"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." 1 Peter 3:15

Mother's Day 2013

I am feeling so incredibly blessed this Mother's Day...

Matt started out my day with a poem he had written for me:

On this Mother’s Day;
I would like to say;
three cheers for you,
For all you do;
to make our lives bright;
and raise us high as a kite;
no better mom there is;
So let me say gee whiz;
I’m glad I'm with you;
I thank God I met you;
You work when you’re tired;
you work when you’re wired;
you take care of us all;
even when emotions are raw;
you delight us with smiles;
I see them over the miles;
you teach well the kids;
brains grow under their lids;
you make good decisions;
you’re full of wisdoms;
you’re my inspiration;
you’re the reason for celebration! 
 
Elijah gave me a wonderful home-made gift (is there a better kind of gift?) He had made it at co-op on Thursday and kept it a secret...(it's a serving tray)
 
I took a picture of my beautiful babies as we headed out to Church...I am so thankful for them and the joy of being their Mom :)
 
The kids sang a really funny song in honor of mom's at Church today...it was awesome and you can watch it here:
 
After Church we rushed off to Elijah's soccer evaluations for next year...they were an hour and a half long...he looked like he did well, hoping that he makes it! (Found out on May 15th that he did make it!)  
When we got home Elijah said he wanted to play with ME, so he got out the Memory game and we played Memory...I was having a good memory day and I actually tie with Elijah :) Usually he wins, so I was very happy for my clarity today! After that the kids went outside and played with my neighbor's kids (thanks Meri!) and I enjoyed and uninterrupted chat with my mom. Soon I will be cuddling with my loves and reading them the Bible and bedtime stories...then I will enjoy some me time..It has truly been a wonderful, relaxing day and I am thankful for it.
