Mother, May I?

So Sunday was my first official Mother's Day. Danny made me a delicious breakfast and we feasted while sitting on our front porch swing. Then I did some yardwork before church. I brought in lovely, grape-scented iris (my favorites!) and refreshed all the vases in the house. I wore my favorite "little black dress" and felt pretty and girly all morning. It was a gorgeous day filled with simple pleasures like worshipping my God, eating with our dear friends, the Bunnings and snoozing in our basement. The only thing missing was the REASON I get to celebrate Mother's Day. Ru wasn't here but she will be next year! Lord, thank you for Reagan RuXian! Please watch over her as the days fall away and our gotcha moment draws near.
