My first Mother's Day as a mother was full of special treats! The most special part of the day was during the Sunday morning service when Dan and I dedicated Amelia to the Lord. Dan talked for a couple of minutes about Amelia- how special she was and explained that our greatest hope for her is to come to love the Lord more than she loves us. The pastor shared a few words and then prayed for us as Amelia's parents, for Amelia, and for the church family that commited to come alongside and support us. That is definitely a memory I will treasure forever! A photographer that is a member of our church took some pictures during the ceremony and right after- I will put up those pictures as soon as we get them. For now, enjoy this picture we took right after church.
The other treats I enjoyed on my 1st Mother's day included a special breakfast with a favorite drink- chocolate milk, a dozen roses, chocolate brownies, a trip to Marble Slab (my favorite ice-cream place), and dark chocolate and strawberries to make in our fondue pot. I also plan to take Amelia to a pottery place this week and to put her little footprint onto something (a plate, or picture frame or something).
Amelia was not enjoying the camera on Mother's day- all the pictures we tried to get she would start screaming. We took a lot of pictures to just get the few here that came out pretty well. Enjoy!
