My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Of the Christian walk, of marriage, of parenting, of great adventures, Oh the Bliss of it all!
Everything But The...
I was thinking my backpack was on the heavier side so I decided to clean it out. Here's what I found:
ummm... twinner, you took the words right out of my mouth... how on earth did you not think that was the reason it felt so heavy??? You are so silly friend!
I don't know, I think the better question might be who carries around a backpack anymore? Maybe that's a mom thing I don't know about yet or just a hip Sarah thing! At any rate, that's quite the colletion you have going on....love ya!
Ok, yes, I knew the chip&dip plate was in there, it's really all the other random stuff that I laughed out. It just kept coming out and coming out...
And Lauren, when you have three kids you need all hands available and no bags sliding off the shoulder and whatnot. Also, it distributes the weight better. It's overall just a more practical way to carry all the junk kids need. But you're pregnant with your first, so practical bags aren't totally necessary at this point. Live it up and get the super cute Petuna Pickle Bottom. I have a feeling baby #2 won't be far behind though... :-)
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
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. :-)
