Reasonable Resilience

So Noah went in for his two week appointment today. Someone had to stay home with Grace because she was sleeping. I got to go with Noah because I carry the milk with me at all times and Eric stayed home. Noah was sleeping until I had to take all of his clothing off and weigh him and measure him. It took the doctor 20 minutes to get into the room in which time I really had to use the bathroom. I left with Noah to use the facilities and Noah screamed the entire time. SCREAMED! Beet red screaming. All the while the doctore was looking at hime Yelling to ask questions. Me: sweating and more than likely leaking from all of the baby cries. I got home and he had fallen asleep in the car. Grace was sleeping Eric was on the computer I had a dentist appointment that I went to Worried about leaving a cranky baby I was antsy to get out of there. An hour later I came home to a silent home. Noah was STILL sleeping, Grace JUST woke up and Eric did the DISHES. Do you ever feel as though you may be bei...

Here's Noah. . . I was trying to take a picture for the announcement card I would like to make. . . I think he thought it was time to eat. . . Needless to say, none of them work for me. . . What do you think?

This is my family. And, I'm pretty sure this is it. It is so beautiful to me I think I will post it here to remember it all the time. Thanks for looking

Sara, I saw that you put up a post about a song and the lyrics must have spoken to you. Well, I have no trouble saying that not only did these lyrics speak to me but also Jason himself. You can tell Eric too. I think Sara you may be the only one who can attest to this, and possibly my husband, yes Eric, but think of every guy I have ever been attracted to sans Eric Now watch I just think of them all watching this and thinking, could she be thinking of me? LOL

I rememer hearing it around graduation time, both from high school and college and I didn't think much of it. Today is the first day of the rest of your life? I thought it all on my own today. Sitting in front of the tv while having a little Mommy Doggy time with Lucy I thought you know, I've had a lot of first days. Not only graduation, but well before that. Starting my life, school, leaving school, my first boyfriend, kiss, drive, job. Since I've been married I can't tell you how many firsts there have been, I honestly can't remember them all. But tomorow for some reason sticks out as a big first day. My son is being born, My daughter won't be "it" anymore, my husband will have a baby boy, my mom will have two grand sons and I'll be a new mom again. I thought of Moses and how many first he must have had. Two "mothers", two families, and then what it must have been like to come to the realization that he was not who he thought he was. Th...

To all of you who were raised on TV shows like Mr. Rogers, CareBears , or even My Little Pony BEWARE I think it must have happened by mistake, but I wasn't paying attention to what Grace was watching and it all fell apart. Grace was watching Dora or Diego or something innocent like that and I must have been doing laundry, or dishes or something unnecessary like that. Well, in the afternoon, if your child is watching Nickelodeon and those "innocent" shows are over, you need to take heed. Turn the channel and never go back. Big kids get home from school and like to watch things like Avatar, The power of Juju , El Tigre , Scooby Doo (which Grace loves as well) But worst of all, SpongeBob SquarePants What happened to all the good shows? Where has quality Television gone? I could have PBS on all day. but not even I would do that to my child. At any rate, My sweet, precious, little girl is in love with Spongebob Squarepants Although Eric and I can sit and laugh at the w...

Lucy just peed at my feet because she has a urinary tract infection and I thought my water broke.
