I love you so much Mollie Grace and Reed Isaac!
Grandma came to church with us again this Mother’s Day. It is always fun to be with your mom on this day. It was our first one without Grandma Betty and she was definitely in the front of our minds.
And I think I really am turning into my mom…. We both got each other the same cookbooks for gifts.
(Also…. Mollie let me buy matching dresses!)

This year was pretty low key. I usually try to go see all the “mothers” in my life, but I was just too pregnant. My mom came up to church with us and got to see Mollie sing with the children’s choir. It was good to have my mom beside me on Mother’s Day!
We went to lunch and enjoyed not going back to church.
I feel so very fortunate to be a mom… there is nothing more precious to me. Mollie is just the sweetest and we can’t wait to welcome little brother very soon!
I can’t resist getting matching outfits. I just can’t…. It’s silly, I know. I feel like now that I’ve started, it’s going to happen every Mother’s Day. Even when Mollie is thirteen and I have to drag her to church with matching mom. It’s going to be great.
This year, it was just super sweet. I mean…. super sweet!
I always have mixed emotions on this day...
I have been so blessed to have the most caring mother. Always sacrificing and loving me, and my brothers, with patience and grace. She is simply the best! I can never thank her enough for everything she has done and continues to do for me and my family. It has been so sweet to see her come up every Tuesday for her time with Mollie.
But I also know girls that haven't been so blessed. This day is full of longing and wandering what ifs and whys.
I have also been beyond blessed to have the sweetest daughter in the world. Every day is a joy being her mom and I praise God for every single minute. She is simply the best part of our lives and I am so grateful for her. She makes Mother’s Day awesome for me, for sure!
But I also know what it is to long to be a mother. My heart hurts for these ladies.
And lastly, I have been even more blessed to have the greatest Grandma and Nana. These two ladies have loved me since even before I was born and I'm so grateful for their influence in my life. It has been hard to watch Grandma fade away right in front of my eyes. I don’t visit her very often, but when I do, staring into her blank eyes breaks my heart. I don’t know if she’s in there or not, but I pray she’s not. Then, Nana is still crawling down on the floor to play with Mollie and all her great-grandkids. She is always praying for us and thinking about us and I am so grateful that we still get to enjoy her light in our lives.
All these ladies…. in plenty, in want, or in need… are an encouragement to me. I don’t forget how blessed I am, that is for sure.
At our Mother’s Day Breakfast at church, Tonya reminded us all that we are lovely. I am lovely. Loved by the King, and made righteous through Jesus! He sees me right where I am. May He always be my joy and comfort.
I love to celebrate being a mom. Mollie is so sweet and just such a joy every single minute of every day. I am so grateful to be her mom!
We have also made it a point to go see Grandma, Nana and Grandmama on this special day (and cute little Henry was there too!). Wish we could beam ourselves down to see Mamaw…

I loooove being a mother. The only thing I ever wanted to be was a wife and mother. That is why anniversaries and Mother’s days are THE BEST! I feel so very fortunate to be a mother…. To have had the experience of being pregnant and bringing a baby into the world… And to get to take care of our precious Mollie girl.

I don’t really enjoy my birthday, but man do I love anniversaries. Now I’m going to add Mother’s Day to the list of favorite holidays. It is a great day to celebrate my favorite thing… being a Mom. Man, do I feel proud and extremely blessed to have a child of my own. I know there are countless ladies out there that will never be able to have a baby and I don’t take it lightly.
