Today's Post: Thankful that RoBrotz watched the Peanut this morning so Mama could go out with other moms sans kiddos (except for Bean, she tagged along just in case she got hungry). It was a very nice change of pace!!!
I went out with my Mom's group down if Q-town today. I think this was the first morning since Bean was born that I was out with only one child. Since Bean doesn't really take a bottle all that well, I figured I'd take her with me. She ended up sleeping the entire time anyway. It was a nice change of pace!

Thankful for Little Things (1 and 2)
Today's Post: Thankful for little things, like Peanut giggles and chattering as well as Bean smiles and cooing.
Peanut loves to chat. Most times, I don't understand what she says. Other times, I've learned her 'language'. Biebers = Diapers, Non-nons = Cheerios, Caw-caw = coffee, Jeeewww = juice, kakers = crackers, booo = book, and there are so many more. She loves to giggle and overall, is just a very happy child.
Bean is really starting to smile and coo. I'm so excited because she's my little scowler. She takes after her Mama way too much!
Bean Smiling!
Both my girls' smiling, at the same time!!

Thankful for Friends and Family
Today's Post: Jesus has blessed me with wonderful friends and amazing family that I'm extremely grateful for!
I really don't think I need to go into details too much with this one, because those close to me should know how thankful I am to them. I may not go too much into detail about how much they mean to me, but they truly do.

Thankful for Freedom
Today's Post: Thankful to God for our freedom today but I know it doesn't come without a price. Remembering those who perished 70 years ago in the attack on Pearl Harbor today.
I cannot believe it's been 70 years. From what I can understand, Pearl Harbor was our Grandparent's generation's 9/11. Casualties included 2,335 servicemen and 68 civilians, 1178 people were wounded. And the day after the attack, the U.S. declared war on Japan. It was also what drove the US into WWII. At least, that's what I remember from my high school history class. Hitler thought the US was too focused on Japan, but he was wrong. I am thankful for all our service men and women, as well as those at home who support them.

Thankful for St. Nick
Today is St. Nicholas' Day! You know, the guy they based Santa off of? Yea, not many people know who he is. He was known to place coins in shoes that were left in the doorstop in the 4th century. We always put our shoes out the door at school at St. Isidore's. I loved it. My friend put on her facebook about putting your shoes out. So, I decided to do it for the girls. Obviously, Bean had no clue what was going on, but Peanut was sure excited to see cookies and chocolate in her shoes in the morning!
Shoes with Loot!
Peanut sees the cookie and points them out!
Ooo, cookies for breakfast!
And today for the season, I wanted to do some fun crafts. It was rainy, been rainy, so we needed to do something fun. I decided to do Bean's footprint as a tree. I attempted to do a hand, but she still holds her hand clenched in a fist most of the time. For Peanut, we did her handprint. We made three of each, so that Grandma, Grandpa, and RoBrotz and myself can all have one!

Thankful for Being Happy
Today's Post:
When I was lost and turned away from You, You refused to let me walk away. You stayed with me and made sure to put people in my life that would help me on my journey back to You. Thank you.
For a long time, after my mom passed away and I went out of state to college, I fell into a deep depression. It's not coincidental that I had lost my faith at this same time. I wondered how a God I loved could take the one person I loved and adored more than anything (at that time) away from me. After a long time, and my wonderful husband, I was able to return from the terrible depressed place I was in for almost 5 full years.
God was there for me, no matter what I believed. He gave me the friends (mainly friend, Laura, throughout college) to battle my demons. He saved me from myself. He stood beside me and helped take the pain away when I asked him.
It wasn't until I had my baby girl, Peanut, that I truly turned to Him with my praise and worship.
