As I lay in bed this evening, eating the last of the Godiva chocolates I received for Mother’s Day, I realized I never wrote about how very blessed I was while celebrating my second Mother’s Day. I got to spend the whole weekend with my two favorite people near me at all times.

We started on Friday with a trip to the park before church. Giana got to do her new favorite thing – “Wheee!”

On Saturday, we drove down to Iowa and met up with Gramma Lisa, Bumpa Rod and Aunt Jennifer in the grandstands to watch Uncle Michael race. He did great in his heat, and then he WON the feature! We even got to go down on the track to watch him receive his trophy!

We spent the night at Uncle Mike and Aunt’s house. Somehow, Giana must have known it was Mother’s Day. She woke up earlier than usual, so I brought her into bed with me and her papa. She snuggled up into me and went back to sleep! She has NEVER done this before. Our busy girl is not usually a cuddler! It was a Mother’s Day miracle 🙂

We went to Uncle Mike and Aunt’s awesome church and then to Clear Lake for fun times at the cabin. Giana gave me chocolates and even a flower.

On the way home, we stopped for a snack. I had an amazing Mother’s Day!
