Happy Mother's Day!

Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Oh Lord...Thank you for this calling. Thank you for Parker. Thank you for my mother and for my mother-in-law who have set such great examples for me. I strive to be the Godly mother you've called me to be!

We had Mother's Day Dinner with Granmamma and Grandaddy tonight. Parker was so well behaved in the nice resturant. I was so proud. Here are some pictures! (Stay tuned for a new video below...)Video: This one has nothing to do with Mother's Day...but I've been telling everyone how cute it is and I'm afraid if I don't get it up soon, I will be in big trouble! Parker's new thing is opening and closing doors. Don't worry about the crying at the end...he just scared himself by closing the door...no finger smashing.....yet.
