Here are a few fun pictures from the last two days with Gma here!! We wish she could've stayed longer. :(

Today I am so thankful for...
1. breakfast at The Original Pankcake House (NOT to be confused with IHOP) Friday with Tina, Mark and Ben.
2. my time helping Ali out yesterday, running errands for her, and that Ben was having fun at home with Gma.
3. getting to see Aamon and Kristen for a little bit yesterday afternoon. Such a cool couple, how I wish they didn't live in Tulsa, it's just too far away!
4. getting one of the curtains completely made. Also, for Mark for hanging the curtain rod for me this morning. I'm really excited because I wouldn't really qualify myself as a "sewer" but I think I did a pretty good job, seeing as how I didn't use a pattern or anything. It makes me want to sew lots of things now. :) Watch out, sweaters for everybody for Christmas!
5. getting to run even more errands today while Ben stayed home with Gma. So great for all involved.
6. Tina's fabulous shopping time today at her special stores. She found some great deals and I am thankful to be on the receiving end of those finds!
7. my night alone with Mark. Ben turned in at the usual "crack of sunset" and Mark had tonight off for a sweet change. We made a delicious dinner and watched a movie. I love my quality time with him.
8. Lolly, a newer friend, asking me to watch her kids for a day next week. It is sweet that she thought of me, that she feels comfortable with me already, and trusts me enough to watch her kids for multiple hours.
9. the neighborhood cat, Frank, who comes to our back door every morning and evening looking for food. Sadly, he will never receive any from us, but until he figures that out he's a highlight of Ben's day.
10. Ben saying more and more cute things, like "birdie" and "Nee-ma" (I think that's Gma). So cool.

Will you introduce me to your friends in Tulsa...we have a few there, but friends of yours could surely be friends of ours. Are we really moving again? Not to long ago I posted on your blog that I was glad you were packing boxes, now it is my turn again, UGH. Also, need a pic of the new curtains you sewed. Love ya - Keri

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
