I had such a meaningful Mother's Day. I guess I've had 3 so far (1 while pregnant, and 2 since Justice was born), but this year stood out. Maybe it is just because I have another year of mothering under my belt and I have gotten to know and love my son all the more. Maybe it is because I am in the USA this year, and therefore just around more Mother's Day-ish sentiments (seeing cards in the store, hearing people talk about it, etc). But I feel like God did something specific in my heart. Starting in church that morning, He was really filling my heart with deeper love for my son, and for my husband. I've also realized how often I think of my own mom throughout the days as I try to figure out how to handle each situation with my son. I honor and appreciate her! I walked away from the day with a new charge to love Jesus in a way that Justice will learn to love Him too. What an amazing privilege (and responsibility!) it is to be a mother!

After church, Brian surprised me by taking me and his mom (and Justice of course) out to dinner at a rustic restaurant that has a vineyard as part of the grounds.
