So my gratitude list for the past week:
1. Grateful we had a couple more meals delivered to us by the ladies from MOPS. I'm so grateful they did this for us.
2. I'm grateful my mom and aunt arrived for a week-long visit. They've been making dinners and making extra dinners to freeze for after they leave and Joe goes back to work. That will be so nice to pull a meal out of the freezer when I'm just too frazzled to cook!
3. Lucas had his 2-wk check up (already!) and I'm grateful he's gaining weight. We struggled so much with weight gain with Kayla and it was very stressful, she wasn't even back at her birth weight by her 2-wk check up. What a difference with Lucas! He was 8lbs 6oz at his appt (7lbs 8oz at birth), so I'm relieved that he's growing.
4. We all went out yesterday (well except Joe as he stayed home to study for his promotion test on Fri) and found out K-Mart was having a big baby sale. Clothes were 40% off the sale prices so we were able to buy quite a few outfits and long-sleeve onesies for Lucas at really low prices.
5. I'm grateful for these 2 blessings God has given me:

Your children are just beautiful!
About the boy diaper thing....I think just make extra sure that the diaper fits very snug around the legs. The little thing moves around and then you have the leaks. I also found that Huggies work best for boys
I love the picture of the 3 of you...How great your family is visiting...I wish you a great week.
Your children are sooooooooooo adorable!! I am so glad Lucas is gaining weight.

Michelle, I really love your blog. I don't even remember how I found you, but I added you to my "to read" list, and I am so grateful. Your "Grains of Gratitude" posts, the photos of your beautiful children, your recipes, your cheerfulness...you and your blog have made such a big impact on my life! So often, when I'm down, your posts (especially photos of Kayla or your "Grains of Gratitude" posts) cheer me up immeasurably.
Thank you.

I enjoy your blog very much - I look forward to it every day. I have a son with brain damage, a daughter who is typical and a niece who has Down Syndrome. Needless to say, I really know each child is is a wonderful blessing and unique in their contributions to the family and the community. Your children are beautiful. I wish everyone would realize what a unique little precious piece of humanity each child is. Now that my children are grown, your blog helps me remember all the wonderful years of my little ones childhood. Thank you. For encouragement - the best is yet to come. I wish I realized how good it is to have grown children when mine were little. It seems that I worried all the time. I still worry but also thoroughly enjoy the individuals they have become. It is so worth all the years you spend to do your best to get them to adulthood.
w00t for sales, mom & sister too!!!
Beautiful pictures! Glad Lucas is doing so well.
Wonderful! Your kids are beautiful!
With Love,
Jen-William's Mom
Precious photos and memories. Can't believe it been two weeks.
Now that the rush has past I am making the rounds and saying "hello" to my fellow OWOH bloggers. What a fun place to visit. You've had a lot of excitement since I visited last.
Your photos are wonderful, and it is obvious from your list that you appreciate just how blessed you are.
Sending you wishes for more blessings, happiness and joy.
OH my goodness, your pictures of you and your beautiful, and I mean absolutely beeee-ooooo-teeee-ful family, are wonderful to see. You look GREAT, Michelle!!! I am so happy that Joe is there with you and that he is taking in the love of his whole family. *hugs*
What beautiful kids! I'm so glad that Lucas is doing well - I know what a relief that is!
Beautiful photoes - Lucas looks like he has started growing already!!
Michelle you really are lovely. With parents like you and Joe it's no wonder that Kayla & Lucas are so adorable. And I'm certain that they be as beautiful on the inside as well.
Take good care of yourself.
You look fantastic!
What a great gratitude list! The pictures are so precious!
