Mama's Day 2013

"Who can find a virtuous woman? She is far more precious than jewels...strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle. Her sons rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her: many women are capable, but you surpass them all! Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears The Lord will be praised. "
- Proverbs 31:10, 25-30


What a blessed, wonderful Mother's Day with my sweet baby girl.  We enjoyed lots of time together - we played outside, we visited Prince Farms to get fresh veggies and strawberries and we baked cookies.  And, I received the sweetest present from my girl and her amazing daddy.  They snuck away during the week to Paint Your Pot and she painted her mama some masterpieces (including a squirrel!).  Truly, the most thoughtful gift I've ever received - next to Madeline, of course.

Being a mom is the greatest privilege and I feel so honored to be Madeline's mom.  She makes my days great.

And happy, happy Mother's Day to my sweet mom.  Thank you for being such an amazing friend, teacher, listener, support and mom.  You're the best!  I love you!
