Mother's Day 2010

1) Yes it is basically July and I am posting about May (busy mama).

2) Mother's day was a very mixed bag of emotions.

On a sad note Mark's Grandmother died on Mother's day weekend and obviously it was tough to find the balance between happy and sad for us all. On a happy note I was FINALLY a Mother on Mothers day. Ya know in many ways it did not feel like my 1st mothers day. Last Mother's day we had Laney's pictures and were making plans to meet her within weeks so honestly in my heart I had a Mother's Day in 2009 she was just not in my arms yet but wow it still was an amazing Mother's day last year too. It also feels like Laney has been with us forever so how could it be my 1st mothers day? She just fits our family so amazingly well and 110% she is the little girl of my dreams, she is 110% my daughter and I am proud to be her Mama. It is more than I could have ever asked for. My dear hubby and Laney made me an awesome homemade card that I will forever cherish. I got tons of hugs, kisses and a game of hot and cold (Laney was funny and would tell me I was cold if I was not near my gifts and hot if I was close to my gifts. "Hot Mama, No cold Mama"........TOO FUNNY). I eventually found a gift card for a massage and a Jade necklace/earring set with Mother/Daughter Chinese symbols. We also got to enjoy brunch with my Mother and Dinner with his Mother and let's face it Grandmothers are rockin mothers too. So now I better get posting about father's day so I am not so behind :)
