Mother's day was very special for me, because not only did I have a daughter this year, but she also had Baby Dedication in church on Sunday. It was so special to be able to share my special day with God, showing that Scott and I desire for Him to be an important part of little Kalia's life and honoring Him by promising to raise her according to His will. Being a mommy also really made me appreciate my own moms! I never fully understood before the love of a parent to a child and now it just makes me feel so lucky to have such a special mom and mother-in-law. They show us in so many different ways that they love and support us, and have been very encouraging to me as I learn to be a good mommy to Kalia. My mom always made me feel like such a blessing to her as I was growing up and never like a burden or a chore. I hope that I can give Kalia that same comfort and tenderness in our relationship. I got a really sweet mother's day surprise from Kalia (and Scott) too! I walked into the living room to find Kalia holding a beautiful spring bouquet of flowers with her in her bassinet! So cute! And it had a little card in it that said "I love my mom!" I felt very blessed. On Mother's day, our families went to church for Kalia's baby dedication and then to my parent's place for lunch and the afternoon. It was a very special day spent with my two amazing families, as well as my own daugher and husband!

Yay for your first Mother's Day as a mom! Congrats on baby Kalia's baby dedication. As a friend who will be having a baby in the same year (meaning we'll probably see a lot of each other), I promise to stand behind you and Scott in your promise to raise Kalia as a beautiful woman of God. God bless all three of you!
By the way, you look AMAZING! Way to go!
You look absolutly amazing for just having had a baby. Happy to hear that you had a wonderful Mother's Day.
I was waiting for pics of baby dedication, Amy mentioned that Kai was getting dedicated as well as Kalia so I was hoping you would have some. You look great! so does Kalia, she is so tiny and has so much hair!

Thanks for posting the pics of baby dedication. It's a bummer we couldn't be there, but know that we stand by you and will be here to support & encourage you as "train Kalia in the way she should go". Again, beautiful flowers...Kalia has such good taste! I'm just glad the vase is still standing after Hailey almost made it take a tumble this afternoon! Love Ya!
