Such a great day!

Today, Lana had a Mother's Day Tea party at her school. She's been talking about it for 2 weeks! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it due to transportation issues, but between Tom and I we worked it out. I wouldn't have bene able to handle the heartbroken look on her face if I hadn't been able to make it. When she started school I swore that that I was going to be as involved as possible in her school activities. I really wanted to be one of those hands on parents. Unfortunatly, life happened and that's not always possible. But being only 6, she doesn't understand that. So I was very glad when I was able to go today.

So, I get to the school and waited outside her class. The minute she saw me her little brown eyes lit up and totally melted my heart. After we got to our seats, the kindergarteners went up to the carpet and sang 2 songs and a poem. It was SO cute. Lana didn't take her eyes off me the whole time. After the performance, we sat down and were served tea and cupcakes that the kids made the day before.

After our snack, we went to the carpet and listened to a story. It was called "I'll Love You Forever" It's about how a mother loves her child no matter how old he/she gets. By the end of the story I was crying. I was thinking about a few different things. First I was thinking about both of my children, I was told that I'd never be able to conceive children naturally. So my kids truly are miracles that I thank God for every day. I was also thinking about my mother and how much I miss her. My last thought of course, was of my mother in law, and how much I still miss her.

It's nice when our kids do stuff for us, so this mother day whether your mother is alive or with you in spirit, make sure you let her know how much you love her and how much you appreciate everything she's done for you.

Happy Mothers day to all you mommies out there!
