Today has been a good day. Nothing great or bad just good. I went to Jamie's house for the boys to play together.(I really think Jamie and I get more out of it than the kids do.) We just talked and visited and held each others babies. I came home and the kids took 31/2 hour naps. I took a 2 hour nap and got some house work done. The house was already fairly clean. Some laundry and dishes and that was all. Scott got home fairly early and we had dinner together as a family. The kids were bathed and sent to bed. My sister is driving home tonight and I get to see her tomorrow. I love these good days. Sometimes they are scarce, but that makes them all the more valuable when they do happen. It is this type of day I think about when everything is going wrong. God really knows what you need. I forget that sometimes. He is in control of the good and the hectic. I pray I learn to trust in Him more.

I love Madeleine's Room. It is so nice to have pink everywhere. We will eventually paint it pink, but with 14 foot high ceilings we will hire a professional. I can't wait to make it her Princess Room.

I love bath nights. The kids all love getting baths and are in a good mood. It is also nice because they usually take baths separately and I get some one on one time with them. I love getting to ask them about their day and see it from their perspective. I learned from Luke that Ethan is his best friend when he isn't being mean and Ms. Celia is the best teacher in "all of the land!" I learned from Parker that he wants to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle when he grows up. Raphael if you're wondering which one. I learned from Caleb that he wants to be a teacher when he grows up. Because he wants to help little kids learn cool stuff. These tidbits into the inner workings of our kids minds really lets us see them for who they are. I wouldn't trade bath night for anything. Okay, maybe a margarita once or twice a year!

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago. Everything went well and I got my two week check up that says I can clean and pick my baby up. I have learned a couple things.

1. Morphine makes me very loopy.

2. Percocet makes me act like I am from another planet.

3. No matter how much I have complained about doing housework, not having it done my way and done by someone else is worse.



I am very thankful my mother-in-law came to help out. I couldn't have done this without her. I am equally as thankful to getting my house the way I like it. I have never been so glad to do dishes and laundry. I actually enjoyed it! I also loved picking my little girl up in the morning and snuggling while she takes her bottle. AHHH! The joys of being a wife and mom. May I never take them for granted again..... at least for a week or two!

Caleb loves dressing himself now. While usually he does pretty good every now and then he will wear something like this. I thought this was too good to pass up. And yes, he does have a cape on. At least he does wear clothes, right?

While we were at Blue Spring Manor my mom kept the kids. They had a blast. Saturday they went to Papa's house and Caleb caught 5 fish. He is so proud. Papa fixed fried shrimp for Caleb and he ate over a dozen of them. Madeleine just hung out with Nana and had some girl time while the boys were fishing. They love being with Nana and Papa!

Okay, I turned 29 on Friday. I can't believe this is my last birthday in my 20's. My sweet hubby took me to a bed and breakfast for the weekend. Sorry, no pics we were too busy doing nothing. I had a wonderful facial and took two naps! The best part I had nothing to do for 2 whole days. Our breakfast was incredible and the dinner Saturday night was superb. My hubbie knew exactly what I needed. A day of nothing!
