So thankful for...
~ waking up to the sound of rain.
~ getting to surprise and celebrate Lolly on her birthday Saturday.
~ a gorgeous Sunday morning at church and breakfast out at the beach with my dad joining us. It was so awesome, filled my love tank.
~ having such a great weekend with Mark and Ben and friends.
~ getting to talk with Lolly's parent's for awhile and getting to know that family in a neat way.
~ a riveting game of Settler's last night, I almost won, but Mark brought the title to the Fitzpatrick house for the first time since playing the Caruanas. It felt good.
~ Mark's four day weekend, and that he only works three days this week until he has more days off.
~ Joe's really good pasta bake that he left on our doorstep for us. Food that's free and delivered is a wonderful thing.
~ getting to see Nick, Lisa and baby Kian last night. Kian is growing so fast! Nick and Lisa and doing a GREAT job of adjusting to parenthood. They are a beautiful family. :)

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your comment on my page. I read your blog too, and of course I don't mind if you read mine. :) Thanks for thinking I'm witty - I feel like I come off more cheesy than anything, most of the time. :) You make me laugh too - and how cute is Ben!?! Hope you're feeling great as you head into the home stretch with baby #2... I'm excited for you guys!

Hi Sarah--I'm enjoying catching up on your blog right now. I noticed you are looking for a new book to read. The Irresistible Revolution is a book by a past friend of mine Shane Claiborne and I was extremely impressed. I think you would resonate with a lot of what is in the book--it's about what the Gospel really is. Perhaps you'll find some of it controversial too. You should look it up! It's non-fiction of course but really powerful I think.

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. :-)
