First Mother's Day

I had a great day yesterday joining the great ranks of mother's nationwide! Don't we look cute? We travelled down to Louisville with my parents and my sister's family to surprise my grandmother at church. We also brought lunch to share with everyone including my aunt's family. It was a great time. I put together little brag books for the grandmas and great-grandmas with pictures of Davey. Of course, they loved it.

That evening we went to the Shaw side like we do every week. And so we had a full day of family. But also a full day of Davey being in his car seat...which he hates! I am getting used to sitting in the back next to him so that he calms down a little quicker. I actually am not sure if it helps him ,but it makes me feel like I am doing something! Josh's parents opened up their pool on Friday and now we just have to wait for the water to warm up. Well, Josh's nephews didn't wait...but there is no way I am getting in there! We will have to see how quicly the heat they bought can warm up the water.

To answer the obvious question...I LOVE BEING A MOM! And now I love my own mother more, because I understand how much she must love me. Josh and I will slip away from Davey for an hour or so here and there, but I always get so happy to come back to him. I love that I have the power to calm him down no matter what. I love that I can provide everything that he needs. Though my life has changed since he was born just 6 weeks ago, I love it. And I can't wait to continue on.
