being a mom is....

This year was my first Mother's Day so I thought I'd do a little post about it. (Yep, I know it's a week late, but well that's life as a new mom.) Ben and Rhone did a great job of making it special. I got some yummy Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast and Rhone must have known it was a special day because he slept in past 9:00. I also got photoshop so I've been having fun learning how to use it. We took the picture on the right just before we went to church. Most days I don't feel like a mom, but then I have these little moments where I realize that I am. A few days ago, I was locking up the house for the night and saw Rhone's little hand knit dinosaur next to all my work stuff and in that little moment I though, yep, I really am a mom. I've learned how nice it is to sleep for 8 hours straight, how hard it is to get curly hair out of little chubby fingers, and how exciting it is to watch Rhone learn new skills. It's been such a blessing and a growing experience to have little Rhoneburts in our lives (and my and Ben's moms too, who give us lots of love and appreciated advice).
