A Great Weekend

Thank goodness for mothers!

What would we do with out our moms? That is something I have thought a lot about since I got pregnant and have given birth to our two beautiful children. My mom, Vicki Helene Peterson has been such an amazing help and example to me. She has helped through our whole journey and I am so grateful she is my mom and a part of our lives!
When I was pregnant and on bedrest in the hospital, I was having a lot of anxiety and was really just having a hard time. My dear mother would come everyday and stay with me, do my hair and make up, talk to me, spend the night so I wouldn't have to be there alone, bring me food, and so many other things. I really do not know how I would have gotten through it without her.
Now that the babies are her, she still does so much to help. Because the babies were born so early, we aren't supposed to take them out at all. I am not much of an inside person, and it has been a hard transition for me to spend all my time indoors. My mom has been such a lifesaver though. She comes at least a couple times a week to watch the kids, so I can get out to the store or just take a break. She helps me clean my house, and even will take the kids on a weekend night so Eric and I can get out.
Not only that, my mom is such an example of patience and love. I really have learned so much about being a mom from her. She is a great example to me and I only hope I can be half the mother she is. Thank you mom for all your helps, support, prayers and love! It means so much to us! We love you!!
