A Happy First Mother's Day!

It was my very first Mother's Day this year and Luke kept on teasing me that he didn't think Mother's Day was that big of a deal and why should he bother getting me a present? By Friday night, he had me so convinced, I just knew that he wasn't going to get anything to mark this special occasion and the flower I got a church was going to be my big Mother's Day! Well, he surprised me Saturday afternoon with my favorite flower and a monkey that he had made at Build a Bear. The monkey is to remind me of my little monkey, Noah. We call him that because he is always trying to climb everywhere!

So, I ended up having a great first Mother's Day. We went to church that morning and the men took care of all the moms with not only the pansies but a chocolate bar too! Then we came home and made a big lunch for my mom, myself, and my sister and sister-in-law. It was yummy and we had a great Mother's Day together!

I love being a mom and it was fun to celebrate being the mother of Noah. He is so much fun and brings a smile to my face hourly if not more. He is so funny! He is getting so big and time is flying. I can't believe our first year together is almost over!

He is just such a cute little boy Megan! I can't believe how much he changes every time I see a new picture of him! I'm glad that you had a fabulous first mother's day! Can you believe that next year you will have TWO!? That will be such good little friends and although at times maybe a little overwhelming - you wouldn't want it any other way! I'm so excited for you guys! Make sure that you post as soon as you know what you're having! --- By the way, when are you due?
