Mother's Day

Our Family of Three!

I had a wonderful weekend with my family!  We were all sick around here last week so it was nice to finally be feeling better.  Ellie is still getting breathing treatments to help with her upper respiratory infection, but I think she's on the mend! 

Sunday Barry got up with Ellie and gave her a bottle at 7:00 when she woke up.  I got up shortly after that so we could all get ready for church and be on time!  What is it about a baby that takes twice as long to get ready?  He went to get breakfast for us...donuts and pigs in a blanket.  Yum!  Barry also gave me the sweetest Mother's Day card from him and Ellie.  It made me cry!  They gave me a gift card so I could do some shopping. 

Our church always has a beautiful Mother's Day program and this year was no exception.  It was very touching.  What made our service even better is that one of our dear friends was baptized!!  We are so proud of his decision and thank God that he is in our lives.

After church we went to lunch, then came home.  Ellie went down for her nap and I made peanut butter no bake cookies for small group.  Our small group is finally meeting again after taking some time off since December to work with the youth group. We see our friends often, but it's not the same as meeting in our group.  We love these people! 

Small group was fantastic as always!  Ellie was perfect.  She was held by many and then rolled around on the floor.  She is so close to rolling over from her back to stomach.  She just needs to move her arm out from under her and she'll have it.  Of course that could take a while. 

The evening ended with us coming home and doing our bedtime routine with Ellie.  I silently thanked God for this amazing baby girl that we had waited so long for.  She was worth the wait....oh was she ever!  I can't imagine a more perfect fit to our life! 

After she was in bed we watched Brothers and Sisters.  I had DVR'd it.  Does anyone else watch this show?  I love it!  It's one of my favorites.  I cried...of course.  I cry at almost anything.  ha! 

It was just a normal day for us with some wonderful and even unexpected events thrown in.  It might not sound so exciting to many of you, but it was perfect for me.  I'm finally a mommy and believe me I don't take that lightly or forget how blessed I am. 

I continue to pray that my friends who are waiting will be mommies very soon!
