There are rarely dull moments being the mom of these two! I can't even believe what a wild ride it has been. I feel so incredibly fortunate to be able to call Hazen my son, Cally my daughter, and John my husband. We really do have an amazing little unit-- kids who initiate family meetings, a family that randomly screams the team Abbott cheer, hugs and kisses that are thrown out like passing breezes...... All of this makes my heart feel so full and complete. I had no idea that motherhood would be so amazing.
My mother's day was perfect! John has figured it all out and knows exactly what this mama needs-- a lie in until almost 9am, coffee and the New York Times delivered to my bed, eggs benedict with grilled asparagus for breakfast, a morning spent in the garden with my kids, and an afternoon spent riding bikes and playing on the playground with these monkeys.
Being a mom is hard. There isn't a day that goes by that my patience isn't tried and I feel rested and relaxed. The only thing easy about being a mother is loving these kids. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. And being a Mom with John as my partner is the best decision I ever made. It was definitely worth the wait! Thank you Universe, for aligning all this together. I'm so happy!
