Today I am so thankful for...

1. once again, another fun time with Carrie, Gavin and Ezekiel at the mall.
2. gift cards to places I never have enough money to buy things from, like Williams&Sonoma and Sephora. I'm like a little kid in a candy shop knowing I can buy something great with those cards.
3. Gavin saying the funniest things. Today, after telling us that he was hungry he went on to say "probably need to find me a bagel." So matter-of-fact like. It kills me!
4. Mark still having seven more days off of work!! Yea me!
5. the beef stew I made tonight without a recipe, just threw a bunch (and I really mean a bunch) of things in a pot and let it cook. I felt like a real cook because I would taste the broth and add a little of this and a little of that to make it good. It wasn't to die for, but it was hearty and homemade.
6. the REALLY GREAT news from Jason and Carrie tonight about a potentail, long time in the making, new job for Jason.
7. the very meaningful card from Darren we got in the mail today.
8. getting to hold Ezekiel for a few minutes today at the mall.
9. Mark reading today's One Year Bible passage out loud to me.
10. "thank you" cards.

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

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. :-)
