Becoming a mom has been my truest joy. I feel like my life started over when Cole came into it. I can't imagine life without him. I am so incredibly blessed to be his mommy. However, I know I wouldn't be the mommy that I am without the mothers who shaped me.
I am a Happy Mother because of all the mamas. Not to mention all of the mama-mentoring from friends and fellow mommies. Being a mother is membership to a very cool club!
I got to spend the day with my mom, grandmother, and sister. We did lovely girlie things: lunch at a cute little cafe, pedicures, and homemade tiramisu (a new tradition, that hopefully Jamie and I will improve!). I came home to thoughtful gifts from Cole and Derek, what a wonderful day!
The only thing missing was the rest of the mama's I love. Happy Mother's Day Sheryl, Suzie, and all the g'mas!
Enjoy the photos from the day along with some lovely words about mothers.
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
~Washington Irving
Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. ~Lin Yutang, Chinese writer
Making a decision to have a child--it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.
~Elizabeth Stone
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
~Rajneesh
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.
~ Jewish proverb
A mother understands what a child does not say.
~Author Unknown
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
~William Makepeace Thackeray
We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves.
~Henry Ward Beecher
