Huge Mother’s Day chalk message on the driveway from Karlie!

I am blessed.  Yesterday I was reminded again of how much God has given me.  A family that loves me despite all my imperfections.  Jake and the girls showered me with love on Mother’s Day.  Even though Jake was on call this Mother’s Day weekend and was a little busier than normal, he made time to celebrate.  It was a great day with the family.

They made me breakfast in bed.  We went to church.  Jake and the girls made an amazing lunch.  That afternoon we relaxed, read books together, opened gifts, played games, and had fun.  Thankful for my family and a chance to spend the day together.   Their thoughtfulness made me feel loved and appreciated.

Breakfast in bed – cheesy scrambled eggs, ham, and sauteed mushrooms! Delicious!

Fresh flowers from the girls (they got them from Children’s Church)

Putting together the pinwheel steaks!

They choose what ingredients to stuff the steak with for lunch

 Pinwheel steaks ready to go into the oven!

Stuffed with tomatoes, swiss cheese, goat cheese, bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, sunflowers, cranberries, and more goodies!

My steak was AMAZING!

 Huge stuffed portobello mushroom!  Stuffed with spinach, hummus, and topped with toasted granola – so tasty!

Mother’s Day cards from Jake and the girls.  Karlie’s was the kitten and Brina’s the puppy.

Brina picked out a beautiful pink rose bush for me!

Karlie picked out a gorgeous red rose bush for me!

Adorable handmade flowers from my girls!  Brina made the bright yellow one and Karlie made the blue and red one!

A place to sit and talk with Jake or read with the kids.  Very comfy!

 Sweet note from Brina.  The top says “I am thankful to have a Mom like you because you are nice to me and play with me.”   The bottom has a cute little poem!

Vibrant Mother’s Day drawing from Karlie

 Sweet poem and note from Karlie on the back of her drawing.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

But no one a flower,

Just like you!

Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you are having a nice and relaxing day.  Do you like the card and rose?  The rose is a rare blue rose that only grows on Neptune!  May you please read to me on the deck? 

Thankful for my family!  I treasure these times we have together.  I am blessed.
