Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. We began the day by dedicating Leah at church. As Andrew introduced our little girl to the church, she spit up right on cue! We shared that our prayer for her (and for all of our kids) is to live out Psalm 63: to seek after, thirst for, and praise her Creator. Please join us in praying this prayer whenever you think of/pray for our kids.

After church, we headed home for naps, and I got a few hours of alone time out of the house. I spent most of the time driving all over the city trying to find an ice-cream cake for Leah's one-month birthday, but being in a car without screaming kids is basically like a vacation, so I enjoyed every second of it!

After naps, we had dinner and dessert at my parent's house. We had a delicious meal of steak and salmon, and followed it up with the ice cream cake...a perfect meal in my book! Even sweeter was that we enjoyed Mother's Day with both of our moms. As I looked around the table, I was so overcome with God's goodness. I'm so blessed to be a mom to my three crazy kids, and also to have two wonderful role models in my mom and my mother-in-law. Praise God, the giver of every good and perfect gift!

And to end the night, we tried to take pictures. I had a big-time picture fail as we finally got a good one of the kids smiling, and ruined it by closing my eyes...ugh :0(
