Mother's Day

I was a little unsure of how Mother's Day would be this year. Jeff's schedule just happened to work out that he is on-call today until Monday afternoon. I was a little disappointed. But I just have to say that I have the best husband ever. This morning, even though he had to go into work early, he got up and made me breakfast before he left, and not just basic cold cereal & toast. He went all out and made delicious crepes filled with fresh strawberries & whipped cream, cut grapefruit & orange juice. Then he gave me a cute card & some beautiful flowers. Ever the romantic, even under a busy schedule. I felt so loved.
Church was a little busy, but hey, I'm used to being alone so it wasn't much different. Our bishopric was released today though & sacrament meeting went 30 minutes overtime, so the boys were definitely rearing to go to nursery. During the 3rd hour they had a special Relief Society meeting for all the mothers that was really neat. And to top off the church aspect of the day, Jacob & Caleb presented me with their sweet little gifts. A paper with their painted-stamped handprint & the little "Fingerprints" poem. How sweet.
After church the Stevens had a little dinner at their home, so we all met up over there & enjoyed the dinner and time together, then gave gifts for Mother's Day. After spending time with the Stevens, I headed up to my parents where we pretty much repeated the same. The boys were excited though because we're spending the night with the Tanners.
Although it wasn't the Mother's Day I had imagined, it turned out pretty well; allowing me lots of time with my two little boys, celebrating the whole idea behind the holiday. I'm so grateful for Jacob & Caleb (and for our upcoming baby), so grateful to be a mother. Although it's a demanding role, it is wonderful and so rewarding. And I'm so grateful for a loving thoughtful husband. Happy Mother's Day!
