Mother's Day Top Four For My Four

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Oh, wrong holiday.

Just kidding. Happy Mother's Day.

After church this morning (a terrific sermon on showing mercy and grace), we hosted a BBQ for our moms. I lasted a whole two hours into the party before falling asleep next to Aria after lying her down for a nap. That didn't surprise me.

What did surprise me was the gift I received from my mother-in-law.

 

 

"All the love a heart can hold"

I love it! I can't wait to hang it in the triplets' room.


For a Mother's Day gift to myself, I decided to relax and write about the top four best things about being a mom of four under the age of three.

# 4: The sibling friendship.

It's almost as though they know already they'll be best friends for life.

They may fight over toys,

keep each other awake,

and get into mischief together, 

but these things are all part of loving each other.

#3: Giving me an reason to go outside and soak up the vitamin D. 

It seems like just as much work to go sit in the yard as it is to ...

take field trips to the zoo.

#2: The laughs at their expense. 

 'nough said.

#1: Watching new friendships grow.

Thanks for the zoo pics, Deanna : )

 I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day- whether you're a mom of five, a mom of furry creatures, a stepmom, a mom who has lost a child, or a woman waiting for that baby to come- you're amazing and important to the people who love you.

God bless.
