Mother's Day

This post is long overdue but I want to thank my girls and my amazing husband for an extraordinary Mother's Day. I woke up to beautiful flowers from Dugald and sweet hand-made cards (and a generous Amazon gift card) from the girls. I was interviewed at church about my decision to be a full-time stay-at-home mom, and while I felt like I did a horrible job many people since have thanked me and told me it was encouraging - I blush every single time someone comes up to me because I thought I was useless but I did pray that God would use my words to bring encouragement and once again I'm humbled by His faithfulness. 

After church and some fun time hanging out together the girls cleaned the house for me and Meggie, Katie and Dugald made me a delicious dinner.

I went for a nice long walk while they shopped for groceries. I snuck into the kitchen a few times to snap some pics but otherwise I stayed out of the way and just listened to the chaos from afar. I have to hand it to Dugs, he likes cooking about as much as he likes doing our American taxes but such is his love for me that he stuck it out. I don't deserve any of these people!!

Katie was in charge of the main (with Daddy) and she chose to make one of my favorites - shrimp piccata. Yum!!

Meggie chose dessert duty and she picked a delicious concoction of bananas covered in cornflakes and baked, with ice cream and berries. She knows I love anything with bananas and this didn't disappoint.

It was all delicious and I ended the day feeling totally loved and totally undeserving of the sweet people God has given me. Thank you family!!
