Saturday was spent getting a massage, make that a hot stone massage, eating the tastiest pizza and wine in the Woodlands, and going grocery shopping for our picnic foods for Mother's Day. The weekend was not particularly pretty out, but Elizabeth more than made up for that with her smiles and laughs and everyone who saw her giggles and tells us how beautiful she is.
Sunday we got up and went to Church. I wanted to pray for my angel and me. God has been so good to us, giving us little E, keeping us safe and watching over us. I want Him to help me be the best Mother and Wife I can be. It was a great Mass, even got to see 2 baptisms, which I thought was quite a special Mother's Day gift for those women.
Next we left for the nearest Arboretum with Elizabeth's grandparents, drank wine and had some snacks. It was a nice day out, not hot but pleasant and she was content to sit in her stroller and listen to us chat and try and blow bubbles her way (note to self...don't buy cheap bubbles).
The only thing I regret is not getting any pictures of me and her together. Wanted to post one of us all dressed up in our Mother's Day attire. Busy morning for me on this 1st Mother's Day. But I guess I will more than make up for that in the years to come.
She has changed my life, changed the way I feel about my own Mother, she is making me a better Christian and helping me to enjoy all the little things in life. The "stop and smell the roses" quote runs through my head a lot since she got here.
Monday, May 11, 2010 Elizabeth turned 8 months old. She pulled herself up for the first time. I didn't even have to help her. One more thing she doesn't need her Momma for. One more step closer to being independent, but it was (watch out, it's about to be a cheesy moment)one more step closer into my heart.
"Making a decision to have a child--it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." - Elizabeth Stone
