belated mother's day.

i hope all you lovely mamas out there had a wonderful mother's day.

we finally were able to celebrate this evening. although it was quiet & mostly uneventful, it was pretty perfect. it was especially sweet just being together (the three of us) after not having the little one around this weekend.

this past week, i've realized how tired i am. i know i've been exhausted for a long time but i feel like this week the past year has caught up with me. emotionally, especially.

but god is so kind in his mercy to me, that even when i feel stretched too thin to care for & appreciate my family (or start to feel sorry for myself), he gives me moments where i can't help but just savor just how blessed i am.

tonight was one of those nights.

this happened while i was doing the dishes. i didn't even realize what he was doing. he was pretty pleased with his new fort (empty cabinet).
sushi is good for the my soul.
yep. this is half of a cake. thankfully, it was a small cake. my man knows the way to my heart.
my mother's day flowers!
they are perfect.
i can't imagine life without our little boy. he is the sweetest, cutest & most precious little that i've ever met. we are better because of him. i still can't believe that i have the privilege to be this child's mother. it blows my mind. & makes my heart spill over with joy.


oh c., mama loves you so.

love.

wedding weekend.

this past weekend, we attended two weddings.

fun, right?

we had big plans of a weekend-long date, full of time with just the two of us (c. spent the weekend with my family) enjoying the celebrations & pretending to be newlyweds. instead, it felt like several weeks of exhaustion finally caught up with us.

despite our sleepy dispositions, we had a pretty lovely time. it was a sweet time spent celebrating with old friends.

wedding no.1
my hot date. 
wedding no.2

she's lovely.
oh, i love this man.
and, in the midst of exhaustion, i saw even more how wonderful the man is that i get to spend my life with.

love.
