January 5th?!

This might be the only time ever in January in North Dakota that we are out for a walk in sweatshirts and no hats because it is 56 degrees!!!!! I should be cleaning the house or grocery shopping but this seemed so much more important. Totally worth it.

Merry Christmas!!

Judging by the weather we are having, I feel like I should be saying Happy Thanksgiving instead, but my calendar tells me I should be saying Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

I was able to get out and finish Christmas shopping this morning; just finished wrapping presents and getting ready for the morning chaos, made it to church with Sami and got to spend some time with family. Bonus: my mom is still here, although she's not staying at my house anymore.

Today I am thankful that I managed to make it to Target with the girls, and even ran into Karina. I let a man ahead of me at checkout and he bought Sami a pack of bubblegum. I got a hand mixer and am baking cookies for Sami's preschool program. Called my grandma (it's her birthday) with a baking question and completely forgot to tell her happy birthday, even though I've mentioned it to Sami and Joe about five times over the weekend. Also, very thankful that I have enough supplies (minus a stick of butter) to make another round of monster cookies since I forgot to include the oatmeal in the first batch (see picture).

Yet another unbelievably beautiful day outside - December 18th and it was sunny and 55 degrees!  I got to lay in bed until 8am; Stella slept from 7:30 last night until 8:15 this morning when I woke her up because I was worried. Joe made pancakes for the girls (I can't eat them due to the gestational diabetes) and he cleaned up the kitchen (he's usually not around at breakfast time). I got to go to church with Sami and she even snuggled with me; AND someone came up to me after church and told me how sweet she thought it was when she saw Sami resting her head on my belly. Only 3.5 days until my mama is here!

Another beautiful day! A family walk, 1 1/2 hours of kid free time while Joe took the girls to the Harley shop, hot chocolate and the forecast looks like it's going to stay nice and clear so my mama won't have any trouble arriving in Fargo on Wednesday night!!!!!

Santa's @ the Harley Shop!

Thankful

I am going to try something new.  Every day I would like to post what I am thankful for that day.  If I shoot for every day, maybe I will do it once a week. Of course I am always thankful for my family, that my family is healthy, that Jesus died so I could experience life and all of the other most important things, but it's the little things that I want to recognize, too.

So now you know what that's all about.  Happy Friday!!

Today I am most thankful for Grandma Pam, Caribou Coffee, a healthy baby no. 3 appt., this awesome weather we've been having and the SUNSHINE! ...also, thankful for a nap that I am seeing in my near future!

Finally walking - 17 months old!

It's official - Stella's a walker now. She's been taking 5 steps here and there for about a month now, but now she's putting a little more effort into it. She still crawls and knee walks, but we are seeing her walk around a lot!
