Thankful

I used to write Thankful Lists all the time, and today I keep thinking how thankful I am, so here's my list. No particular order...

~My new car. Everything about it is a total luxury. I do not deserve it. Or need it. But I am SO thankful for it.

~My friends bringing home their new-to-them little boy today. They are fostering him with high hopes of adoption. I've been thinking about them all day and I can't get over the excitement, the preciousness, the thankfulness that surrounds adoption.

~ A mom friend offered to make a table cloth for me that I need for this weekend. I was literally on my way to the fabric store when she called saying she was already there and would make if for me - I could not believe it!

~ My new water glasses from my mom who is always thinking about me.

~ The prayers from my husband over our family because they are rich and powerful.

~ Getting to have a FitzSnelSon night this week, topped off with a Frapy's. :-)

~ Some dear friends becoming dearer as we raise our kids together, share meals together, laugh and cry and do life together.

~ Laundry. Because it's a constant reminder of how much we've been given.

Make me cry, Sarah! :) We are thankful for wonderful friends who share in our joy of fostering and hopefully one day adopting our sweet little guy. Knowing that even if he is just ours for a little while, we're helping him for this moment.

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
