I celebrated my first Mother's Day 3 years ago with a fancy lunch in the cafeteria at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. Somehow, my mom ended up with A LOT of forks on her plate. Nathan thought it would be funny to take a picture.
My second Mother's day was celebrated in Toccoa Georgia while we were there to celebrate Luke's college graduation. I was 4 months pregnant with Audrey. I remember my father-in-law, Don, buying a necklace for Nathan to give to me (in case Nathan had fogotten!). Don and Ethan made pancakes for us for breakfast. It sticks out to me because Ethan was terrified of Don for some reason (probably the mustache), but overcame his fears and let Don hold him while he made the pancakes.
Last year was my third Mother's Day. I don't really remember the day. I think I had picked out a necklace and told Nathan he could call that my Mother's Day gift. I'm sorry, Nathan, if you had done something amazing. My brain isn't working.
That brings us to this year- my first Mother's Day without my mom. I've been thinking about her a lot lately. I'll write about it more later. Sunday itself wasn't a bad day. Nathan made breakfast for me. He and the kids brought me breakfast in bed! They also bought me an arm-band ipod holder to use when I exercise. They also gave me a cute card and Nathan rearranged the basement and set up an area for me to do my scrapbooking. Nathan worked very hard! I was and am very thankful.
Thank you to all of you who prayed for me this Mother's Day.
