Well, 'technically' this is not my first Mother's Day... however, it is my first with a baby to hold in my arms and that is priceless! I'm truly thankful to have an amazing mom who throughout the years has modeled a beautiful example of what God intends for us to be as mothers. I'm often speechless, when I think of the amazing gift it has been that now God has allowed me to fill this role in a little one's life. My prayer is that He would enable me to love Livy unconditionally, as He loves her and point her to Jesus in all that I am and do.
Thank you to all the amazing women who have exemplified the beauty of motherhood to me (My mom, grandmothers, mom-in-law, aunts, friends, etc), and may the Lord bless you infinitely in his goodness.
I had some very special surprises on my first Mother's Day weekend. Damein was nominated to preach in chapel at the seminary and did so on Friday, and we all went out to lunch at Stir Crazy afterwards. It was beautiful outside, and Livy enjoyed the nice breeze while chilling in her car seat when we ate:) This is one of the best pics of Livy and I together, which Damein ended up having printed and framed for me for Mother's Day.
Friday night, he planned a surprise double date with our friends Matt and Ashley and we ended up at the art studio of a couple from our church. They taught us the art of ceramics! I was amazed that in one night, they could teach us how to throw and that I would actually be able to create something! I made 4 different items and look forward to going back to glaze them. Something I've always wanted to do! Here are a few pics but there are more to come!
Thanks dear, you're the best!
