Out of the blue Abbie nearly slept through the night last night. Only woke once. I am walking around wide awake in disbelief this morning.

Second beautiful daughter became a teenager this week. What is the sure sign that half our children are in or beyond their teens? There is never any coffee left in the pot for us anymore. I didn't see that one coming!
See this?? No coffee. This is serious. Have mercy y'all.

I like doing laundry. Really, I do. I like washing and drying and even folding. Who wouldn't with this kind of help. <g> They fight over who gets to help switch loads. Fortunately for them there are plenty of opportunities around here.

Time it takes to cure the common cold - 3 days this time around. I heart GSE.

Wondering how many pairs of these (the shoes and the tights) we have owned in the last 15 yrs. Thinking it is a LOT. And glad of it. : )

Last but certainly not least, it is March for Life today. I won't be marching since it is the first day we have been home this week. Colin will 'represent.' However I am blessed to be sitting here listening to a ten-year-belt out
"He is all the strength that I will ever neeeeeeeed!" along with the ipod and thanking God we chose life ten times over. It is sometimes blissful, sometimes wrenchingly painful, and always, always a miracle. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord, for every single minute.
God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend. : )
Ok, the little fat feet in shoes are too cute...and I can relate to the no coffee thing--agggh!!

What a beautiful synopsis of the joy of raising children. I only have two littles, and I am in awe of you folks with a houseful. :) God bless you!

Yep. So with you on the coffee shortage problem. And I think you're the only person I know that appreciates the laundry thing like I do. I love every aspect of doing laundry -- even like to iron. And we've had the best talks over folding washcloths and matching socks. (It isn't going away any time soon, so we might as well love it, right?)

I'm loving the sweet chubby feet thing too. I'm so glad to have lots and lots of tights at our house at last!

God bless you too, Kim!
I am wishing I had little Mary Janes around here again. My baby girl just turned 5...sob. I WILL find out what we are having around my 40th in March...I can't think of a better birthday gift...I would be happy either way..then there is the whole name-thing...I digress...see how bad mommy-induced attention deficit is without coffee?!
I hear ya on the coffee thing. I miss it terribly. Haven't been a able to drink it for the last 2 months...this too shall pass...LOl
