Just got through with a great few days. Halloween was last Thursday, and I was a little worried about whether Eli would cooperate or not. He looked so cute last year, and the silly mom in me wanted him to be just as cute this year!
Last year...
This year, I got him a little doctor outfit, to be just like me. And, on the trial runs, I tried to put it on him twice, and he HATED it. He just said, "No, no, no" in the sweetest voice until I took it off.
Well, he put it on, but wouldn't keep the hat, stethoscope, or name tag on, but I was still very proud of him.
Trick-or-treating with a bunch of toddlers was a total blast. We loved it.
Then, the next day the ladies all had a 2-day outing at Time Out for Women, which was so great. It was so great to be with Mom and sisters/sis-in-laws. And, it was so uplifting to hear encouraging words for 2 days. We left feeling higher and ready to take on the world!
One of my favorite things said was in a song by Mercy River,
"I may not be the best at many things. But, I believe I love you perfectly."
That pretty much sums up me as a mother and a wife. I sometimes feel overwhelmed and inadequate, but I know that I am doing my best and Heavenly Father is helping me to take care of my wonderful family, because He loves them more than I do.
Here I am, back at work. This was the first moment I have gotten to sit down, in 5 hours. But, I wouldn't have it any other way. I was able to help a colleague with an emergency hysterectomy and then deliver a darling baby boy! What a wonderful morning!
