It was a happy day indeed for this new mom, complete with cards from my handsome hubby and darling daughter, pancakes for breakfast, mother's day wishes from the women to whom I've always sent greeting cards, and pepperoni and pineapple pizza (my favorite) for dinner with my little family. Oh, and hanging the colorful fan (thanks Mom!) in what will soon be Abby's room (thanks Justin!). I'll admit, this whole mom thing is still a bit surreal, even after almost nine months of Abby cuteness in my life.
Thanks to the women who shaped my life: to my mom, who gave selflessly and tirelessly, and to my grandmother, who has always been there for me. Thanks to the women who shaped my husband's life: to his mom, who showed him what a Godly wife and mother should be; and to his grandmother, for her intense love for her family.
Justin told me before we got married that his was a family of strong women, and he knew I would fit right in (a great compliment, and a high standard). To those strong women, and to the strong women who made me who I am, I wish a happy mother's day. I pray Abby will be able to look back one day and be as thankful as I am for the women in this family.
