I haven't done one of these in a while...

  • Stick a fork in me. I'm done. Seriously. I'm tired, big, and, well, done being pregnant. Unfortunately, we do still have a while to go. I fully expect to go early, since I always do - but my babies haven't come any earlier than a week and a half or so. This week I'll be 38 weeks...anytime would be fine for me! The crib is set up, the clothes are washed, the tiny Christmas dress is waiting...all we lack is our precious baby girl.
  • It's supposed to snow. I'm so into that.
  • Last night, Sean built a fire in our kiva outside. We spent a while outside, all four of us, cuddling next to the fire (and the dog). It's just so fun out there! I know we'll get lots of use out of that little spot in our backyard. Can you say s'mores?
  • Our home is festive, warm, and Christmas-y. Love it.
  • I'm so glad I get to be a stay-at-home mom.

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

Image
  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
