Isn't She Lovely

Today finds me thankful for my mother.

The oldest of 10 children. Wife of 37 years. Mother to Jane (34) and John (32). Breast cancer survivor. A school teacher for too many years to count... who, by the way, will be retiring in a matter of weeks!!

Here she is at our wedding last June. As beautiful as ever.


When I found out a few months ago that Gareth and I are expecting our first child this October, my mother was the person I was most excited to tell...

She was SO happy! I could almost hear her dancing over the phone ;)

And so, today also finds me looking forward to being a mother.

Yes, Gareth and I are preparing for baby (we'll find out the gender in 1 more month), and this Mother's Day is a milestone. The first holiday that we see through the eyes of family. It is an adjustment, but one that has brought us closer and made us a stronger couple.

There are likely many more adjustments on the horizon. We can't wait!
