Mother's Day 2012. My first one. As I always suspected, being a MOM is the absolute BEST job in the world. It may be the hardest, but it is also the most rewarding. A mother's love is something quite special. I've always known it, my own mama is simply amazing. But, now that I am a mama too...well it is even more clear to me how wonderful it is to be a MOM. So, yeah...it's nice to have a day dedicated to us:)
We enjoyed the second part of our day at my parents house. RELAXING. The first part? Not so much...the night before Mother's Day was Miss Collins' FIRST spend the night party with her Lolly and Grandaddy as Mikey was in a wedding and we wanted to have a FUN time at the reception and be relieved of parenting duties for the night. Of course I made my parents text me pictures like crazy...my dad did a great job...I got a play by play:) Anyways, we were planning on actually doing some WORK around the house Mother's Day morning (my idea) because Collins would still be at my parents and you know how hard it is to get stuff done with a baby! We worked our tails off all morning cleaning out the garage and cleaning the house, well..it was a good thing because that is the night our FIRST and ONLY "lookers" came to see the house...we got an offer that Monday. So,the work paid off. But, regardless...by the time we got to my parents house it was time to chill out and RELAX. It was a beautiful day on the lake and we enjoyed the heck out of some good family time.
I am so, so thankful that I am a mama to my wonderful, sweet Collins. I thank God every night for allowing me to be HER mama.
I am also beyond blessed to have such an incredible mama of my own. There really aren't enough words to describe it. She's simply wonderful.
Collins wore HER mama's dress on Mother's Day:)
