Mother's Day

On this day seven years ago, I was pregnant and graduating with my Master's degree. Eddy gave me a peridot earring and necklace as a Mother's Day/graduation gift, since our baby was due in August. Such a fun time in our lives! So many exciting things to look forward to. As it turned out, I passed the national certification exam and Isaac was born the same day Eddy was set to start his new job as head baseball coach at UW-Superior. With all of the new stuff going on in our lives, being a mother was the most overwhelming but amazing thing I had ever done.


And on this day four years ago, I celebrated Mother's Day with an awesome 2 1/2 year old and being 7 1/2 months pregnant. Eddy gave me a "two peas in a pod" necklace, in anticipation of being a mom of two. And on June 14, ten days before her due date, we had a girl! Piper Isabelle. When I think about that day, I am still shocked that we had a girl. And I had the labor and delivery that we had planned on and worked so hard for. She was perfect.


And on this day one year ago, I got to be witness to my sister and her husband tell our parents that after over two years of fertility issues, they were going to be parents. What an awesome day that was.

And today. I am so blessed to be the mom of these two awesome kids. They fulfill me with such joy. I am amazed that God gave them to me. What a gift.
