My Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day didn't start out to be very promising. Nat had to work on Sunday for the first time ever and that had to be Mother's Day. He had to go into work at 6:00 a.m. So, I had to take the boys to church on my own and I've never seen Bixente throw such a fit. He was just very unhappy to wake up and find his Papa not home. We finally made it to church and the fits continued, but some nice people helped out and he finally calmed down and got happy. Nat arrived home within minutes of our return home from church with two dozen perfect roses! From that point on, the day was saved. He made lunch for us, everyone had a nap, then we went to this beautiful lake and did a little walk through the forest, let the kids play on the playground, and look at the turtles swimming in the lake. It turned out to be a beautiful day! I love being a mom--even if there are occasional tantrums. I love my sweetheart for making everything so nice, and I love my own Mom for making my wonderful life possible by giving me life.

It's been a while since I've checked your blog! Your boys are getting so big, and you are so beautiful! I agree, being a mom is great... tantrums and all. :) Thanks for sharing.
