I woke up this morning to a bunch of wonderful Mother's Day surprises!! Paul got up early and brought me coffee and cinnamon rolls and while I ate breakfast Molly presented me with all my beautiful cards and presents!!
My favorite gift is a gorgeous hand-painted ceramic heart-shaped box that Molly made all by herself. I am very impressed that Daddy planned and executed a trip to the pottery place and was able to get Molly to keep it a secret! I also received a beautiful James Avery butterfly for my charm bracelet, a gift certificate for two pedicures and a wonderful card and letter from my unborn son!!
Paul's most thoughtful gift is a handmade chest that he ordered a few weeks ago. I wanted a trunk to keep at the foot of our bed where we could put all of Julia's keepsakes and belongings. It will be much nicer to have a beautiful box full of her memories rather than having them in a plastic storage container.
My beautiful present from Molly
She painted it all by herself, but the lady at the pottery place wrote on the inside for her.

Molly passed out on the playroom floor less than 10 minutes after the Hawkinsons pulled out of the driveway! She was in the pool for 5 hours straight today. I should have gotten a close up of her pruney fingers and toes!
