Eight short years ago...

I had a leisurely day off before going into labour with my first baby... and today (in stark contrast), I made Rice Krispies treats for the Sparks and Brownies Skate-n-Sing annual event, went to work, had lunch with a friend (that part was leisurely anyway!), ate supper in about five minutes flat, went to half of my dance class, attended the Sing part of the Skate-n-Sing (Neil -and Georgia- attended the Skate part), put the older girls to bed, and baked cupcakes for Sophia's classroom birthday celebration tomorrow. And I still have things to do before bed... but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

***
Today I'm thankful for:

  • the miracle of babies (I think they're all miracles, but if you want to read a particularly amazing baby story, check out "The Cole Creation" posts on manontheinside.com -- Kolette and Jason Hall received their little miracle early this morning!)
  • hugs and kisses from my children
  • friends

  • To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
