Mother's Day!

Since this blog is pretty much done for the Mother's in my life, I couldn't forget to make sure you all know how much I love you and how grateful I am for you.

Mom: What would I do without you. It is your daily phone calls that keep me going strong and feeling grounded. When I haven't talked to you, my day is not complete. I admire your strength and patient example so much. Thank you for being there when I really needed you last year and for continuing to be there when I need uplifting. You understand me, which comforts me greatly. I thank Heavenly Father every day for a mother like you. I love you.

Anne: Thank you for always being so giving to me. Thank you for your calls to see how we are doing here so far away from you all. Thank you for keeping us updated on all the family information and fun gossip. That means more to me than anything because as you know I miss you all so much. Thank you for your help with RS lessons when I needed a different point of view. I love you and also appreciate your advice on Jace. I often think back on things you have told me about being a mother and I am better for that! I love you.

Chris: My wonderful mother-in-law. I am so blessed to have you in my life. You are so giving and I absolutely love the memories we have of staying with you last year. Thank you for all the help you gave us with Jace. Each gesture of help meant and means everything. I was grateful to have someone that "understood". I love your calls and your emails. Talking to you makes me miss you all the more. Thank you for loving me as your own. I love you.

At Church yesterday they gave everyone a rose. A few days before we taught Jace how to smell things. He was very into smelling the rose every time I asked him too.

I have the most amazing husband. He cares so much and tries his hardest to be sneaky with little things just to make me happy. Ever since last summer whenever J has asked me what I want for Christmas, or my birthday or just anything, I say a sewing machine and then change my mind. I love to sew and want to be better at it. I had no clue he had researched sewing machines and surprised me with it yesterday morning. All adorned with a huge Toblerone chocolate bar....my favorite. I love you sweetheart and thank you for always thinking of me. Because of you I am a mother to our most precious Jace. Thank you for that.
