The Best Gift

This Mother's Day was my first actual "Mother's Day". Last year I was almost 5 months pregnant and feeling very maternal, but this year really took the cake.

I woke up and relaxed in bed while Ed took care of Tenley and they made me breakfast. On the menu: wheat pancakes topped with bananas and whipped cream with turkey sausage, too. I died and went to breakfast heaven!!

The hubs bought me this sweet wooden frame:

(Thanks, Ed!! It fits perfectly between our room and T's nursery, too.)

I also got nice cards in the mail. My favorite card (besides T's) was sent from my Mom; which was signed by entire family:

(Thanks everyone! It totally made me smile!)

Since it was such a beautiful day, we took Tenley to the park...

and we had some fun on the splash pad!

My first official Mother's Day was so much fun... it was perfect!

How could it not be perfect when I got to stare at this cutie all day though?!

(I just love her to pieces...)

When you find out your going to become a Mom you really have no idea what you're going to experience. Even when I thought I had everything prepared - I wasn't. Some days I still don't have it together. You just never know what to expect!

I must say, being a Mother has been the best gift God has ever given me. I have always heard that, "there is nothing like a Mother-Daughter bond" and I am so beyond blessed to get to experience that bond with my little T-bird.

Happy Mother's Day To All The Mommies!! :)
