Happy Mother's Day

I had to jump on and say Happy Mother's day to my mom, and Tim's mom. We love you so much and we are so grateful for everything you do for us!! You are so great! When we called our moms earlier tonight, I was laughing because my mom and I were talking about how your kids don't really ever truly appreciate Mother's day until they are mothers themselves. How true! I am so much more thankful and grateful for my mom now that I am a mother myself and am beginning to see everything she's done for me and put up with. I was also quite a handful so I am pretty proud of my mom helping me turn out so well ;)

I also have to say I love love love being a mother! It is the greatest blessing. Some days I love it more than others... but every day I get to see my sweet baby's face and watch him grow and learn and it is so amazing. I love how his face lights up when he sees me. I love how he always laughs at my jokes even when they are dumb. I love how happy and excited he is about everything. I love his hugs. I love the light that he brings into our home. I can't even describe how much I love him. It has been really interesting for me to watch my capacity to love just grow and grow, to a greater extent than I had ever imagined.

To every mother that was, is, or will be-

Happy Mother's Day

-Katie

This is way late, but Happy Mother's Day Katie! It's our first year as mothers! And you are right, being a mom is amazing. It's still seems crazy to me that I actually have this precious little baby.
