chipotle (yay!) for lunch, took me on a mini shopping spree (sans Amelia - Thanks Hli for babysitting!) and a movie (we opted to see Thor - and yes, I actually picked to see it over Something Borrowed) and then had fish tacos for dinner while we watched Amelia play when we got home.

Life is good.

I hope you moms (new & experienced) had an amazing day.

& of course, Mom... I love you. You taught me how to be kind and how to love other people regardless of who they are. & you taught me that this is what it is to know the heart of God. If I ever become 1/10 of the kind of mom you are, I know I would have done well.
