My first Mother's Day!

As if yesterday's baptism wasn't already great, I was blessed to be able to celebrate my first mother's day today!!! I felt really honored to stand up at church alongside all the other moms and receive a special blessing. Being a mom is hard work but it's also a tremendous honor and privilege. I am sooooo very blessed to be a mom to Zoe and to have such great examples of moms (my mom, Tita Bot, Ima, mama Flory, etc.) to learn from. I didn't think my first mother's day would hit me the way it did, but it really did! I was sooooo happy to be a mom and it was nice for other people to acknowledge me as part of an elite and strong group of women.

After mass, we continued the celebration at Master Chef with everyone. We also opened all of Zoe's baptism gifts (that girl got a lot of stuff) and stopped by the Salcedo residence on our way home for a Mother's day dinner.

Here's a link to the video of Zoe talking to Lala Flory: http://www.youtube.com/user/isudjati21?feature=mhsn#p/u/9/dPLHV9uFwGI

My first mother's day weekend was PERFECT in more ways than one and I can't wait to be able to mother Zoe and my future kids =). I hope to be able to draw strength and patience from Mother Mary so that I can be the best mother I can be to my children.
