Yes, I had a great mom's day. It really hit me though on Friday when I picked Paige up from daycare. She had made me a mom's day gift. The gift was in a bag with her hand prints all over it and a card on the outside that said to Mom...It hit me hard. I have other children. I love them to pieces and I was used to getting little hand made gifts throughout the years from them.. All very special. For some reason this gift choked me up in a very different way. It wasn't even what the gift was.. I hadn't even opened the bag yet.. it was the significance of this mother's day gift. It was like someone threw cold water on me and said..."Hey she is your daughter, you really are her mommy". It was an overwhelming feeling of crying and laughing at the same time. I really am this beautiful girl's mom. I couldn't be more her mom if I had given birth to her myself. It is like I just realized what a gift Paige is. Ok, I know I am getting corny but it was a very deep moment for me.
On Sunday, we started our day at the LAX field. It was freezing and my girl was not happy with the wind and the cold. We then went to my sister's in laws and had a reall nice bbq. My mom was there too, so that was nice. Coleton made an incredible acrostic poem about me. That boy knows me so well, and he is so on the money.. It made me cry, and his teacher had them make plates for the moms.. His was beauiful, and being the sensitive, caring boy that he is he signed it from him and his sister Paige. Kyle gifted me with my own travel coffee mug and starbucks gift card... I guess he didn't like that I was using his mug all the time.
Of course not so many picts of the day... but here are a few.

Happy Mother's Day Lisa! I was a bit emotional too...I really thought a lot about Hsin's Mom and wished she could see how awesome, funny, happy and loving her little girl has become! We are lucky Momma's that is for sure!
((hugs)) Well u already know I can be a mushball :) and this got me too!
I was the SAME way ~ felt the same as the other Mamas that have shared their thoughts in the comments too.
Been thinking a lot about Lauren's and Ty's other Mamas and it was a bit of a hard day for me. Why this year above all others? I'm not sure.....I couldn't post on it this year ~ I just couldn't.
But I'm smiling big right now, cuz I KNOW how incredibly fortunate we all are to have these precious gifts ~ our children!
The gifts from your boys sound just incredible!!
