what's new?

I can't quite get the hang of this whole blog thing.  I think about posting often, but I feel bad not always having pictures to go with my posts.  Oh well.  Today I'll just share what's on my mind (again).

My baby, Micah, has a double ear infection.  He was crabby and feverish all of last week, and this week he is just crabby - and clingy.  I'm trying to enjoy snuggling with him, but this also means I get nothing done around the house.  There are dirty dishes in the sink, and a floor that needs to be mopped, AND a bathroom that desperately needs cleaning. 

Caleb has been a joy lately.  He has been saying the funniest things (for example, "Mom, are spiders afraid of lava?").  Plus, we have gotten lots of positive feedback from his teachers at school.  Recently, he was very kind and helpful to a new student at school.  At home, he has been really helpful with his baby brother.  He is such a blessing.

Mark and I are going to celebrate our eighth anniversary next week.  Wow!  Eight years?!  I can't believe it's been this long.  I love when landmarks roll around and I just sit back and take stock of my life and my many blessings.  For the most part, I am exactly where I thought I would be at this point in my life.  That's a pretty good feeling.

All this to say I am definitely counting my blessings today.
