Hey everyone,
My laptop died, so my access to the internet has been diminished. For the time being, I'm enjoying that fact! :) We've been busy getting the old house ready for a new occupant, and that included moving all of the odds and ends out of the old house. We've got everything at the new house, and now it's a matter of getting it all put away...
This week is going to be busy for us. We've got several playdates lined up, and Thursday is a very special day.
This morning, I got a few quiet moments with Burke. During my shower, he had screamed and cried...non-stop. When I got out, he was exhausted from his fit. Since he's a little sick, I snuggled him up into my arms to comfort him. Within five minutes, he was sleeping soundly in my arms.
As I rocked back and forth, I enjoyed the silence. Knowing that precious time was burning off the clock, I made an intentional choice to cherish the quiet moments with my little boy instead of worrying about the day ahead.
Hey there, little girl!
It's your birthday today. You don't know it yet, but the vast majority of your requests will be granted today...especially since you're still a little sick. So far, you haven't been hard to please. You woke up and called out, "Mamasita! I'm awake!" Daddy taught you that little ditty a few days ago, and you think it's very entertaining. :) I'll admit: We do, too.
Today: 5 Me: 0
I feel like i'm fighting a losing battle today! It started last night when Ruby proclaimed that she didn't want to go to the doctor today, because she was afraid of getting a shot. She woke up this morning and hadn't forgotten. in fact, this was her first sentence:
"Mamasita, I'm awake! And I DO NOT want to go to the doctor. Thane tsu." (That's the best way I can think of to phonetically describe how she says Thank You. How I hope she will always say Thank you. It's so cute.)
I feel like my children have grown up a lot over the past week. It seems to happen that way with them. They'll be fairly stagnant in their development for several months and then, BAM!, changes are abundant. Have you noticed that with your kids? Or even in your own life?
In the past week, Burke has:
Every Christmas, Mike's family participates in The Christmas Pickle tradition. Before I met Mike, I had never heard of this tradition. However, I found the pickle very early on in my pickle-finding career. (I believe I found it the second or third year I participated.) My husband, on the other hand, searched for 25 years without ever finding the pickle.
This year, that all changed.
I've really been off the blogging band-wagon, huh? I suppose life has just been very normal and smooth recently. :) And that hasn't been an accident. One of our goals for 2010 is to keep things calm. :) No surprises, no drama. After the past couple of years, we're really looking forward to a low-key year.
Hello! My name is Lindsay, and I am a GREAT mom. :) I mean it. I love my kids with all of my heart. I would sacrifice anything (and everything) to give them the healthiest and most positive start in life. I hug them and kiss them at least once an hour. I tell them how much I love them multiple times a day. I make sure they have three satisfying meals each day. I read them books. I play hide and seek. I feed their baby dolls, build their block towers, and help them cook in their play kitchen. I make them laugh. I s
Your prayers are very much appreciated!
Do you like us? Well? Do ya? Do ya?
Love Mercy
