Happy Mother's Day

Well what a Mother's Day. Brad and the kids brought me yummy pancakes and raspberries in bed this morning. They were even so sweet as to sit in bed with me and "help" me eat the breakfast. They then gave me a card that talks and continually opened and closed it so I heard "Mom- Mom- Mom- Mom- Mom- several times in a row with them laughing all the while. Church was great. It was Sadie's first time to go up with the primary kids and sing the songs. She is one of those kids that smiles and waves the whole time once she realizes she can make eye contact with me from the front of the chapel. A proud mommy moment for me. This mother's day I have a lot to be thankful for. My great husband- my two great kids- and well I guess now is as good as a time as any to say that we will soon be a family of five. Yep- the Phillip's family is growing again and will be adding a new addition at the end of November. I am somewhat overwhelmed to think that I will soon have as many kids as my mom. I am always seeking her advice and will be even more now I am sure. She is the best mom and nana and I am so lucky to have such a great example and resource on how to be a good-no great mom. So there it is. I am feeling pretty good now that I am almost to my second trimester. A little tired- but I chase two very energetic kids around daily so that is to be expected. I love my kids and my life(that sounds cheesy but it's Mother's Day so give me a break). Sadie says this baby will be a girl- Drew says it will be a dog so we will see who wins. Dog is Drew's favorite word in case you didn't know. Alright- I'm done with the emotional cheesiness now- but I won't say that it might not creep in again in a future post- after all- I am pregnant.
