My 3rd Mother's Day

I had an absolutely wonderful mother's day. Last year, Landon was just a day old so we didn't get to really celebrate it (we did, but you know what I mean). The year before I had hoped to have my little Samuel to hold on that first mother's day, but he was with Jesus. So, today we took a trip out to Samuel's grave so I could be with both my boys on mother's day. It was nice to be there with Landon. He even said, "brother" when prompted while we were there (well, it came out more like, "brovver"), it was so sweet.




I also got this pendant engraved with Samuel's initials on one side and his birthday on the other (I received the pendant at the hospital when we had Samuel). Seth also got me a new chain to wear with it - I absolutely love how it turned out.





We ended the night at a special restaurant (we went to our first date here), Abuelos. It was delicious! Landon even got some birthday Flan which he loved.

So sweet, Marcie. I love the photo of Landon touching the headstone. I'm sure it makes your heart ache, but is so sweet at the same time.
