Today I am thankful for...

1. cute little Benny

2. getting a lot done today

3. (this is an add-on to yesterday's #8) my mom, because not only did she do all those things last night, but, I came in the kitchen this morning to see that she had put my muffins in a bag so they wouln't dry out AND refilled my Britta water pitcher. She's so good.

4. my Aunt Sarah, who I just found out reads this! (Hi Auntie Say-Say!!) She has been a great love and support in my life and especially in my mom's life. I love her very much.

5. Mark playing with Ben outside so I could get stuff done inside.

6. dinner with Jason and Carrie and Gavin and (smiley) Ezekiel. Mark would like to add "I'm thankful that dinner was sushi, it was good, I liked it a lot. Hee hee hee, whoo whoo whoo." There you have it.

7. allowing time for Ben to play in his crib this morning when he was suposed to be taking a nap. Instead of just figuring he wasn't going to nap, I let him holler out a few of times, and eventually he fell asleep. For two hours. Yea for me.

8. the Old Testament. I think I've said it before, but I'm really enjoying reading all the flannel board stories of my youth.

9. the opportuity to serve in a ministry at church that I've been really interested in for a long time.

10. getting back into my "Believing God" Beth Moore Bible study.

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. :-)
