Today I am thankful for...

1. the great news that Tim and Taylore are expecting their second baby, making Thompson a big sister!
2. having a yummy, country style breakfast with my dad & Ben this morning, his treat! We split a HUGE cinnamon roll, biscuits and gravy and a cheese and bacon omelet! I was full as a tic!! :)
3. visiting my mom today at her work and having her show Ben off to everyone.
4. Ben taking a long nap today!!
5. talking with Amy on the phone and getting really great helpful hints as to how to change with my changing son.
6. Mark getting to write an offer for a client on the first day of taking them out to look at houses.
7. having Steve and Barbara over for dinner.
8. doing all the time consuming little things before they got here. (Like grating the cheese, setting the table - another helpful hint I learned from Amy Abbott.)
9. Steve and Barbara's eagerness to play Settlers of Catan with us.
10. getting to go to bed right now because I am really sleepy!

Goodnight!!

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

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. :-)
