My First Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Honestly, I was initially a little bummed about Mother's Day, even though I have good reason to celebrate this year. The reason is because Josh is gone to La Y for a week, so I am all by myself. (Well, besides Owen.) There is nobody here to help make my special day special (except for Owen who is making it special by taking a good, much-needed afternoon nap. Yay!).

BUT, luckily I have the greatest husband ever!!! On Friday, I received a wonderful surprise when this beautiful boquet of flowers arrived at my door. Even though Josh was out in the middle of nowhere, he still was able to "use his sources" as he said and get these flowers ordered for me. They made me cry because I was not expecting anything at all this weekend!


I feel so blessed to be the mom to this cute little kid. Owen is such a joy and a blessing! After waiting for what seemed like forever to have him join our family, I now know what joys a child can bring. He is teaching me so much, especially patience! He is full of energy and life and happiness. He laughs and smiles so easily. I am happy he is so happy. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and modern medicine which made it possible for me to be a mother on this earth! I love you Owen!
