This Mother's Day was quite a big surprise for me. Keith pulled off quite the treat for me. For months, he planned a secret getaway for my Mom, sister and I. We drove up to Santa Fe and had dinner, then we went to a Performance at the Lensic Theater. After that we went to our fancy, two bedroom suite for a nice night of quiet sleep. The next morning we had breakfast and then went to 10,00 waves where we had three hours of spa treatments! We had a full body massage, salt rub and private bath. It was amazing and so relaxing. After that we had lunch on the Plaza in Santa Fe and then drove home. I think the most incredible part was that keith took Caleb, Eli, Ella and Spencer on the Father's and Sons campout! Yep, he took a five month baby (that nursers) overnight! Is that amazing or what! I pumped and Keith got up in the middle of the night twice to feed him. That is true sacrifice for my happiness and I am so grateful for him.
Sunday we went to Church and later had dessert at my parent's house. I am so grateful to be a mother and that I get to be one to these 6 fabulous kids. It is a hard, sometimes thankless job. Yet it is also the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I love to see them grow and develop their own individuality. I am also grateful that I get to be a Mother with Keith as my companion. I could not do it without him! He sacrifices so much just to ease my burdens and I am truly thankful for him!
