Thankful Thursday

I've read other blogs that do this weekly post and I think it's a great idea, so here goes......

I am thankful that tonight is girls night with several ladies from my Sunday school class.  I can already taste that Copper River salad! Yumm!  Also thankful thay I have a husband who is 

always willing to have a night at home with Greyson so that I can get away.

I am thankful that Kevin has a few jobs lined up in the next couple of weeks, and that he talked to a new contractor today who may give him work!  Being self-employed in this economy is STRESSFULL!!!!!!

I am thankful for my beautiful little boy who is healthy and happy.  See....

And even though I dont have the pictures or video on my computer yet,  I am thankful that our little GIRL also appears to be healthy and growing right on track!  I am also thankful it is consignment sale time so that hopefully I can sale some of Grey's clothes to get money to buy all that pink stuff!  We have hardly talked names at all, but I'll keep you posted.

A tale of two Januarys

Last January I VERY happily packed away my maternity clothes into a big tub and pushed it into the extra bedroom.  Today, this January, I pushed that big tub back into my bedroom and not-so-happily went through those same maternity clothes so that I could wash them and have them ready to wear again.  **sigh**  I was worried that I would pop a lot sooner this time, but I was about 19 weeks last time when I moved into maternity clothes, and I was 19 weeks yesterday and I'm still in most of my regular pants.  I did notice this morning that I have gained 3 pounds.  And the fun begins....

Prayer Request

I saw this on another blog I'm addicted to and wanted to pass the story on so that people can be praying for this baby and her family. Mom went to the hospital on Friday expecting to deliver a healthy baby girl. She is NOT healthy, and they are not sure what is going on and if she will even make it. Read the blog, say a prayer, pass it on.

Grey's Sunday afternoon

Grey's method for folding/putting away laundry:

Step 1- Put clothes Mom has already folded back into the laundry basket.

Step 2- Pull basket down and crawl inside to take those clothes back out. (This is when I got out the camera).

Step 3- Find a drawer, any drawer, to stuff the clothes into.

Step 4- Relax after your hard work but stealing Mom's cup and spend 15 minutes trying to get something to drink out of it.  If there's nothing but ice in it, use the straw to poke a hole in the bottom of the cup and pour the ice out in the floor.  Eat it as fast as you can before Dad cleans it up.

Birthday Pictures

Okay, now that the pictures are up I am remembering that they load backwards, so.....here are out-of-order pics of Greyson opening presents, playing with the balloons which we loved, eating his cake with the candle and a fork, loving on his cousin Averi who he is just crazy about, and crashed out with Kevin right after everyone left!  

One year ago today

We were sitting in the hospital, i.v.'s started, nerves going crazy, knowing that we would never go home as just the two of us ever again.  It's been a crazy year, but so fun.  How is that t-niny baby we met that night already big enough to go over to the pantry this morning, open the door, pull out the bag of goldfish, and have himself a snack while I fixed my oatmeal?  Can't wait to see what (and WHO) we meet this next year!

Double Fisting

We are working with Grey to learn to feed himself.  I decided a fork would be better to start with then a spoon- way less messy.  Grey knew exactly what to do with his fork- this kid doesn't play around when it comes to food!  He also prefers to have a fork for each hand.  Here he is tonight eating leftovers from lunch, turkey and dressing, squash casserole and green beans.
