I feel like I got really spoiled this year for Mother's Day! I've been telling Rob for months that the one thing that we needed to make our backyard perfect was a misting system. My dream is now complete because Rob installed one in our backyard today! It's on our back porch and heavenly. I can already sit outside on my patio furniture and read a book while Ellie runs around. We just need to get the kiddie pool blown up next week and we can pretty much live in the backyard all summer now. 
And then my second Mother's Day present was a new car! Or a new to us car anyway.... We were planning on trading in our truck this summer (the vehicle that I drive) for a more family friendly option. But when the air conditioning on the truck decided to go out this week and we couldn't fix it ourselves, we decided to go ahead and do the trade in a little earlier than we planned. We got ourselves a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and we love it! It has all the features that we wanted and even 3rd row seating that we can use if we need to (or extra cargo room). And it will fit the double stroller that I will be getting soon which was a very important piece of criteria for me. We will not be needing a new car for a very long time after this and I'm totally okay with that - I love this car! 
Tomorrow we get to talk to my brother Kevin on his mission so I'm very excited about that as well. The actual day is always really hard for me since it really makes me miss my own Mom but I'm so grateful to be a mom to Ellie and to have this new baby come into our lives this year. Being a mom is the greatest blessing of my life!
