my first mother's day

Yesterday we celebrated mother's day. I am so thankful for my wonderful mother. All the sacrifices she made for us growing up and all the sacrifices she makes for us now...even when she does not have to. I now understand that as a mom you want to make those sacrifices for your children. Although Kate is only 5 months old I have already experienced the act of sacrifice. It is so easy to sacifice things for someone you love so much. It is still hard to believe that I am a mom. Sometimes I think, "Am I old enough to have a child???" I still feel so young at times but then again I feel so old. I could not ask for things to be any different though. I absolutley love all the challenges and joys that come with being a mom. It is such a hard job and takes so much energy but at the end of the day when I am totally exhausted and can't wait to sleep, I can't help but praise God for this beautiful child he has entrusted Kameron and I with. Parenthood is such an amazing blessing.
