a "quick" update: my first mother's day

Well, it was the first official mother's day for me this past Sunday and what an amazing first to celebrate. I can honestly say that I know that there was something missing inside of me that I never even knew was there until Bodie joined our lives. Like a calling for me to be his mommy, and I wouldn't have selected differently if I could have picked from all of the babies in the entire world. Being his mommy is too special to explain, but I figure that all Moms out there know what I am talking about... (or I certainly hope so)

When we picked up mr. bodie from daycare on Friday, I found the sweetest gift inside of his backpack. Of course, an adorable personalized card with his handprint turned into a tulip. It was adorned also with a sweet poem and picture of him. And even though I know that he had no idea what he was doing that day they smeared yellow paint all over his chubby little fingers (and knowing that he possibly threw a fit in the process); it was still such a special gift to receive from him.

We had a wonderful weekend with our families and it was a lot of fun.
