Mama's Day!

Mother's Day was great.  We went to church, had a nice brunch with my family, a trip to the cemetery to visit past loved ones, and we wrapped up the day with a cookout with Bert's family.  In between we cleaned up the house and played at the park.  Everyone is fast asleep and will hopefully be ready for Ava's end of the year preschool program tomorrow morning.

Let me just say every Mother's day I reflect a little bit on what it was like to become a Mommy for the first time.  I was so happy, scared, excited and nervous all at the same time.  I can't say enough how awesome it is to be a Mom.  Sometimes I get caught up in the day to day clean up and get frazzled with all the things that go along with Mommy hood, but I honestly could not ask for anything more than to be a Mom.  The incredible feeling I get knowing I gave life to these two sweet babies.  I love them so much and am honored to be their Mommy!
