(Posting two days in a row? Wow!)


This pretty much sums up Ben's thoughts about our time at the academy graduation. I would like to add, on his behalf, that he felt this way because we had woken him up at 6am, he was hot, tired, wet, hungry and very dirty. So when asked to "say cheese" this was the best he could muster. Bless his heart.

Today I am thankful for...

1. getting to see Heater after her 5 week trip to Asia! So thankful for her safety for sure. Also, she brought gifts for the whole family, which I thought was really sweet of her.

2. Exercising this morning.

3. Marie's comment yesterday. :)

4. my weekend plans with the Fitzpatricks.

5. Ben easily going back to his early bedtime after staying up late a couple nights in a row. (Keep in mind "late" for him is 8:30pm). :)

6. my clean kitchen.

7. Mark not having to stay too late last night after yet another fatal. Seriously people, can ya just stop drinking and driving for crying out loud.

8. my new clothes and Ben's new shoes.

9. finally nailing down a doctors apt for Ben that I've been trying to get for nearly 5 months now. Love the HMOs.

10. Jelly Bellys.

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
