Happy Mommy's Day

I hope Mother's Day was wonderful for all of the moms out there! I agree with what my friend Allison says in her Mother's Day post – It is a special blessing to be a mom! This year was extra special because we had Abby's dedication at church. Our church traditionally has the service on Mother's Day and she was too young to go last year. The rest of the day was very relaxing. Steve, Abby, and I spent the day playing with toys and video games. It was too windy and rainy to play outside, so we just goofed off indoors. All in all, it was a wonderful day.

Here we are after the service.

I tried to get more organized by using this wicker basket.
However,Abby has adopted it as her reading place.


and her new, compact play pen.


and her new napping spot.
Ok, not really, she was just
pretending.
