Almost a Mother's Day...


I had a great almost a Mother's Day today! I woke up this morning and Steve had made me a delicious breakfast---chocolate chip, strawberry pancakes (the biggest pancakes I've ever seen at that!) with turkey bacon and fruit---yum!
We then saw our precious godson/nephew be dedicated at church which is a true blessing. We hope we are able to help him grow into a strong man of God. 
We had lunch with my amazing mom and dad today as well. I have been truly blessed with an incredible mother who has not only provided a great example of what a mom should be but also lucky to consider her one of my best friends. My mom is dependable, strong, confident and a woman of great faith. I hope that my little Ellie will love and respect me as I do my own mom.
On that note, I must give my wonderful mother-in-law a shout-out as I've also been blessed with her in my life. We have such a great relationship (which I'm learning is apparently a rare occurrence!).  Not only is she compassionate and dependable but she raised the man of my dreams and I am eternally grateful to her.
Our Ellie is going to have the two greatest grandma's there are!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms and moms-to-be out there, whether it be today or any other day of the year. I'm reminded everyday by little kicks and jabs what a precious gift it is to be a mom and what a miracle each child of God is. I cannot wait to meet our little girl and work each day to be the best mom for her.

House update--- The drywall is complete and the entire house has been painted! It's amazing what a difference solid walls and a coat of paint can make to a home. Tomorrow they will begin on the flooring and continue with the fast progression of our future home. It's still on schedule to be completed on the 30th so depending on when Miss Ellie decides to arrive, we may or may not be moving in Memorial Day weekend!
