I am Blessed Beyond Measure....Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!  I've  had the best weekend.  Matt and Lily Grace have worked so hard to make Mother's Day so special.  They've loaded and unloaded the dishwasher, made several meals and even helped me work in the flowerbeds without complaint.  I have to be honest, it was more than just a little gardening.  We have several large beds and they were in need of some fresh mulch.  We  had a large dump truck bring us a load and the three of us spent Saturday spreading it out.  I have to say, we all enjoyed it.  It was a wonderful way to spend a Mother's Day weekend.  We laughed, worked together, enjoyed a beautiful spring day and LG even learned to drive the mower.  I can't count the number of times I stopped just to watch her and Matt together.  Those two are my everything.  We ended with much needed showers, pizza for dinner and all three of us piled into bed and watched some classic TV shows.  
Sunday morning Lily Grace surprised me with the most adorable gifts that she's been working on.  She is so thoughtful and loving and of course those kinds of gifts melt my heart.  
Matt gave me a commissioned painting from Ashley Anthony Artwork and the Good Lord continues to bless me beyond measure. 
Thank you Heavenly Father for your unconditional love.  Thank you for the gift of motherhood.  It is truly one of my greatest blessings and moves me in the biggest ways.  I'm moved to be a better version of myself and to do right by the gift that you have entrusted to me.  Thank you for the blessing of Mary.  What a wonderful model of love and faith that you have  given to guide us in our daily live as moms.  
Matt and Lily Grace, thank you!  My cup certainly does runneth over.  I feel quite guilty that I should be celebrated today for being a mom because honestly, I am the one who is honored.  I love you both so very much!  Gracie, you are the best part of me!

Gifts from Gracie: She made me a bag filled with goodies.  I got an adorable card, some recipes, one of her Georgia O'Keeffe flower drawings and some coupons.  We got the biggest laugh off some of the coupons she came up with.  Notice how Matt got included in a few.  Too cute!
