For Wendy

Addison received some lovely gifts yesterday for her birthday (more birthday blogging to come). One of them, an adorable Cabbage Patch Kid, didn't go over so well. But, today is a new day and Addison, in all her fickle glory, has decided that the "big dolly" is now her friend. This video is dedicated to Wendy.

I am so glad she likes it now. Wendy will be so excited!!! Although, I wish you had a video of her reacting to it on her b-day. Classic!

I will give everyone the visual... she saw it in the box and was so excited as we opened it... then she took it and hugged it... then all the sudden became very silent and still... I held the doll up to her to show her that they both had red hair and she ran to her room crying and shut the door behind her. Thinking that she was upset b/c i took the doll away to show her I thought she was just mad that I was holding it and not her... so I brought the doll to the door way and danced it around a little... big mistake... she was terrified or something... Sarah went in to console the poor bday girl and she kept saying, "put it back mama, put it back."
So it is very good to see her embracing the doll the next day. I am so glad I did not scar her for life. :)

i'm so bummed i missed that hilarious moment. sarah, your kids have had some really awesome memorable birthday moments. so sad that i couldn't see addie in all of her glory. wendy's depiction is hilarious, though! and i can't believe i forgot it was addie's birthday! so sorry, addie, but you're probably only going to have belated birthday wishes from me forever--because unless it's jan 1st, every other 1st of the month just sneeks up on me! :) happy 2nd birthday big girl!!!

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. :-)
