Happy Birthday to my very first nephew Michael Thomas Abbott!! He is 3 today! Oh my, where does the time go? I got to talk with him and wish him a happy birthday. He told me all about his friends that came over to celebrate with him. Michael has some really great friends, I met them while I was out there. I miss that little guy, but I'm so happy he had a great birthday.

Today I am thankful for...
1. Michael being born three years ago and what a fun, sweet, adventurous boy he is.
2. trying out a new recipe for fish. That's right, I cooked fish tonight, and it was good. :)
3. running into an old friend from our old church at Trader Joe's!! Cami and I lost touch when we moved to HB, I lost all my info on her (maybe you remember the Great Computer Crash of '05?) and now we live just a few miles away from her! So exciting because she and her husband have a little girl just 4 months older than Ben. I see playdates in our future. :)
4. Mark's retro paycheck he received today. Had he not (respectfully) said anything to his boss last December this check would've remained somehow "over looked".
5. Mark watching Ben so I could go to TJ's by myself, such a treat to walk up and down those aisle at my own pace once in awhile.
6. finding a book I thought I had lost. I was so close to finishing it, so now I can pick right back up and get some closure.
7. Ben's favorite time of the day: Naked Time!! It's so fun to watch him run around the house, we just crack up.
8. getting to go back to sleep when Ben took a nap this morning.
9. Mark having 3 -potentially 4 tomorrow- houses in escrow AND 2 listings! He is doing so well in real estate, I'm so proud.
10. Oh!! I am so thankful for the surprise of two cards in the mail for me! One was beautifully adorned with stickers, wonder who that was from? (my mommy.) :) It made me feel so special.

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

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)

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. :-)
