Let the Little Ones Come

Friends of the Heart

 

Donna, my friend from Moments Like These, mentioned me as one of her Friends of the Heart and it touched me, thank you so much Donna!  :)

It has taken me a week to draft this post but finally, here are just a few of my friends of the heart (and the rules):

  “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.

 Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

Your 80s Hunk Is

Michael J. Fox

Who's Your 80s Hunk?

HT:  Everyone  :)

I don't know if he would agree...

79

As a 1930s wife, I am
Very Superior

Take the test!

This quiz was fun! I really thought I would not score very high but I guess I'm not oh so bad! ;)

Bittersweet

Renee, over at Crazy Acres, has written a beautiful post about the changes in our lives as mothers. I am beginning to understand her feelings. Even though at this moment, I am carrying a precious little one, I realize how precious and tenuous life is...

I have been feeling sad as I come to the end of my child-bearing years and must look toward the future with no new babies. It will not be long until I too must face a future with no little ones to mother and nurse. I hope I can face this future with joy and acceptance.

Photo of me with baby Marie on her birthday (September 8, 2004):

Marie takes a quiz.

You Are Peeps

You're the type that's more likely to play with your food than actually eat it.

What Easter Candy Are You?

I was a chocolate bunny but Marie (3) is a peep. The above statement is true indeed--she is the second pickiest eater in our house. Though, if it has sugar in it, her palate is remarkably open-minded in its attempts to try a new delicacy--hence her new appreciation of Cadbury chocolate eggs (not the creme ones, the mini chocolate ones--they are divine, if I say so myself!).

Seasonally appropriate! :0)

This quiz is going around so I thought I'd take a stab. I am glad that I'm Easter! :)

You Are Easter

You are an optimistic, hopeful, and genuinely sweet person. Sensitive and affectionate, you are easily touched. You love nature, animals, and anything cute or cuddly. For you, every day is a new chance - no matter what happened yesterday. What makes you celebrate: Almost anything. You love most holidays and celebrations. At holiday get togethers, you do best as: The peacemaker. You can prevent any squabbles that might break out. On a holiday, you're the one most likely to: Remember to include everyone

What Holiday Are You?

I scream...You Scream....

You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

I actually would prefer to be this flavor...:)

HaHaHa!

What Does Your Name Mean?

Hmmm...how did they know?

The stuffing is my favorite part of the Thanksgiving menu! :) Back to laundry! :S

You Are The Stuffing

You're complicated and complex, yet all your pieces fit together. People miss you if you're gone - but they're not sure why.

What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?

Happy Blogoversary to me...

one day late..that is! :)

Last year at this time I had just returned from a trip to the Ozark's and was in my last trimester of pregnancy with baby Joseph. My first post was just a brief introduction but I have had a lot of fun over the last year chronicling my family life.

I am so grateful to God for a healthy baby and beautiful children, for a wonderful husband who (thanks to St. Joseph) managed to survive two lay-offs and loves his job, for a supportive and loving extended family and for friends who are true blue.

Deo Gratias!
