It's Good to Be a Mom!

Just looking at this cute little face makes me so proud and honored to be a mother. Even when I have a bad day and I feel like I haven't accomplished anything, I think about my baby and just the thought of her makes me smile.

For Mother's Day this year Tobby went above and beyond. He cleaned the house and made sure that I had as good a day as possible.

Tobby hung a bunch of photos around the house; things that we just haven't gotten around to do.

This is a plaque we got when we got married but just recently rediscovered. It's an excerpt from "The Family: A Proclamation to the World". If you can't read it, it says, "Harward: Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work and wholesome recreational activities."

He bought me flowers, which even though I know they die, I love.

He also brought me this plague that I've been eyeing at a store I frequent. I love the message and it makes me cry every time I read it. In case you can't read it, it says, "Housework can wait, my children need kisses. They want me to play, I'll put off the dishes. When they're grown, I'll keep the house spic 'n' span. But children grow fast, so I'll play while I can."

This may sound cheesy, but the best gift that Tobby has given me is Lily. I am extremely lucky to have such a caring and giving husband as well as a playful, happy baby. I am excited to repay Tob's kindness this June for his first Father's Day!
