I have often heard children referred to as the jewels in your crown. I am assuming I have a crown because I am a daughter of a Heavenly King, otherwise, I'm not sure WHY I have a crown. But, I do know I am blessed with three beautiful jewels....Priceless and irreplaceable.
I have to say that Mother's Day was probably the best one ever. How is THAT with two of my boys gone? I'm not sure myself, but KT sure pampered the heck out of me. He cooked, he did dishes and he started the laundry. All I had to do was sit back on my royal backside. Ladybug made me a beautiful card and hugged me and told me she loved me throughout the day. Miguel got to call home from his mission to talk to his mama for an hour. We don't talk by twice a year...it's a distraction. I thought it would make him more homesick...It didn't, but it made me more Miguel sick. Gosh I miss that kid...TJ, who is in the Air Force, Face Timed with me from New Mexico. He and I text or call almost every day, but the Face Time was different.
Not to brag, but I feel so blessed...I love my little family.
How did your family make you feel special yesterday?
My 5yr-old made it all worth it yesterday when he said "mom, I'm sorry for hating you" I think he was mad becasue I went to writers conference this weekend. haha, made my day :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to facetime with him. I know it's got to be awful being so far away from your babies... even though they aren't babies anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet children! I love my kiddos so much and they're growing up way too quickly. :(
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lovely Mother's day! Mine was nice and peaceful. My kids still make me stuff. It's a nice phase. And of course the husband did not complain about his "honey-do" list this weekend at all. <3
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day. And well deserved I might add :).
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a nice Mother's Day. Your pictures are sweet. I enjoyed my day too (and was glad for the excuse to eat a few extra cookies!)
