.gymnastics.
We signed Savannah up for 6 weeks of gymnastics this spring and it was a lot of fun. This is the first activity we've had just for her, so it was fun watching her get excited about that. She's so tiny compared to the other girls in the class, but I think she actually has quite the gymnast body, so this could definitely be her "thing". It was cute...we've got to work on her coordination...very funny to watch!

motherhood
Every year when mother's day comes around I become so filled with emotion its at times hard for me to embrace it.
I'm so thankful for my own mom that its unbelievable to me. She's someone that I consider a true confidant, a best friend and honestly, someone I truly enjoy being around. There's something about my mom that understands me at my core. She's been there for me in the brightest of times and she's been there during some of my darkest times and in the midst of every time, she's been there without judgment but with guidance and advice (and many times, there to laugh with me and there to cry with me). Its inexpressible the blessing she is to me in my life and to the life of my children as their grandma. She's lovely and precious and beautiful inside and out.
I'm also thankful for my mother-in-law. She's a woman of incredible strength. I look up to her in so many ways and consider her someone that I can go to if I need to bounce ideas off of and get advice. I genuinely enjoy her presence and love spending time just shooting the breeze. She's also someone who constantly is thinking of others before herself (even at her own expense at times). She's an example to me on how to be hospitable and how to be a good host. I enjoy her in so many ways. She is an incredible grandma to my children and to my niece and nephews as well. We are all so blessed to have her.
And, when it comes to me thinking about my children and how God gave me these specific children, I'm overwhelmed with amazement and joy. I don't feel worthy, at times, to be their mom but so thankful that I am. I'm thankful for their personalities that are fully developing, for their expressions and sense of humor. I'm thankful that they stretch me in every way possible. They make me want to be a better person and they challenge me to look at myself and see areas that I need to change and improve upon. They are lovely and I'm so thankful and humbled to be a mom. As we sit here in all our morning of mother's day bad hair and puffy faces, I'm thankful for every minute I get to be a part of their lives.
