Blessings on Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! We have been home less than 4 weeks and we are are all still adjusting! This is to say that sometimes we have good days and sometimes bad days, but I continue to be thankful that I have been given the wonderful privilege of raising two amazing boys. Sometimes I just marvel at them and sometimes they drive me crazy! But either way, I love them the same. I imagine God looks at me this way. This week, I have had to ask for forgiveness many times. But God loves me just the same and today, as I sat in church, I felt that flooding of love come over me.

Because we adopted an older child, I haven't really felt like a "new mom." But today, God showed me that I am. Our pastor was giving out a rose for various "awards" and I was awarded a rose for being the newest mom (less than 1 month!). I just bursed into tears when the Pastor came to give me my rose...it was awesome to have Alan sitting right next to me so I could explain that he helped make me a new mom!

After church we went to a yummy brunch at the Herford House. We then packed up our things and went on a picnic which was my choice for fun. Here are some photos.
