Motherhood~
There's nothing I'd rather do, there's nothing I'd rather be, there's nowhere I'd rather go.
Because being here with my family-- this good and perfect gift from my heavenly Father--
being God's work-in-progress sort of mom... that's my highest calling.
So after a beautiful day... a perfect day with them,
I give thanks to the One who made it all possible~

Hurray! Everyone is looking at the end. Awesome! Thanks for being such a mentor mom to me... you do a lovely job in showing and instructing me how to lead my little ones in the fear and admonition of the Lord... iron sharpens iron sister! Happy Mother's Day - a little late! Sounded like you had a great day!
Lovely post.
I just love that last one! Your kiddos all look older than their sidebar pics ... they're growing!! ;)
Miss Lollipop's hair is getting long, too ... how precious is she?!
You are so blessed, Heather! Sounds like you had a great Mother's Day!!
You capture God's blessings so well, Heather. Your words paint a such beautiful pictures. And your photos are always so inspiring too.
Certainly our God looks upon your little clan and smiles.
Praying that you are blessed beyond measure this week!
Such great photos! Beautiful family! Happy Mama's day to you, Heather.
Happy Mother's Day once again! The pictures are great(Thought Fergie and the Gray Ghost would be there too!) Sounds like a great day! I'm so happy for you and proud to be your Mom. Lots of love to you and the rest of the clan! P.S. I've been looking for G's special delivery, it hasn't arrived yet!
I love the pictures Heather. It looks and sounds like a perfectly wonderful Mother's Day. I'm so glad.
yay! It sounds like you had a most blessed day... and I get the idea that it is not a day that necessarily outshines others, it sounds like your days are filled with blessing! You have a beautiful family. You are truly blessed :)
