On Mother's Day I want to just take a minute to focus on how blessed I am. It is so easy to forget in the day to day, but I am taking this day to remember! I thank God for all the blessings in my life, and am thankful to have a relationship with Him. What a blessing it is to see that in my son, the son He has allowed me to Mommy! I am blessed to have my husband Alec. What can I say, he is amazing! He is the love of my life, an amazing husband, father, and friend, he works so much harder than anyone I know to provide for us both at home and at work, so blessed! I am so blessed to be Griffin's Mommy! He is such an amazing little man, he makes me a better person each and every day, I am so proud of who he is and all that he is becoming, he is happiness and love! Are you tired of hearing me say I am blessed? HA! Well I am not done, but I will keep the rest short! I am blessed to have such an amazing supportive family, and on this day want to specifically point out that I have been blessed to have my Mom as my Mom! I am blessed to have my friends, and those around me that care about me and my family! I am just so darn BLESSED! OK, I am done...
(Not the greatest pic of us, but it is all that I have on my camera from Mother's Day morning!)
Our Mother's Day celebrations started Saturday night at my in-laws house. Alec's mom and step-dad had us over for dinner, and then we played the night away in their beautiful backyard! Griffin showed everyone his baseball skills and got several of them in on his game (even if they weren't really wanting to play!)! It was a blast! They have a huge backyard and he really enjoyed getting to run around, feed the fish in the pond, and swing on the rope Grandpa hung from the tree for him!
Mother's Day morning Alec let me sleep in as late as he could, and him and Griffin surprised me with a beautiful picture that Griffin made when they woke me up! We got dressed, and I had bought a new dress to wear (I never wear dresses) and when Griffin saw me he said, "Mommy dance me!", and we danced together! The way he said it it was as if he was trying to tell me I looked pretty and that meant we should dance! Such an amazingly special moment! Then it was off to church and then to my parent's house for lunch! We had a nice lunch, got some wonderful Mother's Day goodies, and again had a nice baseball game outside! Well, Griffin, my dad- Papa, Alec, Aunt "T" aka Sarah, and my mom- Nana did... I got to stay inside and veg on the couch for a little while, very nice! Then it was home for a long nap (thank you G!) and then to dinner with my boys! When we came home, I spent the evening laying on the couch watching Alec and Griffin play baseball, and then they sang me some songs and played their instruments for me (Griffin's idea!)! All in all, it was a GREAT day and I couldn't have asked for more on Mother's Day!
Watching my boys play ball and of course watch the Red Sox!
And my boys serenading me... yes Griffin is NAKED it was after bath!
