so truly blessed

Before I went to bed last night, I wrote on my facebook how deliriously happy our children make me and being part of this 'club' called motherhood.  And nothing could be more true.  Nothing could be more important, nothing is more important. I've wrote a few things here, deleted, wrote, deleted, walked away not able to find the right words.  I've come back and have decided I don't need to describe how it feels to be Mommy.  All the mommies in the world already know this.  I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful Mothers Day....whether with your own children or with your Moms.

As I'm sure is the case in alot of your homes, Mothers Day traditionally involves breakfast in bed.  And this one was no different.  Johnathon went into work late so that he and the boys could let Mommy sleep in and get breakfast ready.  After a nice sleep in, I heard them creeping up the stairs and in they rushed.  Nicholas yelling Happy Mothers Day, hugs and kisses and so totally excited to give me his cards and gift he made (will post pic of the awesome necklace he made).  Shaney jumping on the bed just loving the excitement and well, eyeing my food, waiting to share!  Hubby enjoying the moments as well. 

And many thanks honey for the fab breakfast and coffee, the Lululemon GC (yay!) and the perfect card as always that made me cry.  I love you.  Thank you for being the other half of me...and for bringing these three beautiful children to me.

The rest of the day has been perfectly lazy with some tickle fights thrown in here and there.  Even Nicholas has opted out of going to the movies this afternoon so that we can watch movies at home instead.  3pm and we are all still in our comfies.  I love Sundays like these.  It's easy when the weather is as it is.  Cold. 

So, right now....I'm in between snuggling with Shane upstairs with his Thomas movie and downstairs with Nicholas' Marvel Superheroes movie.  And truly, I'm not watching the movies.....I am watching them.  Just lying there staring and watching these beautiful babies, amazed and blessed.  So very much so.

This was them this morning while we were playing around in Syds room -

This is a poem I 'borrowed' for my post today.  I thought it was sweet and touching... and wanted to share -

D is for Discipline, Diapers and Drawing
E is for Ear Infections, Lord knows we had those
F is for Father and a Family that grows
G is for Genetics and Giggles and Go
H is for Hugs and the Home we love so
I is Imagination and that darn Ice Cream truck
J is for Juice and Jelly and Junk
K is for Kindergarten, bringing tears to my eyes
L is for Listen and Little, White Lies
M is for Mom and Maternity Clothes
N is for Naps and your cute button Nose
O is for Ovaries, Outdoors and Obsessed
P is Potty Training, Pizza and Pets
Q is my voice saying Quickly! or Quiet!
R is Rashes and Reading and Riot
S is your Safety, which is what matters most

Just being your Mother, is an incredible gift
When my morale is down, you give it a lift
With a touch or a hug or the sound of your voice
I know that Motherhood was my greatest choice.
My marriage to your Daddy, made me a Wife
But when you were born…YOU gave ME life.
