Leap Year!

Today was a really good day for so many reasons.

I woke up for work, only to get a phone call (literally about 2 minutes later) saying that SCHOOL WAS CANCELLED!  I looked out the window at the slush and snow and laughed because it didn't look that bad, but was SO THANKFUL for the whooole day off.

I read, painted nails, took a bath, and made some soup before heading out to play with kd, rd, cz, and hz where I ate three amazing muffins (yes, three) and a little steamed hot chocolate. 

I am SO BLESSED by the friends God has surrounded me by (and their beautiful babies).  I don't know what I would do without them.

On another note, these last two weeks have been "Operation: Clean out the refrigerator, freezer, and cupboards".  I tend to like to stock up on stuff and it's just gotten obsessive.  So, I've been slowly clearing out unnecessary stock of groceries.

Today's goal: use up lentils, frozen ginger, and frozen bananas. 

I made a really good spinach lentil soup and chocolate chip banana bread.  Please make this soup...you'll like it

Missing you already

Dear littlest love,

As your birthday approaches, I waver between excitement of your homecoming to the Lord, where you will be in the presence of untainted glory and joy, and a terrible ache in my heart that is starting to miss you more than I knew I was capable of.  You are so precious to me and I treasure your little life and spirit and will miss my 24/7 little companion.

Tomorrow, your daddy and I are going to one more ultrasound.  I am looking forward to seeing you again!  We're hoping that we can find out if your a little lady or lad so we can pray for you by name.

Loving you the best I know how,
your mama
