Just a little video slideshow I put together for memory sake. Hope you enjoy! I love this song by Martina McBride and what's she says. The lyrics are below.

I've had a great Mother's Day. We were in Baton Rouge yesterday and I chose to eat at Johnny's Pizza, since we don't have them down here (and Baton Rouge just got this one this past fall). Then, we went to church this morning and went out to eat for lunch. Matt picked me up a cookie cake on the way home that he had ordered and I was a happy girl! Juliette made me a card and drew me a picture with hearts all over it and has told me "Happy Mother' Day" about a dozen times today! And, as my Mother's Day gift, I'll be getting a permanent blog design with pictures of us across the top. It'll be installed in a week or two, so you'll have to keep an eye out for it! Other than that, I've had a relaxing afternoon.

Since going through our journey with infertility, though, no Mother's Day goes by without my thoughts turning to those out there who dread this day and long to be a mommy. My thoughts are with you today! I encourage you to visit Infertile Myrtle's blog for a video she posted that I know is probably how you feel today!

"In My Daughter's Eyes"
by Martina McBride

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
