This is Tiny Roy Fonzerelli. He's so cute!







Today I had the pleasure of watching Gavin ALL day! I must say, I have a new found awe for mom's with more than one kid!! It was a lot of fun, he was so great with Ben. I'm so thankful for the quality time I've been blessed to have with Gavin since he was an infant and I wish, with all of my heart, that I could have that same time with Michael, Daniel, Jesse and Luci. I love being an Aunt!!

Today I am so thankful for...

1. getting to read Marie's "thankful list" that she's been quite regular in writing lately.
2. once again, the funny things Gavin says. Today I smelled something very stinky radiating from somebody's bottom. I started to check Ben and as I did Gavin says, "no, don't check Ben, it was probably me." Sure enough... He cracks me up. :)
3 the amazing way God works everything out in His timing. It's really so perfect, it's a wonder why I ever question Him.
4. oh, this is big, today I'm thankful for the people who accepted our offer and are allowing us to purchase their home in Mission Viejo! We have a 30 escrow, so I better get to packing!
5. Jason and Carrie being able to rent out our house after we move. It gives them more space, gets them out of an apartment and lets us rent to people we trust, and love. :)
6. how God worked out the issue of their lease with their landlord. Their landlord had called them to tell them he is moving back to town in Feburary and might need his place to live in again. February is when we're moving out, so it's perfect timing for them to move in and not let down their landlord. See, SEE? God is so good!
7. Mark having great vision for our family and our future.
8. Jason starting the police academy on Monday.
9. a sweet gift from my Aunt Barbara to us and to Ben.
10. two new magizines that came in the mail today, I'm glad to have a quiet night to read them.

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. :-)
