Happy Mother's Day!

I had a wonderful day yesterday - thank you, sweet Husband, for working hard to make me feel special in the middle of your finals! Ryan whisked Rooke away as soon as they were both awake and returned with a delicious breakfast and beautiful flowers.

At church, we dedicated both Rooke and Gretchen. We had a dedication time for Rooke with our community group a while ago, but decided to include him as we stood before the church on Sunday. We read Philippians 4:12-13 for Rooke and Hebrews 11:6 for Gretchen. It was a special time for our family and a good reminder that our children are a gift (even on days, like today, when I get pooped AND peed on!).

I love being Rooke and Gretchen's mommy.

Earlier in the weekend, a few of my friends from MOPS came over for a "Little Dresses" party. Jessie is showing off her handiwork from the night. We made dresses out of pillow cases for orphan girls in Africa. Click here to find more information on the organization and then throw a Little Dresses party for your friends!

And finally, I just need to let you all in on the most exciting thing happening for our family this week . . . Ryan (AKA the man of my dreams) graduates from law school on Saturday.

Let me say that again.

RYAN GRADUATES FROM LAW SCHOOL ON SATURDAY.

Let it sink in.

Three years.

This Saturday.

Done.

DONE!

Well, kinda. He still has to study for and take the BAR exam. But he will be finished with classes. Let the countdown begin . . . five days to go (and only two days until his last final).
