All in a Day's Work



She passed out in my arms today when I wasn't feeding her. This is rare and I loved it. One moment she was wide awake and the next she was totally gone...


I suppose that figuring out how to roll over {well, almost roll over 'cause that fat little arm gets pinned every time} is exhausting.

Today, as always, was full of blessings. Here are a few:

41. Watching a bluebird in the backyard.

42. The boys having fun at a "boy party" -- a party for boys to do boy things. Chaotic fun.

43. The UV filter fell off of my camera and broke. I'm so thankful I didn't lose the whole lens!

44. Baby's tight grip on my thumb.

45. A little extra sleep this morning. Miss 5 a.m. decided to sleep in an extra hour!

46. Laughing uncontrollably with the boys while reading to them. Otis Spofford is the perfect boy book.

47. Desk work and phone calls accomplished.

48. Listening to Little Brother sing the fruits of the Spirit.

49. Rain. Oh how we needed it, our lawn has practically turned to "grickle grass".

50. Friends.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise;
give thanks to Him and praise His name.
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:4-5

Your little girl is seriously so beautiful. My boys are currently praying for a baby sister.
And I'm so excited to look up that book now for John and Finn!

In exercise Boot Camp one of the markers of fitness: Being able to lie on the floor and roll over without using your arms or legs. Try it...seriously EXHAUSTING.

Thank you for being thankful,

I'm loving your growing list of joys. They make me smile as I think of my own.

And my dear, that little peach fuzz baby of yours is so crazy sweet I can hardly stand it.
