As I reflect on Mother's day while expecting the second child, I have learned a few things. I know that you do not become a mother in order to be adored or appreciated. There are those moments, but you have many more times when you are not fully appreciated or adored. But, you have joy when you see your children reaching milestones. As in the above. This isn't the first time she has blown bubbles, but this is the first time I've captured it on video. And, the hug times are precious times, plus the unsolicited I love you's. There have been many joys that have enriched my life over the past 3 years of being a mother.
This morning I had flowers and a balloon waiting on me at the breakfast table, along with a couple of small gifts. And, two very nice cards as well. Unfortunately, Woody was working and not able to go to church as Natalie and I struggled getting there in the rain. But, it is a beautiful sunny day now to enjoy the rest of Mother's day!
