Blessings

So much has happened in the last month that it seemed like a very good time to count my blessings.

1. My family is healthy
2. Tyrone has a great job that he loves
3. I have a great job that I love
4. Samuel is growing like a weed and learning new things everyday
5. We have a warm, comfortable house to live in
6. My sister is having a great time in New Zealand
7. My sister is letting us use her car
8. The Casino Road Auction raised $22,229
9. We have a ton of amazing volunteers that help out every week at CRM
10. Our baby on the way is 16 weeks and healthy
11. We had a great get-away at the Cabin this weekend
12. We eat breakfast every morning as a family
13. This baby is craving fruit instead of McDonalds
14. We have an awesome church family
15. I saw sunshine today for a few minutes
16. I'm essentially a Stay-At-Home mom, since Samuel doesn't know I'm at work 'cause he's sleeping
17. I'm eating yummy Mini-Cupcakes while writing this blog
18. Both sets of Grandparents live within 5 minutes of our house and love Samuel
19. I have great coworkers that make work fun
20. Tyrone is a great cook

There are so many more things I could list so I'll stop at 20.  I'm so thankful that God takes care of us in such little ways everyday.  He is our provider!

This does lead to a prayer request, both Tyrone and my cars are kaput and we have been praying for guidance on what to do next.

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference.

Family Movie Night

Last night we had our 1st Family Movie Night.  Samuel can almost sit still for about 30 minutes at a time, so I figured he was ready.  We borrowed Cars from my dad and finally got to watch a Blu-Ray movie in our new Blu-Ray player.  Cars seemed like Samuel's speed, he loves Thomas and Friends and cars with faces can't be that much different than trains with faces. Family Movie Night was like embarking on a new adventure, could 3 people with very different tastes and attention spans enjoy the same movie?  Turns out we can for about 30 minutes. At 8:30pm dressed in our PJs we all climbed in to bed and started Cars.  Samuel was so cute sitting between Mommy and Daddy.  He was watched very intently as the cars raced around the track in the opening credits, he identified the helicopter as an airplane and watched for other things he could name.  He tapped his hands to the music and wanted water just like mommy and daddy had.  This family bliss laste...

3 Weeks Yesterday...

As of today I have been the mom to two kids for 3 weeks and 1 day. Wow!  There was a point in time where I thought I'd never have kids.  After we got married we still thought we wouldn't have kids.  After a year and a half of blissful married life, we had a miscarriage.  This got us thinking, maybe one kid would be kinda fun.  Samuel was born two months after our 3rd anniversary. Samuel was so much fun.  A cute little person to hold and love, to explore the world through his eyes.  He fit right into our life.  He was almost too relaxed.  Samuel wasn't big on eating so he slept alot and didn't gain much weight at first.  Once we got the weight gain on the right track he was still an awesome sleeper.  He started sleeping through the night at 2 months.  He almost never cried and was happiest playing on the floor. After Samuel turned one, we thought we had this parenting thing figured out, so why not try for another...
