Happy Mommy's Day!

Happy Mommy's Day! I had a great day and great weekend with the family. I missed seeing my Mom today (she is in Chicago visiting my sister), but I talked to her a couple of times and wished her a very Happy Mother's Day. She definitely deserves it. My Mom and I had our rough times growing up, but I thinking becoming a Mom has really opened my eyes to how much she cares for me and loves me. Thanks for all you have done and do for me Mom! You are the best!!

Today, we had plans to head to the Children's Museum but unforuntately, when we got there, it was closed for renovations. Bummer! But it was a nice down in downtown and they had an art festival going on so we walked around for a bit. It was really nice. Then we headed out to dinner and now the kids are in bed, and we are just chilling getting ready to watch some TV. Ted surprised me last night with two Tiffany's charms for my bracelet - one with the letter B and one with the letter M. It was cute because he had Brody hand me the boxes and he told me "Happy Mother's Day Mommy!" It was the best. I truly am blessed.

Little Miss Molly has started to boycott her bottles the last couple of days and I don't know why. We think she might be teething and her gums hurt, but they aren't red and swollen, but I can't figure out what else it is. She doesn't seem hungry either, which is weird. She just started this yesterday and Ted fed her tonight because I have been getting a little frustrated with it today. She cried pretty much the entire time. We tried to switch the bottle nipples to the fast flow ones to see if that would help and she did take the bottle, but still cried the whole time. I sure hope it is teething and this starts to subside soon. We shall see.

Brody decided to boycott his nap today! (what is it with my kids acting up on Mother's Day!) He didn't cry, but he just wouldn't lay down in his bed and go to sleep. We left him in there for a couple of hours and he played the whole time. Shockingly, he wasn't grumpy this afternoon and he got a little sleepy in the car, but he got his second wind and did just fine at dinner. Then we put him down around 7:00 and he was out at 7:15. Normally he will play for a little bit and then get in bed around 8:00. Not tonight....he was tuckered out.

My computer is slow again so I am going to try and post some more pics tomorrow, but I just want to you see how blessed I am that these two little kiddies have entered my life. Brody, who I consider our miracle baby, since it took us almost three years and multiple negative pregnancy tests to have. And, little Miss Molly, who amazes me everyday with her personality and the way she lights up when I come in the room. I thank God everyday for giving me the opportunity to be there Momma and I can't even put into words the depth to which I love them. I am so thankful for this gift I have been given and I do not take a minute of it for granted. They are my life and I can not wait to continue on this journey and see the amazing people they will become!!
