The Mommy Book

I have been waiting from the time I first held Adam for the day when I would get homemade Mother’s Day presents that I could keep forever.  And that day has finally arrived! Besides the normal spoiling that Randy always bestows like brunch and pretty earrings, I was presented with this beauty: 

Adam explained that he used my favorite colors, then he remembered that my favorite color is grey (yes people, it’s a color) and explained that there was no grey so he used colors I would like.

Can you tell which one is me? I’m the lucky one with hands and feet 🙂 I’m also the only happy one, maybe because it’ s my special day.

So sweet that he chose a flower. Adam loves finding the local flower, kalachuchi, downstairs in the playground for me.  It’s also impressive he got my age right.

I love that Adam is so confident in my weightlifting skills and my job. All joking aside I love that he understands how much I like my job and always try to do the best I can at work. The gym, well I have been going more, but I am not quite lifting that much! Maybe someday.

I also never say I want to kiss you! I just kiss him loads so I guess he thinks of kisses when he thinks of me. Well, kisses, employment and the gym.

Hmmmm, I do laugh when he says something funny (wish is pretty often) but I don’t think I’ve even thrown him up in the air. Something to work on!

No words needed, he nailed this one.

I hope this is always true Adam!

And some selfies from Mother’s Day.  This one is a Mother’s Day post gym shot, when the kids had gone to a fun kid area downstairs while we took a fun boxing class. Win Win!

I know this may seem shocking but we all woke up like this, hard to believe. 
Even at 5 a.m. I am forever grateful that these two amazing little special boys made me a mom. I will treasure every moment while these two still want to hang out with me, because I know that before I even blink they will be too old to crawl into our bed at 5 am, or always want to sit on our laps when we’re out for dinner, or ask us tons questions about what they see or learn. So for now, I will soak in every second of it and thank my lucky stars!

Two more special cards from my two boys that I hung at work to brighten up my desk,

Side note, Randy and I both had the opportunity to observe the Philippine elections that just passed. it was quite an experience and even though I had to cut Mother’s Day short to head up north to a rural town in the mountains and Randy had to fly down to Mindanao it was a once on a lifetime opportunity. The Philippines had an 81% turnout for voters this year. They’re always above 70% but 81% is unbelievable! And these people wait on line for up to 4 hours in the +100 degree heat to be able to exercise their democratic right. It was a pretty impactful thing to witness.
