My first Mother's Day was wonderful! I got to spend it with my little man and my mom! It is a little harder to juggle your own mother's day when you are the children's minister and have parent/child commitment, but it worked out pretty good. I sure was tired at the end of the day though! My parents came in town for the weekend and watched Luke during the morning when Mark and I went to church early. They got him ready and met us at church.
Mark and I spoke together for a few minutes to our families and parents about the role they play in their child's "God Story." We also told a few funny stories of our first few months of being parents. We challenged all parents to write a letter to their child by Father's Day to be given to them at some point in the future (wedding, graduation, when become a Christian, etc.)
Mark and Luke....aren't they cute!?!
We could never get Luke to smile in pics with me, but got him to do it here! LOVE this one!
Luke and Honey
He was very tired!
went to watch Baylor play in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 and then I spent my last week of maternity leave at my parents in East Texas (Honey & Papa). 
We celebrated Easter on Saturday in Tyler and then drove back to spend Easter here at our church and the afternoon with Mark's side of the family. Since then we have pretty much just stayed here working and playing! I am gearing up for lots of Summer Activities at church! It sure takes a lot more creative thinking and planning to get all my stuff done around Luke's schedule! Good thing I have an AMAZING husband who is a HUGE help!!
