I hope everyone had as nice a mother’s day as I did. Denis did most of the toddler chasing for the day, which meant I could sit and chat with my family for a while! He also gave me this lovely pendant – actually, though, he gave it to me two weeks ago so I’d have it for our family portraits.
This year I’m definitely not as reflective about the whole “being a mom thing” as I was last year. Don’t get me wrong, I still love being a mother and wouldn’t trade it for anything…most of the time. But I have to confess, it was all I could do not to crawl under the pew and disavow any relationship with my adorable little toddler when she spoke up in church. There were two baptisms this morning, and the priest had us all renew our baptismal vows. He asked the congregation, “Do you reject Satan, and all his works?” To which Carrie quite loudly and emphatically replied, “NO!”
And that about sums up my mother’s day.
