Today I am thankful for...

1. Ben not being allergic to peanut butter. He's had it three times in the last week, loved it, and showed no signs of any allergies. This is great news because I'm always looking for new food he'll actually eat.
2. the laugh fest Ben and I had at dinner tonight. He was in one of the best moods I've seen him in lately, it made me almost tear up because he was having such a good time with me.
3. the fish bracelet I bought in Prague. It's special and meaningful to me, and I'm proud that I haven't lost it in 8+ years. (Misplaced, yes, but never lost.)
4. sweet Marie's message on my phone. We missed each other today, but I know that we'll get together soon.
5. Mark hanging out with Ben and me this morning.
6. MOPS being tomorrow
7. pinto beans and cheese
8. Heathers love for animals. It teaches me and it's pretty funny at times.
9. Dove white bar soap.
10. finding ten things to be thankful for today.

I am thankful to have bumped into your blog by accident.
What a blessing. I am a mother of 4 and did not have a personal relationship with God during their early years. It's never too late or too early especially. Ben is blessed and adorable too. In this day to be proud to say "I am a mom". God bless you.

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
