The two reasons I love being a mommy:
Kamdyn
Cooper
But I've had a great example to learn from... my mom, my best friend. I know it sounds cliche, but if I can be half the mom to my kids that she's been to me, I'll be doing good. I really mean that. It seems like the older I get, the more I need my mom. I'm not sure it's supposed to be like that, but that's the way it's been for me. And now that I'm a mom, I really appreciate my mom and the sacrifices that she makes for me.
At least two times last week, I had to call her to go get my kids because I had appointments or ran late. I don't know what I'd do without her! And it goes way beyond that... It's been a pretty difficult year for me personally and my mom has never left my side. She has pushed me and believed in me when I didn't have the courage to do so myself. I know that she faithfully prays for me and for that, I am eternally grateful. She not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. She consistently models service to her Lord and her church and I've often said that it's hard to follow in her footsteps. But I'd like to try...
Yes, I have a great mother, but my kids have an even better Mimi... she makes no bones about spoiling the kids rotten. I've tried to tell her that sometimes she makes things a little difficult for Mark and I when the kids get things with her and not with us. She doesn't care though... it's her job, she says!! This is why every day when I pick Kamdyn up she asks me for a treat...

I'll post some pics of my gifts from Kam tomorrow... she's made this week really special for me.

Rob,
I'm going to have to ask you that from now on any such posts come with a forwarned "Tissue Alert"!! You can't let people (me) just nonchalantly go into these kinds of posts!!
love!
Robyn, "I" appreciate this blog of your relationship with your Mother. She has certainly been a blessing in my life!
First of all, yeah, I was tearing up just reading this! What a great way to honor your mom, Rob. Your mom is such a blessing to so many people. She certainly has blessed my life immensely and serves as a Godly example to me!! Love you both!
