Happy Mother's Day --- Finally!

I love my children so much. I always knew being a mother would be wonderful and rewarding, but I never realized how much so. They are so darling and precious and sweet and I can't get over how much a mother can truly love her children. Ariah with her curls and busy little sweet self, Cole with his generous, spiritual and caring personality, and Ambra with her in charge, I can do it all - bring it on attitude. They are my babies and I am the luckiest mother in the world.

Adam was soooo cute in preparing for Mother's Day. We were blessed to have my mother and his with us and he was in charge of the whole day. I was awoken by 3 sweet children jumping on my bed and begging me to read thier card first. Adam fixed my MP3 player that I have never been able to listen to, and got me a cookbook. He had a gourmet breakfast waiting, table set, and all (he did all this before we even awoke.)

I had a scavenger hunt to go on - Cole made the cutest little clues. They were just letters on paper - hidden all over the house. He would say (it's under the bed) when I found that one (the next one is on your pillow) etc. Cute.

It doesn't get better than this.

I love mother's day because it is the begining of nice weather. We get to plant these.

Read books in this.

Anxiously await spoils from these.

Gather fruit from these.

Watch the kids spin on this.

Have BBQ's on the patio shaded by these.

and find that a bird laid her eggs in your door decoration. Love it!

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers out there that inspire me to be a better, more patient and loving mother. Happy Mother's Day to my mom who is a wonderful person who loves me dearly, and to Adam's mother that raised the most wonderful man on the planet.
