Motherhood has made me new. Life was sweet before children. Mark and I travelled, had all kinds of adventure, and loved well.
Motherhood though has opened up something new inside me. Something that was only multiplied with the addition of Claire. I don't live life in the same way, or want the same things. Everything has been made new. I have new eyes. New plans. New creativity. New gratitude.

As we wandered through the woods this Mother's Day, I was reminded that God has done a good, good work in both Mark and I through parenthood. It is a refining. How He must love us to have given us two such gifts.
This parenthood gig ain't easy, but it is good.
The hubs is a new man too. Deeper. Stronger. More humble. 
As our two daughters ran and played, I felt blessed to be their momma. The little one imitating every move of the bigger. Each learning from the other. Each one unique. Each with a story. Me learning from them.
They are sisters and I am their momma. Blessed am I!
Thank you my sweet girls for making this momma better.
Thank you, Mark, for the best Mother's Day yet.

Happy belated Mother's day!!
Such a beautiful post. Everything you said is so true. Motherhood changes you. For the better. :D
Happy Mother's Day. What a wonderful post.
God designed it so perfectly, Rebecca, cause it just keeps getting better and better. There's nothing in this world like babies and small children, but those little ones begin to grow and little by little they turn into these amazing people and you just realize over and over again what a blessing and a gift it is to be a mom.
i could not agree more. it has been such a gift! children are indeed a blessing! i think the love and energy and creativity (and chaos!) only multiply when you grow your family. it's not always easy but so worth it.
Beautiful post - you make me cry on a regular basis! Love it that Claire looks comfortable in front of the camera now - she's used to the mamaratzi I guess :-)
