This past weekend we celebrated my very first Mother's Day! Becoming a mother has changed the way I look at my own mom. I understand the countless sacrifices she made, hours of sleep lost, showers untaken, and personal time vanished. I understand how she must have felt exhausted, overwhelmed, unappreciated, and like a hot mess at times! But I also understand the endless and unconditional love and joy that she must have felt that this little person calls her "mama". Nothing compares. I have never felt more loved or in love, more blessed, more humbled, more happy, more FULL, and more undeserving of it all. I love you, mom! Thank you for creating the best life for our family and teaching me how to be a mommy!
Perry made this little artwork at school for Mother's Day, and I couldn't love anything more!
On Saturday, we went to Katy to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom and family. John, Perry, and I stopped at Panera Bread on the way out there for some lunch, then we swam and played at Mumsie and Popsie's.
Heading home with a Mohawk! My mom used to do our hair like this when we were babies. :)
On Mother's Day, John got me Shipley's and Starbucks for breakfast, and then we skipped church (sh!) to head to the zoo! We met up with our friends the Boudreauxs. It was Ellen's first Mother's Day, too!
Perry loved the carousel at first, and then started fussing. She wasn't so sure!
Perry LOVED the gorillas! She got so exciting and started hollering at them, kicking her little legs, and waving her arms. It was presh!
It was a very happy Mother's Day, indeed!!!
