Happy Memorial Day?

I don't exactly know why people say "Happy" Memorial day. Today I remember. And remembering those that have fought and passed for my freedom, does not leave me feeling happy. It leaves me somber and thankful. Today I hope you remember, and not only those who have fallen but those families who have been left behind.

Rest In Peace Lance Corporal Brad Shuder. You are loved and missed.

Thankful Thursday

Well tonight was Military Appretiation Night at Chick-fil-a. Our entire family ate for free. So tonight, I am super thankful for our free dinner! And the fact that my girls played so hard that they instantly fell asleep when their heads hit the pillows! But more than any of that, I am SO stinking thankful that we live in a place where people get it. People understand what our troops are doing and sacraficing. I love knowing that when I have to be away from my husband, others appreciate what we endure so that they don't have to. Lastly, I am thankful that I get to celebrate this memorial day with my husband this year!

Wondering Wednesday

Today I wonder how I could possibly be this grumpy and this sleepy at the same time. I wonder. :)

Awww

I was sitting on the couch earlier watching the Boston v. Orlando game, when I realize that I am watching by myself. Strange, right? (mainly because it's not what I would typically choose to watch) Then I realize that J went upstairs to say prayers with Big Sissy before bed, HALF an hour ago! So I go up there to see what's going on and low and behold he feel asleep in her top bunk with her. It was so sweet! One of those awww moments.

And looking at this picture reminded me of an equally sweet photo from the day Big Sissy was born!

Simply Blessed.

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for the little things. Monkey slept in until 7:30 this morning, I am THANKFUL! Big Sissy made her bed this morning without me asking, I am THANKFUL! J didn't have to leave for base until 9am this morning, so we got to have breakfast and a nice morning together, I am THANKFUL! I've been to the gym, ran my errands, showered, fed the kiddos, did school with Big Sissy and put them down for naps, ALL before 1, I am THANKFUL! :) Today I am simply blessed.

Wondering Wednesday

Today is a BIG WONDER!!! You know what I wonder? ...

I WONDER how I got pregnant while being FULLY cautious and FULLY using protection! ;) But with that said yes, I am pregnant with baby #3! And yes although this was a huge surprise, J and I couldn't be happier that the Lord is blessing us with another child!

I wonder if this baby knows that he or she is loved more than it could ever imagine from the moment I saw those lines on that silly little stick.

I wonder if this baby is a boy or a girl.

I wonder if this baby will look like me, or my hubby, or both of us.

I wonder how my girls will adjust.

I wonder why God is so good!

I wonder at what point I will officially lose my mind!

Coma please

Things have been insane around this house the past week. And I mean insane. Between doctors visits, dental checkups, house guests, soccer practices, soccer games, church, Mom's group, the gym, kiddo sleepovers and potty training... well, I just want a nap! Maybe even a coma. I know I have some awards to address and I promise that I am uber thankful and will participate as soon as possible! I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. :)
