A birthday to be continued..

You know those days when you're left at the end of feeling emotionally, mentally, and physically drained?
Today has been one of those days.
We celebrated the 2nd birthday of my sweet boy and it was a wonderful day, but life still rears its ugly head no matter what day it is--yet the Lord is always mindful of us and we've had some tender mercies today which remind us that He is there and aware of both our joys and our trials. 
All-in-all, it's been a day of gratitude with my little family. Our darling boy had a wonderful birthday and we are so thankful for his presence in our family--because, oh, what a joyful presence it is! 
He is one happy, goofy, car-loving, watermelon-devouring little heartbreaker and I'm excited beyond belief for the next year and years to come to get to know him and watch him become the incredible person he will without a doubt be. 
Motherhood is pretty legit. And I'll see you tomorrow.
