mother's day 2014

motherhood has been such a crazy ride these past 9 years, but i wouldn't trade it for any other experience.  my three babies are not so baby anymore. they can fix themselves breakfast, fold and put away their laundry, make pancakes, AND ride their bikes to their friends house without me!  they are spunky, loving, thoughtful, sweet, funny, curious, full of energy, caring, and so much more that i hope to see God grow in them as they mature.  my prayer for them is that they grow in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and others. (Luke 2:52)

for mother's day, we had brunch with my sister's family and then spent the rest of the day hanging out just the five of us.  later in the evening, we got to share some things we've been learning about our faith at a class called perspectives.  we got to share how we have personally been blessed by God in order to be a blessing to others.  afterwards, we had a time of singing together that was very uplifting.

we didn't have much planned for mother's day (we're kind of last-minute people) but all in all it was a memorable mother's day.  blessed to be mama to three of the best gifts God has given me yet!
