Random Monday

* Today is 02-04-08. I love even numbers. My Mom does too. We're just weird like that.
* We walked to the library today, and it was Elijah's first outdoor stroller excursion. You can do that when it's 70 degrees in February. I'm glad for a sunny (though muggy) day.
* For the 2nd week in a row, I have our meals planned for each night. I am thankful for the ability to be organized in at least one area of my life.
* We had hours of productive schoolwork, for the first time since this baby was born. I'm grateful for the ability to teach my kids and enjoy doing it.
* Just 11 days till U2 - 3D is at the Rave in Bham. Can't wait.
* My Mom came Friday and spent the night, then my Dad joined us Saturday and they both were with us almost all day and then we ate dinner with my brother. I value family time.
* Worshiping through praise music at church Sunday blessed my heart. I appreciate those who share their talents and gifts through serving and ministering to our body of believers. Autumn joined us and that was cool.
* All my household appliances work. What a blessing they are.
* My husband just finished his work week this morning and lost no babies this past week. Now he's home for several days. YEA for a life partner and best friend who loves me so!
* I watched my first entire Super Bowl game and the underdog I was rooting for pulled it out in dramatic fashion. Isaac and Abigail keep cheering for the Giants. That reminds me of "Madagascar" which I LOVE - 'All hail the New York Giants!' hee heee...
* Made a new friend at Abi's gym today, and realized multiple connections we share - a believer, homeschooler, friend of a friend. Very cool.
* Ate queso and chips with my sweet Overthinker friend and watched our kids celebrate her middle boy's birthday. How amazing to have a friend where each member of my family adores her entire brood and never get tired of each other.
* I'm so, so thankful that it's been two years since my Mom found out she had cancer, and she's cancer-free today.
* Loving on this sleeping babe in my arms, while typing on a laptop, while sitting in my recliner, is so relaxing and fun. I love technology. Dad, thanks for the 'puter.

Have an awesome week friends!!

What a full & sweet day!!! Such encouragement...you're doing it...you're a new mom, running errands, walking w/the stroller, home schooling,...& typing while holding little E cub. Yippy!!!! I am so thankful your "what should be cold February Day" turned into a bright, sunny, breezy day (w/a little mugginess on the side). :)

Great post! Full of homeschool, praise, blessings...what more could you ask for? Hope your Tuesday is just as great! And I so get the typing from the recliner...I am doing it now! Isn't it a blessing?

I loved your post, all except the cheering for the NY Giants. I'll let it slide, I guess. =)

That is awesome. I'm very jealous over having your meals planned for the next week. I don't have a new baby and still am not there! :) I saw the U2-3D preview when we went to the 3D Hannah Montana Concert Movie. Looks like it will be amazing!
