A sip of cider and catching up..


Oh hiiii, yes, we're still alive and well here!
Thanksgiving has come and gone here last weekend.. and I'm still sipping cider and nibbling leftover ham.  Most of the leaves have fallen around here, though a few trees are still ablaze against these rainy grey days.

Things I'm thankful for right about now:
+ a hot soak in the tub.
+ kids that are equal parts mischief and hilarity.
+ books that feed my soul.
+ hot chocolate with gooey marshmallows.
+ conversations with my man.
+ friends within walking distance.
+ washed dishes.
+ rain against the windows.
+ the sweet hallowed silence of evening.

Just to name a few...
..oh, and a sweet baby GIRL kicking gently from my belly! 

Hope the week is being sweet to you friends,
Mel ;o)

  6. Hehe... she said quite a while ago that she indeed did want a lil' sister... and that if we were to have a boy "we would all CRY" according to her! Not sure how we'll do with another drama queen... but we'll enjoy another gal here. ;o)

  9. Yay! In my experience, girls are much better sleepers. (Of course, you pay for it when they turn two, but at least you get to sleep during the first year!)

  10. Oh that's such music to my ears Jo.. lol! I'm convinced this BOY of ours is the worst sleeper compared to Azi.. was hoping for another babe that actually sleeps again... it will be a wild ride either way I'm sure. ;o)
