Today could have only been more perfect IF...Jamie were home, and if Kyle was with us!!! It was wonderful!!! :-) For starters, Jamie called me first thing this morning, telling me, "you are the best mom EVER"..that is always so good to hear!
Next thing, of course, was just seeing my little man first thing this morning; he's gorgeous; he's perfect, and what a wonderful life he is giving me. For me, Mother's Day was more about celebrating the life of my son, making me a mother...
I started cooking and baking as soon as the day started. I made some stuffed pork chops and sweet corn on the grill, deviled eggs, baked beans, Italian bread,
hash brown casserole (this is pretty much Jamie's FAVORITE meal), and for dessert I made a strawberry jell-o cake with fresh sliced strawberries on top. Tim, Angie and Justin came over for lunch, and of course we did gifts... We got Di a 10 x 13 photo from Rowan's one year pictures. She got me a
cd (mommies one), 2 beautiful cards and money to put towards an afternoon at the spa! PERFECT!!! Rowan also got me a card, and it was so cute.
Thank you to all of you who thought of me today; I really appreciate it!!! I got a few text messages from: Hope,
Elesha, Cori, Jenn,
Mindi, Melissa and my wonderful hubby!!! Cards have been coming in the mail all week, mostly from my card-crazy Aunt Karen (she is even WORSE than me, hard to do~!). I got to talk to my mom, my mother-in-law, father-in-law...I don't even know who else, and I know I am leaving people out!!! The best phone call came this afternoon, from Kyle and Karena. It literally made my day!!! It was so nice of them to think of me on Mother's day, and someday they will fully understand just how special they are to me.
Okay, gotta run for now. Happy Mother's Day to all of you!!!!!!!!!!
