Mother's Day

After all these years, who would have ever thought that I would be celebrating Mother's Day???  What a special day it was for me just to reflect on the gift that God has given us and to look forward (even more) to meeting him in person.

As excited as I am to hold him in my arms, I am trying to treasure these last few weeks/ days of holding him in my belly.  What a joy this pregnancy has been for us! 

I received flowers from not only David, but also from my friend Penny (a fellow missionary).  We spent Saturday afternoon with her and her husband doing some mentoring and she gave me an early Mother's Day gift.

On Sunday morning we attended a local church and then went out to eat.

We chose a place we have never been to before but pass it on our way to school everyday.  It had a lovely garden and a beautiful volcano view.

This is where we ate.  We love outdoor eating!

I had a great day.  I can't imagine that this time next year we'll have an almost 1 year old!  What an awesome Mother's Day that is going to be!
