2. A gift from Devon Pawless for Baby G. Thank you, Devon!!!

3. My mom being so kind and picking the kids up from school for me.

4. A new picture with all four of my kids.

5. Attempting to take a picture of all four of the kids WITH the two dogs... lets just say we will try again some other time.. the dogs did not cooperate. lol. 

6. "What-ever-you-can-find-for-dinner" nights.

7.  Turning the heater just a little bit warmer.

8.  Jacob asking to hold the baby for the first time ever.  And he even fed him! So cute sitting back and watching him be such a great big brother.

9. Lindor Truffles - Coffee from Roz.

10.  Emma continuously trying to give me hints (even tho i already know what it is but,  pretend i don't) for the gift that Jordan bought me for Christmas. Of course she doesn't try to spoil the surprise on the gift SHE bought me.. lol

Where has the time gone??

So the last time I posted to this blog was in 2006....??!! Where has the time gone? I thought I would start posting on this blog again for friends and family who do not have Facebook.

So many changes have happened in our lives since 2006 but one thing has stayed the same..... i still have the most amazing children!!

I will start posting my "Little Things" here, as well as some pictures for you all to see.

So, here are my little things for today..

1. Today was Gabe and I's Anniversary (two years). We had a nice dinner at Carrabbas (a fave of both of ours!) last night.
2. The anticipation to see my kids every Monday after school.
3. Shopping with Gabe for Amanda's gift. Gabe always gets people the best gifts! I am sure she is going to LOVE it! I know i do!!!
4. Baby Gabriel quietly sitting on my lap while i blog. :)
5. A hot bath on a cold night.
6. Emma still wanting to help with the baby every single night. (it never gets old for her)
7. Starbucks Caramel Brulee Latte
8. A later than normal dispatch time for Gabe.
9. Only having 15 pounds to loose to get back to my "pre pregnancy weight".
10. Watching Gabe with the baby.
11. More well deserved straight A's on my kids progress reports.
12. Hand-me-down baby clothes.
13. Packages (Christmas presents) on my door step when i get home. (this one was Bill's bat warmer. i am still trying to figure out why you would need to warm a bat?? lol)
14. Seeing my Papa for a few minutes the other day. He always brings a smile to everyone's face, whether they know him or not.. he is a riot!
15. Being a (temporary) stay at home mom.
16. Catching Emma on video when she has no idea i am taping her. (she was looking up Just dance 2 videos on Youtube and copying the moves)
