Mother's Day #9

It seems like just yesterday it was May, 2001 and I was pregnant with Annie. Now 10 years later, I have a 9 year old and a 7 year and a baby on the way!

Over those years I have witnessed my children experience all things in life...learning about the world around them and learning about themselves.

They are remarkable children and are so different and at the same time so similar.

When they were born, I was just wanting to make sure they lived to see the next day! Now I can't wait to see what they'll do next, yet at the same time wishing I could slow time down.

This year Geoff did exceptionally well with my card, I've copied the hallmark part, but I'm gonna keep his message to me. Here ya go...

"Because you're a Special Wife and mother...
It doesn't take a day like this for me to realize how fortunate I am to be married to you...but the best thing about Mother's Day is that it gives me a chance to tell you what a wonderful wife and mother you are, and that I don't know what I'd do without you and your love"

"Happy Mother's Day with All My Heart"

Honestly, it's one of the best cards he has ever gotten me. Over the last (almost) 10 years of being married and parenting we have gone through so much and pushed each other to the brink of destruction. Now, we have come full circle and in my opinion, we are stronger and better with each other than we were in the beginning. Which of course is part of growing with someone, but it's even better than simply growing with, we've grown together.

I can only hope that we can continue to work together to continue to achieve the goals we have, together. We've accomplished a lot as a family and there is so much more to look forward to, which is the best gift I could be given, future.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms I know.
