It was a good day to be a Mom

My mother's day was very nice. I had told Heath that what I really wanted for Mother's day was to have our family portraits taken. He agreed so I planned for that to be my gift. When the boys got up on Sunday morn., they immediatly found me to present me with a card and gift. As I read the card aloud they both stood next to me with big smiles, just as proud as they could be. Josiah was mostly proud that he wrote his own name (with daddy's help.) They were also just as proud of the gift. It was salt and pepper shakers (I collect them) The salt is a momma Kangaroo and the pepper is a joey that fits down in her pouch. It was a very fitting gift. Noy alot of husbands will make the effort to take the kids with him to get something so thoughtful, especially after I gave him an out with the portraits. I must have gotten the best husband of all.

We did go to Target's portrait studio to have pictures made. I am very pleased with the way that they turned out. The photographer was very good and I know that these will be pictures that I treasure forever. Alyssa cried during alot of the pics. but somehow the photographer made it look sweet that she was crying so much. Next time I will make an appointment and make sure that she gets fed just before we get there. I can't wait to pick up the pictures and share them with friends and family.

It was a good Mother's day! I love my children and I love my husband very much.
