Bryn discovered the touch lamp today.  Seriously, why do we buy toys for our kids?

Bryn decided she wanted to suck her thumb.  I have a feeling this is going toi be a battle for a while at our house.

I let Bryn feed herself today
She surprised me, she knew how to do it!
And got the bananas in her mouth!!
Most of the time.

Joana and I made some awesome truffles. Delicious. Pretty. Super easy. My kind of treat! To make them beat 4oz. of cream cheese, add 1/3 cup melted chocolate chips (I used more) then add 1/3c. cocoa, keep beating (which made my arm really tired) and gradually add 2c. powdered sugar. When the dough looks consistent throughout, roll into balls and roll in cocoa and powdered sugar. Refrigerate for at least one hour. And then don't eat them all or you get a bellyache!

So, it's 11:00 at night, and my world is perfect. My lunch plate is on top of my tiny garbage, the garbage not quite all in the can, and two batches of laundry are waiting for me on the floor. Bryn is snoring softly in my arms, and her Daddy is snoring softly in bed. The most important people in my life are so close to me, perfectly content and satisfied, and wouldn't choose to be anywhere else. I am humbled by the simpleness of that fact, that we are choosing to be this happy little family, and by choosing, we are.

I pray that I remember this, always.

I think Dad wants a trampoline. I looked out the window, and there he was, bouncing away on his truck. Just kidding, he is cutting it into scrap and needed to break this piece off I guess. He really was bouncing, and it was funny.

Bryn has discovered pickles. And loves them. A lot.
