"It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.."

I've decided that weekends are not for resting anymore!  We just stay busy in this family.. I'll rest when I'm old I guess!
Saturday, I spent most of the day cleaning the disaster my house had become!  We had multiple loads of laundry lining the hallway (I'm embarrassed to say how many!), and cleaning out Laine's room took forever!  I finally cleaned out her drawers and put up the last of her newborn clothes.  Holding up those little sleepers that she wore right after she came home from the hospital made me SO sad.. I miss her being that tiny.  It never fails.. when we are out and about someone will make a comment about how little she is! This cracks me up, because to me she is SO big compared to that sweet, cuddly six pound baby we brought home!  As sad as it makes me to see her growing so fast, I am excited about the years to come.  We have already made so many fun plans for this baby girl and I can't wait to share them with her!  We are going to have a blast in the coming years!
Saturday night was Jon's speech and debate teams end of the year banquet.  It was the longest, most drawn out event, and of course, we had to take Laine.  After hour two, I started to get worried about how Laine was going to last till the end, but she did.  She was the most PERFECT child.. even better than some of the high schoolers!!!  She whimpered, I kid you not, ONCE in FOUR AND A HALF HOURS!!!!!  I think she was enjoying being the center of attention!  She was laughing and smiling at everybody.. What a joy she is!
Sunday, we finished the rest of the cleaning that I didn't get to on Saturday.. its sad when your place is so bad that it takes two days to clean.. especially when its as tiny as ours is!!  Oh well.. I've had more important things to do!  The rest of the day was spent running errands and then relaxing with my little family.
As simple and boring as this weekend may have been to most, to me its all everyday wonderful!  I know I say it in every post, but I am incredibly blessed!  I can't thank God enough for the things he has given me in my life.  I have the most wonderful husband who I love more and more everyday.  He makes me laugh till my stomach hurts and I can't imagine life without him.  We have a large, wonderful, and supportive family that would do anything for us.. that is more than many people can say.  And most importantly, He made us the parents of the most beautiful, happy, and healthy baby girl.  I truly could not ask for anything more than this crazy, wonderful, hectic, and beautiful life!
