Happy Mother's Day














Happy Mother's Day to my MC girls, Wilmington girls, Raleigh girls, VA girls and of course Mom and Cynthia! What a fun day it was. The weather was a little nasty but we didn't let that dampen (literally) our spirits. Eliza and I woke up at about 6:30 - drank 4 oz and then we took a little nap - by 7:30 it was time to get ready for church. We met mom and dad at the 9:45 service and then went to the Oceanic for a nice lunch. Eliza slept through everything but woke up hungry when the food arrived - imagine that! It was a wonderful morning spent with mom and dad.
We then scooted home, loaded up Suzy and headed to Whiteville. Eric's Grandpa celebrated a birthday on Friday so the whole family came over to eat a Jones Family feast and hang out. It was so good to see everyone. Eliza enjoyed all the attention. I have never seen her smile as big as she did when Eric's second cousin, Brooke picked her up and held her. She thought she was beautiful - she is!
We got home about 7:00 PM - we were all wiped out! Eric, Eliza and Suzy gave me my Mother's Day card and gift - looks like I will be spending some time at the SPA! YEAH!
It was a very special day - one that I hoped to celebrate for a long a time and it was everything I dreamed it would be - thank God for it!
Eric's Grandpa will be having knee surgery this morning so please keep him and the doctors and nurses in your prayers this week - we want a speedy recovery!
Love to you all - CHL
