How Sweet It Is, To Be Loved By You

In five days my baby boy will be three. It was three years ago that I gave birth to Mark's first born son and to Emma's first sibling. It was three years ago that my doctor announced in the operating room that, "It is a big, healthy BOY!" Then they cleaned up my boy and gave them to his father while they put me back together. Soon enough they handed me my baby boy and wheeled us both back to our room. Shortly after, our baby girl came to meet her baby brother. That was three years ago...

I want to stop, and thank you baby
I just want to stop, and thank you baby
P1010234

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
P1010236

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
P1010237

Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
P1010239

But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
P1010241

I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
P1010243

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you.

I thank God and honestly this song reminds me of Him. How sweet it is to be loved by God. He is the one for which all of this was possible. He is the one who gave me first Mark, then Emmaline and then Davis. He is the one and only. How sweet it is.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Indeed, how sweet it is.

Thanks. I can not believe how little my Emma looks. You expect it from a newborn to a three year old. It shocks you to see the four year old to almost seven, how different she is.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...
