The 2 babies that were due in August have arrived! Liam was born July 30th, and MY BABY, baby Caiden, was born today! AND, the bestest bestest bestest part of all is that my mother in law, who we didn't think would live to meet him, walked into the room as he WAS CROWNING! She has never seen a child be born other than the 7 she gave birth to. She was invited to all 4 of mine and didn't make it to any (which is fine), but the one that REALLY counts, she made it to. Not that Brian's baby girl doesn't count (due in September), but this is her only daughter, and giving birth is something that ties mothers and daughters together in a way that only doing that can. AND SHE GOT TO SEE! What a beautiful day!
Speaking of daughters, have I told you lately how much I adore mine? Last night, as is customary on weekends, there is a big sleepover in CJ and Josh's room. They were trying to listen to the Twins game downstairs, lights off, and Julia was being a stinker and making noise. CJ resorted to tattling (or getting help since she wasn't listening to him). I gave her one more chance, and she just couldn't resist. So, I had to follow thru. She had to come up with her stuff and sleep in her own room. She had some tears about it, but did as asked and went to her room.
Yesterday I was so very tired and sore at the end of the day, so it was a good half hour before I dragged my butt off the couch and went pee. I went to check on her. My adorable daughter was sitting up in bed, lights on, having a cooking show. : ) She was SOOOO cute. I said "Cute girl, it's time to go to bed now. " and Cute Girl said "Mom, WHY did you check on me???!" tee hee hee. But she went to bed. I LOVE how her imagination works, and I LOVE that she is this little independent thing. Who listens well to me anyway.
I just got a dirty look from hubba hubba who rode by on the lawn mower. He wants me to rest and this is my idea of resting but he hates the computer. : )
LOVE TODAY!
