Like Mother Like Daughter, Eh?
Her eyes are holdin' blue and they look
the same as my baby pictures
My dear husband lookin' tough.
I have no words.
I just want to say how blessed I am for the family I have and the life I lead. I figured I would write it down now to remind me later amidst the inevitable tears and tantrums.
The Lord really has answered so many prayers in my short life and truly made my cup to overflow. I have a husband who loves the Lord and to do His bidding. Who still dotes on -and has eyes only for- me 3+ years later and will help out in just about all facets of parenting when he is able (including diapers, ladies!) Granted a lot of the playing around we've been doing and the sense of slow-living will soon change come the 28th. Still, it's nice while it lasts. The Lord has blessed me with two absolutely gorgeous and intelligent children. Arielle cracks us up with her sidelong looks, surprise sentences and thoughts. Elly sleeps well at night. Although she stays up for a spell after her 9:30pm and 4:00am feeding she will smile/laugh herself back to sleep. (Often I fall asleep before she does) How fun is that??? Talk about in love with life and secure in our family. I'm so glad the Lord saw fit to give us another happy child. I personally am doing well: losing weight since my husband has been pushing us hard in work-outs, Coming up with some neat ministry ideas (just have to put feet to them), Neighbors who care enough to bring gifts for my kids, cooking new recipes that haven't flopped (whew!), generally close to my Messiah and well. . . blessed :).
Not to mention seeing the Lord work in a mighty way over the weekend. My mom is pregnant again (Lisa for those who were confused) and the doctors thought she might have had an ectopic pregnancy. Many heartfelt prayers later we find out the baby is healthy, strong and Mom's nausea or other nagging symptoms have flown the coop or lessened to boot. God is GOOD and I am SOOO excited to meet my new little brother or sister in a few months!!
The video is random footage that should make you smile. Arielle is her usual self and filled with antics. The footage with Elly was taken around 10:10pm at night after her feeding. Usually she goes back to sleep but lately she hasn't. Not that she complains. In fact, as you'll see, she just wiggles and smiles. For those who wondered: No, she can't see me - I stayed out of view to see what she was doing.
Love You All and as always: Enjoy

Heyloo, I check here almost every day but lately I haven't been leaving comments cuz it still won't remember my ID some times. =S Oh well...
Anywho, have you realized that you have the totally cutest little girls in the world?? =P Hahahaha, looks like Ari wants to try swimming, huh? Man alive, she's getting so big and old. lol I remember when she was just a little tiny doll that did sit-ups! -_^ Hehehe!! And Elly's getting so big, too...I cannot wait until we go down there to see ya'll, I miss ya'll so bad!! Life's just, well, too boring without you. ^_^ Nothing happens. Nothing breaks. And we don't go around in stores bugging people about how much money it would cost if we bought everything. lol -_^
It's going to be really weird being "big sisters" to this baby, isn't it? I wish you could be up here and be with us. Mom's got a belly already. ^_^
Well I need to go change(I made cookies with Julia and she splattered the batter all over (including me!))but I wanted to let you know that I love you, miss you, and I can't wait to see ya'll in the winter. (ooh, it seems too far away!!)
Love you lots,
Toria
