Thursday


Thursday was WOO HOO good.

1. Chick Fil A opened 5.09 miles from our house.

2. I got to the eye doctor and my days of blot shot -is she or isn't she contagious- eyes are soon to be over, thanks to some eye drops and a promise to "Come in immediately when my eyes start acting crazy, even if it means I bring the four rascals with me".

3. I was told by Jorge at Khol's that I'm the youngest mom he's ever seen. (It was my first time ever going to Khol's, but I am a fan of Jorge, so I might go back.)

4. My mom came over and spent the night, and who doesn't love it when their mom comes over? (Especially when she brings yummy cookies just for me.)

5. WE GOT A HOUSE!!!!!!! Hallelujah! It's pretty close to where we live now (though not nearly close enough, right twins?). It has all of the things we need AND all of the things we want! Which means, you guessed it, we're on the end of a cul de sac!! I am so thankful that the Lord has chosen to bless us in this way... What a neat testimony of his grace and his guidance and provision! It feels SO good to have the "find a place to live" chapter over. But this is a very loooooong book, I'm finding, so now we turn the page to the "pack the house and get ready to move in 2 weeks" chapter. Yippee!

How was your thursday?

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. :-)
