Today I am thankful for...

1. my new gym membership!
2. spending time with the Russell family this morning. I came at just the right time to sit down to breakfast, couldn't have planned it any better if I tried. I love that family and hope our move to MV doesn't hinder us spending time together.
3. spur of the moment lunch with Marie!!! Great girl, beautiful setting (the beach) it was so good to meet up with her. And Ben was pleasant too, it was perfect!
4. the absolutely GORGEOUS weather today!!!
5. Mark being home and resting after being up for 23 hours and only sleeping 4 hours before he was up again. Bless his heart, no really - it's going to give out if it doesn't get some blessings!
6. Ben sitting down on some floor pillows and patting the spot next to him for me to come and sit by him. So cute!
7. fun plans to see friends this week that I haven't spent time with in a long time, Joanna, Heather, Lolly and Lauren!!
8. Naked Juice, because its good and Mark LOVES it.
9. Ben being able to eat grapes and carrots on his own now. I used to peel his grapes, quarter them and watch him like a hawk, now I can just hand him a bunch. What a big boy!
10. Mark possibly getting tomorrow night off his night job, he really needs a break!!

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
