1st Mommy Day of the Summer

I love my job... not everyone can say that they get to go to work everyday and do something that they enjoy; but I can. I am the Director of Children's Ministries at CFUMC and basically what that means is that I plan, work in, organize, and anything else you can think of in all things relating to children birth through 5th grade. I love all of His kids and I LOVE watching them grow and mature in Him. All that being said, it's A LOT of work and at certain times it can get very busy and stressful just like any other job. Springtime is one of those times when it gets busier... winding down the school year and cranking up the summer requires a lot of planning, time, and mental energy. So, today, I took a breather!!!... my favorite kind of breather... a day with my favorite little boy in the world, my son, Eli!! I'm sure that all of my Mommy friends who work outside the home (**kuddos to my friends who work in the home... you guys have a tough job!) can relate to that feeling of being torn, no matter how much you love your job, everyday that you go to work you feel that twinge of guilt and you desperately miss your baby!! I was in need of a Mommy day... a day just for the two of us to hang out, laugh, and play... a day filled with lots of hugs, kisses, and giggles!! I have to tell you that I am more refreshed after today with my munchkin than any day off I have ever spent alone!! I just wanted to share a few pictures from our wonderful day!

Everyday begins with a good breakfast!

 Riding on his toy... more like dancing on his toy to the music of the toy next to it!!

 Pool time!!! Thanks Kelly for hosting us! We had a blast!

 Taking a yogurt bite break... swimming makes a boy hungry!

 After naptime... E tried blackberries for the very first time... he LOVED them!!!!

 Eli did this all on his own! He wanted to play peek a boo with Mommy!

 Peek A Boo!!!!!

 and again....

 Bathtime.... Duck, Duck, Duck, Duck

 Trying to wear P-Maw AND P-Paw's sunglasses!!

 So glad that Daddy got to join us for supper and the softball game!

Thanks for reading thoughts from my Mommy heart!! XOXO
