Mother's Day

This post has been a few days in coming because I have so much to say on the topic of being a mother, and I’m just not quite sure how to say it.

I will say that from my short time as a mother, I realize more and more that it is such an emotional experience. There’s nothing quite like it. The feelings of joy, pride, and LOVE (mixed in with a million other emotions) are so intense, yet so simple.

I surely hope that one day, my children will think of me the way I think of my own mother (and Jeff’s). I could go on and on about our mothers…about the strength, selflessness, and wisdom they possess—about the love they have for their children no matter the circumstance.

When I say how blessed I am to be a mother to Maggie and Miller, those are not empty words. I mean them from the bottom of my heart and so much so that I end up sobbing like a baby when I realize just how true they are.

I love this stage of motherhood, where I can fix the biggest problems in their world with a hug and a kiss. I wish I could always do that for them.

I just hope they always know how happy I am to be their mother.

Here are some pictures from Mother’s Day weekend and the past few days…
