Mother's Day

My sweet little cuddle bug
This was actually the second mothers day that we celebrated as last year I was still pregos and we did not even know that we were having a girl yet. The day was fabulous and a good time to reflect on the whole idea of motherhood.

I am realizing more and more that the one thing that I want for Hallel is that she know Jesus Christ personally and that she walks in the reality of her Salvation all of her days. Nothing else truly matters. I realize that a conversation about this might be many years off but I have this huge opportunity right now to display the love of Christ to her and live out my faith before her. What an awesome challenge! I am so thankful for Josh's and my mother who did just this for us.

As far as the day goes, we had a great day at church with the body of Christ then had some Mexican food outside (my favorite) and Hallel blessed us with her first major poopf the day. She had it everywhere! How it got behind her ear I will never know. Then we took a beautiful drive towards Stinson beach and ended up at the Depot (another one of my favorites) for some B&R ice cream! Then we hung out at home and while Josh made me breakfast for dinner Hallel exploded yet again. It was comical by this time. We had poo all over the both of us and so this time we just stripped her down and gave her a bath. Finally, we watched the finale of Amazing Race (we were rooting for Margie and Luke). It was a wonderful day and my sweet husband made it very special! I love being a mommy!!!
