Today I am thankful for...

1. the pictures Lauren took of me and Ben. This is one of over 200, so there are some really good ones, thank you Lauren!
2. going to church and seeing our friend's Heather and Gordon dedicate their son, Cameron.
3. the 139 (based off of Psalm 139) meeting I attended to learn more about this amazing ministry that serves teen/young mothers facing unplanned pregnancies. This ministry is only 2 years old and already it has over 200 volunteers serving all over Orange County. It's truly amazing and I'm so excited to become more involved in it.
4. Mark staying with Ben at church so I could go to the meeting. They had fun playing outside, it was sweet walking up to them and watching them having a great time together.
5. the brunch Ben and I went to at the Russell's house to celebrate Cameron's dedication. Good friends, good food, good times.
6. Marie's blog today. She has a righteous heart and I am always extremely blessed by her. Check it out... http://www.mariecav.blogspot.com/
7. all the GREAT food I bought at Trader Joe's. I think if God wanted to give us a glimpse of what Heaven is like, I'm pretty sure it would be in the form a Trader Joe's.
8. elderly people who get a kick out of Ben. They make him laugh, he in turn makes them laugh which ultimately makes me laugh. It's one of the greatest laughing cycles on earth.
9. my cousin Amy's birthday yesterday. Happy belated B-day, Amy! It sounded wonderful.
10. Nicodemus, from the book of John in the Bible. He's complex and a learner and he spook with Jesus. I learned about him today and I'm pretty impressed.

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. :-)

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
