Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. It's probably my favorite day of the year. I love the role of mothering, I love my mother, and I love being a mother. 

On that note, I received an email from Quincy via her teacher on the Friday before Mother's Day. Quincy is in a tech classroom this year. Her teacher became tech certified, then wrote a grant and received an iPad for every student in her class to use daily. This was one of her projects. It's so adorable I took a screen shot of every page so I could save it on the blog. 

It was called the 

"#momyoumatter" project.

Oh thank you, Quincy! I love you so much and I love reading with you, swimming with you and fixing you grapes for dinner. xoxo

Reese and Quincy hosted a Mother Daughter party at church with their Activity Days group. This activity was well planned and the video interviews that the leaders put together was my favorite part. I also really loved the mother daughter photos. The girls made me really cute fabric flower pins and cards. 

I loved being showered with homemade handprint cards all day. We ate waffles for  dinner and Aaron gave me some beautiful flowers. The Young Women put together a very nice lunch program during church with music and talks that were very well done. It was so nice. 

I'm so thankful for the example of Aaron's mom. She raised a perfect son and is the most selfless person I've ever known. A true angel on earth. I love Lynda so much and can't wait to visit her in July. Thank you, Lynda, for mothering such a wonderful man. You are the epitome of mothering perfection.

And finally, a picture of my awesome mother. I feel like by age 33, I shouldn't "need" my mom, but I do, every day. I love her and I'm thankful for her being not only my mother, but my friend. We have so much fun together and encourage each other and she has really helped pull me out of some muddy post partum depression this year. Spending my birthday/the week before Mother's Day with her was such a gift. Thank you, Aaron, for making it happen!
