Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Prov 31:28
I started the morning with three gifts from my hubby and kiddos:
A Flower Pillow from my boy
A "Chocolate-covered Strawberry" from my girl
And My Ssekos!!
Then, we went to see the African Children's Choir
It was awesome!! I thought it might be a little hard to see such sweet little kiddos from the same continent as our children that we are waiting so {im}patiently for, but honestly, it was so good for my heart!
We then went to Trevor's parents' house for lunch {we celebrated with my mom the week before} and then home for a NAP!! Yep, you read correctly...I got to take a nap. I had one kiddo on each side of me, even though I was the only one who slept. It was heavenly! :)
I am so, so thankful for the mothers in my life. I really spent the day reflecting on how blessed I am to have such an amazing mom and mother-in-law and to have the opportunity to raise my two sweet, beautiful kids. In addition, I love having the opportunity to do this stage of life with so many supportive friends {and my sister and sisters-in-law} who also have the same struggles and wins with their kids and who help keep me accountable for being the best mom I can be.
Thank you, Jesus, for always placing the right people in my life at just the right time!
