I am Blessed

A few things I love...

-The things our sweet girl says. Putting her down for a nap or for bedtime takes a little longer these days. Not because she cries for us to turn on her light or turn off her fan (we have worked that out), and not because she doesn't want to go to bed, but because every time we give her a kiss goodnight she holds up one finger to her puckered lips and says, "one more time mama...one more time". She does this multiple times and we could do this all night. I finally have to put a limit to the "one more times", but we do love it so.

-Feeling the baby move all around and do somersaults in my belly. Just imagining what she looks like and the faces she is making in there makes me smile :)

-How Marlee won't let her daddy sleep in. Finally it is his turn!!! She gets up in the mornings turns to daddy and says, "time to get up daddy, time to get up....(he ignores her) ...pweese daddy, pweese" I am sitting in the living room just listening and laughing to myself. When Zach finally gives in and opens his swollen sleepy eyes she says, "Good morming daddy! So glad to see you!" Who wouldn't wake up smiling with that much sweetness greeting them for the brand new day.

-Zach being on a normal sleep schedule.

-Marlee wanting to take everything she owns when we leave the house and I tell her no, but she simply states, "just one, I take it" all with a smile. Someone please tell me how to unwrap even the smallest part of me from around her little finger!?

-Anytime any sort of music plays..."I dance"

-Watching her dance

-Watching her ask daddy for hugs so they can dance together!

-Everything my husband does for me. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. He makes me whole.

-Marlee pointing to her cheek swollen by a grape..."Look at me mama, look at me" while pointing to her cheek.

-Marlee putting my clothes on her head, her pink stool on her head, or doing just about anything silly and still saying, "look at me mama"

-"I love you" she says this all the time and each time it is the best feeling.

-Watching Zachary battle the wasps in the back yard. Just seeing his face when he is on the winning side.

Well I have so many more, but must stop for now. Stay tuned!
