sleeping in...
breakfast in bed (my favorite caramel rolls, breakfast wrap, and chai tea from a local cafe)....
proceeding to lay around in bed until noon....
handmade cards from the boys...
gifts picked especially by them--with no help from daddy (a mug from owen and teal colored beaded bracelets from max)....
a trip to the garden center to pick out a new lilac tree for our yard....
and our traditional mother's day shoot...
by our beautiful blooming tree planted in memory of our angel baby whom i never got to be mother to....but still consider one of our children.....
a "photo shoot" in which the boys were a bit silly and crazy....
sitting still was a very difficult task...
but i was in them...with them....
which, as you probably know, is quite a rarity.....
and that's all i really wanted...
thank you dear hubby for spoiling me and humoring me with the photo taking....
and happy mother's day to my dear mom...
my friend.... the one who has taught me so much....
so blessed to call you mom....
and i am so blessed to be a mama to these boys....
it may not be all cherries and sunshine but i wouldn't have it any other way...
being a mom is the best journey i have ever been on....
happy mother's day!
