Mother's Day

What a fantastic first Mother's Day! It was really such a special day, and it was a lot more meaningful than I had anticipated.

As I walked into the kitchen to get my morning cup of coffee, there was a gorgeous boquet of roses that greeted me! Ryan and Derek each had a card for me, and Derek gave me some m&m's as well. :) They made me feel so special, loved and appreciated. It meant so much!

We had my Mom and Dad over for a Mother's Day lunch that I wanted to put together to honor my Mom. It all turned out reeaaally good if I do say so myself. ;)

After lunch we went on a nature walk and then played a game of Gin Rummy. We had the most enjoyable time just being together. I am so thankful for my Mom, and I think I admire her even more now that I am a Mom as well.

I thank God for Derek Reid and feel so blessed that Ryan and I have been given the opportunity to raise this little boy. I love my little Buddy! :)
