Sweet blessings this week!

My little graham has been such a tropper during all of these changes the last few weeks. He has been having lots of fun seeing family and friends and having the time of his life playing with his blocks, trains, balls, sticks, and anything to do with being outside!! Thank you all who have come to take him to the park, to get ice cream, for play dates at your house (even though you have kids!!!!), taking him to music class...all of these little things have been HUGE! I want to say thanks! He does too! He has had so much love recently...he has been so sweet to jump in the car and go with whoever to give mommy the resting time she needs to get Ellie here safely. Thank you Graham for being such a big boy during this different time. You have been precious!

Wednesday morning I was taking a shower and I heard to door bell ring! I thew my robe on thinking it was most likely someone I knew. I waddled to the door and their was a random man standing there holding these beautiful flowers. I said out loud- "oh gosh", So I just did some motion to tell him to place the flowers on the ground and I would get them in a sec! I opened the door and tears just started streaming down my face. I had no clue who they were from, but the joy of these bright colors just brought tears of thankfulness to me! I brought them inside, and read the sweet card from my brother and his wife Sarah, and my new little twins! They made my day! I couldn't believe the timing, it was like God delivered these flowers straight to my heart. They are now sitting in my kitchen and they are such a sweet weekly blessing! Thank you Bruners for my sweet flowers! I love them, it was perfect timing!
Ok- I love anything to do with cake! Anything! I love cupcakes, cake, anything! And, yes, strawberry anything is amazing right now to me! Being pregnant there is something so so yummy about strawberry, anything chocolate, and randomly- anything that has tomatoes in them (that's weird huh?)! So my dear friend Tori stopped by this week and brought our family and Mike's mom some strawberry cupcakes! They were a great sweet treat to brighten our spirits and tummies! Ellie sure did like them too! =)

We really have felt so much love these last few weeks, with text, e-mails, cards, meals, visits, and even the small things, helping me get Graham in his car seat (so I don't have to lift him), taking him on a stroll, playing with him upstairs while I nap, watching him while I am at the doc, I never thought all these things would ever be something that would be hard. So- truly from my heart to yours, I can't express my thanks for these blessings this week! Thankfully, we have made it one more week with Miss Ellie in me!
