Happy Mother's Day

I am so thankful for my mom and my mom in law. I am so spoiled to have them. My mom is an amazing woman. She is very patient, loving and happy. I have learned so many things from her. She is such a great example of selfless giving. She has sacrificed so much for our family. As I get older I notice things I do just like my mom and it makes me smile. I look up to her a lot. She is always thrilled to listen to me talk about my day, no matter how boring and always has words of encouragement for the rough days.

Jason's mom is also an amazing woman. She is so organized and thoughtful. She raised Jason to be smart, driven, loving and honest. All traits I admire in both of them. Jason's mom is also a great example of continuous learning. I love that she takes piano lessons and learned how to quilt. I want that. I want to always have something new I'm learning and doing. I'm so thankful for such great examples as I'm just starting out as a mother.

I had a fabulous mothers day yesterday! It was of course my first and I enjoyed it so much. Jason made breakfast and I got an adorable gift from Calder (and Jason).

Jason also spoke in church. I think that was a great present. He did a fantastic job and I really am thankful I got to hear his comments. He always does a great job speaking. Calder fell asleep during it. I was even sitting down in the congregation! That never happens. What a gift.

I love being a mom. I am so happy with my life (even though it involves a lot of packing at this point). Calder is such a great baby and I love teaching him new things. He seems to understand so much. He is getting so good at expressing his emotions. I love it. I want to be able to see every milestone he reaches and I want to be a constant influence for good for him. Jason and I both have moms who set great examples for us. I have much to learn, but I have great teachers.
