Thankful Summary

Just as I thought, I didn't have the chance to blog every day this week, but I did  jot down my thankful things each day so that I wouldn't fall off the Twenty-One Day Challenge bandwagon.

 Wednesday

Prayer time with my co-workers. Sometimes it's easy to forget that we're not the only ones with problems. I start each and every work day in prayer with at least two of my co-workers. This all started a few months ago when one of my friends discovered her husband was having an affair. Devastated and broken, she wanted nothing else but God to restore her marriage. I offered to pray with her after talking that day and we decided to start each school day this way.

Joel Osteen, summed up my day of thanks perfectly:

"Philippians 1:28 says, 'Do not be intimidated by your enemies.' You may be up against a giant obstacle right now, but put your shoulders back and hold your head up high. You are not weak. Those for you are greater than those against you. "

Wednesday Aria also gained more experience in feeding herself.





Thursday

 Quiet nights of putting my feet up after Aria goes to bed and watching a movie with Levi. Now that's the good life and something to be thankful for.

Aria crawls forward tiny bits at a time, but usually she crawls backwards. Thursday she crawled backwards and got herself stuck under her play table.


Levi and I found this hilarious, but Aria- not so much.

All was made well with messy spaghetti.




Friday

 Today I'm thankful to be able to go out to eat with Levi and Aria. No cooking to worry about, no dishes to clean.





Aria even got her own fortune.


I don't think we need a fortune cookie to tell us Aria will be one smart cookie herself.

This is what makes my world go 'round:


What are you thankful for today?

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
