Burgess Family: Mother’s Day 2013

Mother’s Day started off pretty rocky, but got better as the day went on. It started at 3am, when my sweet little daughter decided she didn’t feel like sleeping and wanted to make sure no one in the house did either. We finally all fell back asleep by 6am and we all snuck in about 30 minutes more of sleep before waking up to get ready for church. As I pulled into the church parking lot about 15 minutes before service started, I received a phone call from Brandon that his car had just broke down on his way to work and he needed me to come help him. I turned around and headed over to the busy intersection he was stuck in. After multiple attempts of trying to jump his car, we realized it was time to call a tow truck :( My Mother-In-Law came to bring Brandon her car so he could still make it to work on time and she hopped in with the kids and I and we headed to church. We finally arrived about 15 minutes late to find the parking lot was completely full and ended up having to park a ways away and walk. By time I got the kids dropped off in Sunday School, we FINALLY made it to service to also find all the seats had been taking except a few single seats scattered here and there, so my Mother-In-Law and I sat solo and met up afterwards. Looking back at this, it’s pretty funny now. Like I said, pretty rocky start, but this is exactly what a day of Motherhood looks like so I guess it was pretty fitting for Mother’s Day.

After we got home from church, the day started getting better. Ate lunch, kids napped, and then we were off for the big family celebration. Brandon’s Aunt Bev & Uncle Don hosted Mother’s Day dinner at their house. All the family came and we shared a delicious meal of Smoked Pork wrapped in Bacon, Twice Baked Potatoes, Homemade Applesauce, Salad, Green Beans, and Rolls. Wow, Bev & Don are some amazing cooks, the meal was fabulous!!!!!! After dinner we all just hung out, watching the kids be crazy and just enjoying each others company. Brandon met up with us after work, we hung out for about another hour and then headed home. I have to admit, by time we got home, I was pooped from a major lack of sleep so I went to sleep really early. It was a fun day with the family and of course my AMAZING husband and kids spoiled me rotten with some great gifts. I am one lucky girl and I am truly honored to be a Mom to my two, soon to be three, wonderful children. We also made the big announcement to the family on Mother’s Day that we are expecting #3, SO exciting and a great day to share the news! (I’ll do a Medical/Pregnancy catch up post soon).
