More to be thankful for...


I really am thankful for more than just food. Don't get me wrong, food is fabulous. But then I'm reminded of other blessings I've received, which are so easy to forget right now. Like the wonderful people who GAVE me a king size mattress, box springs, and all the bedding, just because they knew I was in need. What wonderful people. I couldn't get them to take my money, so I made them banana bread...what a trade! I am so thankful for them. Also, my wonderful parents who are so kind and giving. They are such amazing people. And, who would have thought that I would have ended up best friends with my big sister. She is such an amazing person and the crazy part is, she doesn't even know it. Then there's the biggest blessing of all - my beautiful girls. I can't wait to hold Brooklyn in January, I all ready have so much love for her. I'm so excited to see what she's going to bring to our family with the crazy personality I can all ready tell she has. Then there's Kate. What can I say? She is the most beautiful thing in the entire world. My daughter makes me laugh every single day, several times a day. Granted, I am losing hair over the whole 2 year old thing we're going through, but man she's worth it. She just recently started telling me, "Mom, you're the best mom ever!". Anyone who knows me knows I'm not the best mom ever. But she thinks I am, at least for now. The other day while coloring a beautiful masterpiece, she says - "Mom, close your eyes. Now make a wish. Wif all my hearts." Baby, my wish all ready came true.

Thanksgiving

Can I just tell you how freakin much I love Thanksgiving. Seeing the family and being thankful and all that are all well and good, but mostly I just go for the food. I absolutely love that fake jelly cranberry sauce, the turkey, potatoes, gravy, pie, all of it. I stuff myself silly, wait an hour, and then do it again. I am thankful for fast metabolism.

Such A Girl



Katelyn is such a girl. I decided the other night after her bath to put in sponge curlers and see if she would actually sleep with them in...something I haven't dared try before. This is the picture of them in the morning...to my surprise, every curler was intact! I couldn't believe it. I still remember getting these curlers put in my hair when I was little. I figure the sooner she learns that beauty is pain, the better off she'll be!

New and Fabulous Journey!



Okay, beginning a new adventure. Erin is trying to teach me how to do this blog thing, seeing as how my last one failed miserably. I guess this is the smaller of the adventures I'll be coming up on...Brooklyn Michelle is due January 20th! In pregnancy terms, that is about 40 years away, but I keep hoping it will be here sooner than I think, with the help of the busy holiday season to help it along. I'm so excited for everyone to read about all the brilliant and hysterical things my two year old says and does, and all the stupid and embarassing things I say and do. You will all be amazed! Like the other day, Katelyn told me, "Mom, daddy's great. Daddy's like a lion costume." Indeed.
