Mother's Day

This post is a bit late, but it's important so I'll post it anyway.

This was the sweetest Mother's Day yet. I had such a great and memorable day with Sybil. I went to a new breakfast place in Greensboro with my sister-in-law, Elisabeth, who lives with us. We had amazing food, delicious coffee, and great conversation. It was a treat to start the day out at such a sweet place, maybe even now my favorite place. Then I came home to this:

Daddy and Sybil had picked flowers, cleaned the house, and wrote a special note for me. It was precious. 

Andrew actually had to work that day, so he left and it was just Sybil and me. I attempted to feed Sybil lunch and this happened: 

It was such a precious moment. She NEVER falls asleep outside her crib! It made my day.

During her nap, I spent time with the Lord and thanked him for the last two years of being a mama. I felt his presence in an overwhelming way. Then Sybil woke up and we played ball and giggled and just enjoyed each other immensely. When Andrew came home from work, we loaded up and went to church. Our church home is awesome and we love going. It was the perfect way to end our day. 

I am truly so thankful to be a mama. It is the greatest gift I can receive, aside from Jesus and my husband. I am honored to care for my child. It is the best job there is. I feel incredibly blessed to get to stay home with her.
