Happy Mother's Day....



I thought about all the presents
that would be wonderful to receive for Mother's Day....


...and I remembered I already have everything I have ever dreamed of!!!!



I have the sweetest little man that I cuddle endlessly....

...and a little miss that stole my heart from the moment we met.




...and now we await another sweet one to add further joy.

All of these gifts are sooo much better
than anything I could ever find in a ribboned box.



I guess the dearest present was
that I was raised by an incredible Mom.
She has been my inspiration and support,
and my role model all my life.

I have been so blessed.

One more blessing....check out this video.


It touched my heart and I know it will touch yours.

True words Annelies, the love of your family is so much worth. That is the biggest present in life! Happy Mothers day, to you, your Mom, daughter and daughter in law. groetjes, Yvonne

That video is the most beautiful tribute to motherhood. I'm sitting here crying (pregnancy hormones???) and excitedly anticipating d-day when I can cuddle, smell, kiss and stare at my newest baby alongside my first baby. There is absolutely NO better gift than the gift of my family.

Thank you for the lovely post. I agree -- family is one of God's most precious gifts! Bittersweet Mother's Day for me -- my mom is no longer physically present, but I know she's with the Lord and celebrating mightily! My daughters and granddaughters both live out of town, but I treasure our visits above all things! God is so good!
