My Favorite(s)

Ben is my favorite because he's creative. He has a killer imagination and he can draw anyone who will listen into it. He is my favorite because whenever he is somewhere without Addison and Troy (but especially Addison) and he's given something, like a sticker or a cookie, he will ask for another one to bring home for them. He is thoughtful in ways that surprise me daily. He is my favorite because of how responsible he is, because I can trust him to do things, and because of how lovingly he takes care of his siblings, especially Mia. He's my favorite because when he is sick, really real sick, he doesn't make a fuss and doesn't want attention. He knows that I get sad when he's sick, so he tries really hard to be "fine", even though he's feeling crummy, he thinks about my feelings. He is my favorite because he's fun to take with me places. He is polite and helpful and has great conversations with people, so adult like and yet to childish. He is engaging and interesting. He is my favorite Ben.

Oh Sarah, that's a good idea--I like it! What a cute and sweet boy...I love how surprisingly sweet boys can be! Have you read the book, "You're All My Favorites" by the person who wrote "Guess How Much I Love You" (with the bunnies). It is really sweet. :)

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
