In lots of ways, it was a typical Sunday. We went to church, got a coffee treat on the way home, made brunch, took naps, grilled outside, had bath and bed… But today was a little different.

Today I was a mom on Mother’s Day.

| pretty sure this is the face he’ll make when he’s a big boy and I try to steal a smooch =) |
So today, we celebrated the extraordinary. We celebrated Sam, this lovely charming little boy who made me a mommy. There were cards and pink tulips and donuts. There were gifts of a CD Husby knew I’d love, and sweet little daisy earrings ‘from’ Sam. Husby wrote me a song {i. know. Swoon…} that he’ll add a verse to each Mother’s Day {swoon again…} Pictures were taken of our precious family and we loved our moms hard. We remembered the baby we lost, the pregnancy tests with only one line, the four years we waited…
Today we celebrated our journey.
