Blessings!!

The past week has been about God's rich blessings! As you know, Matt's dad, Hal, started off the week with a seizure Monday morning which sent him into respiratory failure. Throughout this week, we have thanked the Lord over and over for sparing his life Monday morning, and we are continuing to praise Him as Matt's dad continues to heal. His surgery will be Wednesday at some point. I am not sure of the time, but I will post that as soon as I know. But, this post is going to be about other people who have blessed our lives....our mothers!

We had the most wonderful Mother's Day weekend! This was the first Mother's Day that Matt's parents have been here for us to celebrate with both of our mothers. And, what a weekend of celebrating it was!

Matt and I cooked dinner Saturday night for my mom. We had such a good time visiting with Mimi and Papa. It is overwhelming when I stop to think about what an amazing mom I have. She is one of the most selfless servants I know. She is such an inspiration to me! Then, to top it off, I have a precious daughter who makes my life so much sweeter! AND (yes there is more), my daughter gets to know my mother! This is not something I take for granted, and I pray for those women out there who did not have their mothers here to celebrate with.

Here are a few pictures from our dinner...pardon the "glow" I am sporting. Our air went out Saturday afternoon, and it was a little bit warm for this pregnant lady. =)

What a beautiful girl!!

After church on Sunday, we went over to Matt's parent's to eat more delicious food and celebrate Matt's mom and grandmothers. Matt's mom has been such a gift to Matt and to me! I am so grateful to have a mother-in-law who loves the Lord. She is one of the few people I know who takes the time to listen and hear what the Lord is telling her. That is such a gift! She is such an inspiration to me, and I am so glad that Maggie knows her Nana!

Maggie with her Aunt Kim "Tim"....Maggie wore a dress from when I was a little girl. My mom made it for me. So special that she can wear it, too.
Matt's sweet grandmothers!
Nana Sue always does the most fun things! Maggie loves, loves bubbles!
