What a day! While this isn't my first Mother's Day, Ethan was only 5 days old last year, and it was kind of a blur, so this one was also special. I was able to attend church for the first time on Mother's Day, as a Mommy, and I must say, my emotions got the best of me. For so many years, Mother's Day was the toughest day for me to be in church. During those years of infertility and even while we were waiting for adoption, those services were a challenge for me to get through, and much less to even try to think about worshipping. Today, as mothers were celebrated, and I was among them, it was a very different and wonderful feeling. I couldn't help though but think about Ethan's birthmother, and the ultimate sacrifice that she made to make our dreams come true. Her courageous love made this day possible for me, and I will be eternally grateful to her for choosing to bring this precious life into the world, and am so humbled and thankful to God that He chose me to be Ethan's Mommy.
We spent the afternoon playing with the new camera lens (which I LOVE) that Ethan and Tyson gave me for Mother's Day. Ethan's other surprise gift to me was that he, for the 1st time, did not shed a tear when I dropped him off in the nursery, where he played without tears during Sunday School and church! To top it all off, he also did a LOT of walking this afternoon. I am so blessed by this precious boy's presence in my life and the joy that he is each and everyday!
Happy Mother's Day!
