Photo Love: My Third Mother's Day

This Sunday was my third Mother's Day! I can't believe how blessed I have been since becoming a mom. Of course, the best part is my sweet Carter who just brings so much greatness to my life! There's nothing like watching your child grow. Just his smile is enough to make my day. And I love being able to see and understand the world through his eyes.







Every day of motherhood is a step of the journey and an opportunity to learn. Seriously, the way I see it is that becoming a mom has changed the way I look at life. It has helped me to be more appreciative and loving. And it made me realize that my main purpose in life is to be a mom, to have a family. Being a mom has allowed me to let love guide my life. How amazing is that?

Well, this Sunday, Carter joined me, my mom, my aunts, and my grandma on an outing at our favorite farm. The weather was fabulous and we just sat and laughed and enjoyed the scenery - while nibbling on fresh tarts and muffins. Carter had a blast rolling in the grass, gazing at all of the flowers, and visiting the little animals.
















Once Kyle was done work, it was his turn to spend some time with me (Trust me. I had a blast using the "it's my day" line). And we went out to see The Avengers. We had been dying to see it ever since it came out. Let's just say that I was not let down. Pretty awesome movie.

So, a day with my Carter and a night with my hubby... a lovely Mother's Day indeed!

Hope all you mamas had a great Mother's Day too!

Carter's 2nd Birthday!

My dearest Carter,

Whenever I look at you, I wonder what you are thinking, if you are happy, what your future will be like, and how I can give you or guide you to all of life's goodness. All I want is for you to have great experiences and happiness. So, it was so important to your daddy and to me that your 2nd birthday was a memorable one. We had so much fun planning your vintage plane birthday party, ordering handmade decorations from Mary Had A Little Party, and baking the blue fondant cake you had constantly asked for. Gladly, our mission was accomplished and we were thrilled to see that you loved every bit of your 2nd birthday party - from the moment you came down the stairs saying "WOW! NICE!" until the very end of the night. What a blessing you are, my sweetie! You are so vibrant and handsome and affectionate! Your daddy and I love you with all of our hearts!

With love,
Mommy
