Home and quiet

Everyday is a special gift from God. I thank him everyday for my family, my home, my job(stay at home mom) and the financial means for all of these. Right now I feel blessed to sit in a quiet home while Blaine and Mia are playing so nice in the basement and George has been asleep for the last hour. I am just overwhelmed with the reality of how fortunate we are. I have recently been following a couple of family blogs that have small children who have leukemia. It literally makes me feel I'll for them! I can't imagine the fear, worries, pain, and angry feelings that must cross over them. But they are so positive and able to appreciate every moment with their child. One in particular, just lost her son Tyler. She is an amazing mom who has 3 boys. They are all pretty much the same ages as our kids. His funeral was yesterday... I just keep reminding myself to hold my babies close...I swear I am going to rock george to sleep until he is 18! And I will always encourage our kids to sleep in our bed. Those are the best cuddle times.

Anyways, I just love my family so much...nothing else matters more than being a mom and a wife. Even though I suck at house cleaning and laundry oh and cooking...but I am a good mom! :)

So Blaine had his second basketball game this morning. I didn't get to go because it was at 8 in the morning (getting out the door with all 5 of us and be somewhere by that time is nearly impossible) and because I had to teach stroller class. Randy said it was bad. Kids just don't understand the game and their skills are so raw that it's just rough.

Mia had gymnastics again on wednesday. She did good. She didn't fall this time on the beam. She actually did really well on the beam. I love it. I love watching her. I love seeing her little butt in her little black outfit. She is the cutest!

George loves randy. If he is around I'm chopped liver. Today they were outside together and George fell and hit his fore head on the cement. Left him a scuff mark right in the middle of his head! Randy scooped him up with his big arms and just held him. The sweetest! Best little buddies they are.

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday. We are going to make tacos and ice cream cake for his dinner. I'm excited:) love my parents and I love that they live across the street...I'm never moving and they can never die (that's a whole other story in my heart)
