Before you read this, or afterwards, whichever, make sure you look at the other two posts I did today of pictures of our fun days we’ve been having.

Today I am so thankful for…

1. taking a long nap today.
2. having Amy, Michael and Daniel here, spending the night and having lots of fun with us.
3. seeing Ben’s motor skills developing, he learns so much everyday.
4. making one of my favorite pasta dishes for dinner, one that my mom would always make for me, it wasn’t as good as when she makes it, but it was good.
5. little Michael’s excitement about our turtle. He says “Hi Turtle” every time he passes by Tiny.
6. Mark’s gifts in finances.
7. how cute Daniel is as he sleeps right next to me right now.
8. Amy’s attitude about just about everything. I love how I’ll ask her for some advice and she says “well, in Amy Land, I would…”
9. Mochi. (little balls of ice cream wrapped in rice flour.)
10. Amy’s love and respect for Mark. (and yes, she may have told me to say that.) But it’s true, I am thankful for that.

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. :-)
