Happy Mom's Day

I know...I know...how could you not love this little face:

Oh I really really do...I thank God every night for her and her life...and for the fact that I get to be her mom...wow...what a scary task that is! I pray that I (well...Jon and I) will raise her up right...that she will come to know, love and serve God at a very early age...and that she will be a girl/woman that will bring joy to those around her...and if she just happens to be a rocket scientist, a farmer, and hairstylist all in one...well...that would be okay too :) Whatever she grows up to be I just pray that she will look back and know that her momma loved her very much and that I was always there to encourage her...I am one blessed momma to be this little girls momma! We had a wonderful Mother's Day...Jon and one of our friends decided to surprise their wives/baby momma and take us out to brunch...the place that they had picked they tried to get a reservation but they wouldn't take them so by the time we got out of church it was a 2 hour wait...no way were we going to do that...so onto plan B...which ended up to be way better than plan A anyway...we had a delicious brunch and then we came home to take a much needed nap...unfortunately Natee had other plans so Jon didn't get a very long nap but being that it was Mother's Day...I did :) The rest of the day was just spent hanging out together and doing a little cleaning...and then of course watching the Amazing Race finale...Jon's sister and husband were able to join us so that was a lot of fun! So thank you Jon for a wonderful Mother's Day...you sure know how to make a girl feel loved...and thank you Natee for being you and so easy to love...Momma loves you very much!

How can you not love that smile!

Love love love!

A girl and her momma...remind me to show her these pictures when she gets to be a teenager and I become dumb and stupid! :) hahaha!

A momma with all her kids.

I am so thankful for Natalee to be here to celebrate Mother's Day with me...but there will always be three little babes that I will be longing to see on these days...there will always be three cards that I don't get to open...three hugs and kisses that I don't get to feel...three little voices saying "I love you" and three little voice I have to tell to be quiet sometimes. Oh how I miss them all...but Jon told me last night that he is pretty sure that they are making cards for me in Heaven and I will have a bunch to open up up there...and they are probably made of gold so they will be much better than any card down here :) He knows just what to say. But I do want to give a shout out to all the moms out there whose babies are making cards with my babies...just know that I thought about you all and hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day...in spite of the pain of missing our little ones. May you feel God's loving arms around you even more...and to all the ladies out there who are waiting to become moms...I've been in your shoes too...I pray that your hearts desire will be answered soon and that you will be able to hold a new bundle of joy in your arms soon. Happy Mom's Day.
