Today I am so thankful for....
1. going to church with the Abbotts and Ben doing alright in the child care.
2. spending time with Daniel tonight and having him fall asleep in my arms as I gave him his bedtime bottle.
3. a fun trip to the mall with the boys.
4. laughing so hard with Amy tonight, my stomach and cheeks hurt.
5. all the great CDs Todd and Amy have that I'm downloading onto my computer.
6. Todd's love and gift for gardening, their yards are beautiful.
7. the lingo that the Abbotts have created which I have, unintentionally, picked up a few phrases. Mark is never going to let me spend so much time here again after I come home saying silly things like "Coo coo Amy".
8. for the yummy pizza we had for dinner. (In lieu of the salmon which Todd and I have put off having for dinner yet another night.)
9. all the pictures we've taken (and are going to take) which I'll post as soon as Amy can email them to me.
10. for the delicious coffee Todd makes for us every morning.

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. :-)
