Mother's Day is always extra special for me because that is the day when our son was born. 17 years ago on this date Tim was born at a little after 6am weighing 7lbs 13oz & 20 1/2" long. I love that he and I will always have that bond from when he was born.
He is growing into an amazing young man and I'm so thankful that I get to celebrate his birthday and Mother's Day together with him this year. It doesn't always fall that way but when it does it's an extra special day. In honor of Mother's Day I wanted to share a pic of me pregnant, Tim when he was first born & Tim now.
Being a mom of a boy with tons of energy has been challenging to say the least. I love my life as a mom. Being a boy mom is like being on a roller coaster ride that never stops. They are all over the place bouncing around like an out of control ball. It's certainly never boring. He's kept me on my toes and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's been the best life raising Tim. It's hard to believe that next year he will graduate High School. It seems like time has gone by so fast but we sure have cherished every moment with our boy. We have taken the time to enjoy the entire journey as parents making memories that will last a lifetime. God has been so good to us and we are eternally grateful.
I want to shift gears now and take a moment to recognize these 3 incredible women in my life and wish them a very Happy Mother's Day!!!
These 3 women are so incredibly special to me. One gave me life, one pointed me to Christ and showed me His unconditional love & one gave me my husband. The top pic in the pic above is of me with my mom, Mary. She married my dad at 17 before ever finishing HS. A month into their marriage she became pregnant with me, or so they tell me..hehehe. Even though she was still very young herself having babies she did the best she knew how to do being such a young mother. She went back and got her diploma when my youngest sister was in the head start program many years later. I'm so proud of her for doing that because most women back then didn't. The blonde lady in the pic above is Anne. She is my spiritual mom and has left such a huge imprint on my heart and life for God. I learned so much about the kind of woman of God that I wanted to be from her example. My faith is what it is today because she has always shown me the love of Christ and treated me like I was one of her own children. We have an amazing bond to this day. The oldest lady in the pic above is my mother-in-law(love), Doris. She loves her family immensely. It has been such a blessing to know such a spit fire of a woman all these years since marrying Scot. I'm so thankful for her because without her there would've never been a Scot or Tim. Because of her I have two of the most wonderful gifts ever who mean everything to me!
God Bless All Mom's! May your Mother's Day be filled with blessings overflowing!!!
