Happy Mother's Day!

I want to do a post to wish all of the mothers in my life a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I have been so blessed in my life to have a wonderful mother, a great mother-in-law, awesome grandma, fantastic godmother, terrific great grandmothers and so many other women who have been such a big part of my life. And it is time to think of all of the women who were once a part of my life (my grandmother, great-grandmother and godmother's mom) who Berk will never know, and it really saddens me. These women in my life are such amazing people and it is such a great privilege to know that Berk will be able to look back and see that all of them have played as much of a role in her life as they have in mine! So thank you to all of you mothers who have had such an awesome influence on me! As for motherhood itself, I didn't ever think it would impact every part of my being like it has, but man, it is one AWESOME THING! Berkley is the greatest gift I could ever have been given and I thank God everyday that she is as happy and healthy as she is! I know that other mothers in my family feel the same way about motherhood and I know of one who will soon be experiencing the sheer pleasure of holding a precious baby in your arms and knowing that it is all yours! (You know who you are! :)) I think that everyone always wonders about whether they will be a good mother or not and whether you will mess your kid up in more than one way and I can't say that I don't have those thoughts also, but I think the true testament to your motherly abilities is when that sweet angel looks up at and smiles at you or reaches up to you and you know that you are doing an A.O.K job! So, thank you so much all of you mothers in my life for all of the wonderful things you have helped me see and experience and for impacting the way I am a mother in every way imagineable! Here is picture of me and my sweet angel and I am posting tons more on the photo site of the FFA Banquet on Thursday night, our outdoor playday on Friday, softball game yesterday in San Angelo (go Rambelles!) and this morning with daddy! Hope you have fun looking through them and have a terrific Mother's Day!
