I cried with appreciation on Mother's Day for my own mom and for the love I felt from my kids this year. As I was sleeping, Eli woke up on his own and made me toast with scrambled eggs and delivered it to me in bed.
Each kid had notes and crafts waiting for me on the table as well as a loving note from Aaron. He has a gift with words and he makes me cry every time I read something he wrote me.
Aaron had responsibilities to do after church so I snapped a few pictures with the kids before they dashed off to change their clothes.
They each made silly faces, but I'll treasure these pictures forever. I've said this before and I'll probably say it again and again, but I truly love the ages of my kids right now. Yes they fights and complain at times about chores they are asked to do around the house, but they are also overall happy to obey and be together as a family.
I still feel like I have so much to learn as a mother. They've each taught me so much and continue to teach me more and more. These past 11 years have been a joy being with them every waking moment.
A friend dropped off these beautiful flowers on Sunday evening. She said she and her mom made a list of people that they thought would enjoy some flowers from their garden and they thought about me. I was grateful for their special delivery!
Eleanor took my phone for a little photo shoot.
