Random Thoughts From An Overtired Mama

Here are just a couple of my random thoughts before I hit the sack after one crazy-beautiful, almost-perfect and all around fantastic day....

*This morning we dedicated our babies at our home church. It was quite fun to see both of our families in our church on a Sunday morning. (Lila + Lincoln were super-adorable and on their best behavior.) What a full-circle moment to be standing in front of the church, holding our 2 precious babies, and saying a prayer over their lives. It doesn't seem that far ago that we were standing in that same church praying for a baby (or SURPRISE! 2 babies,) to become a part of our lives. After that we were praying for a healthy pregnancy, a full-term pregnancy, and for 2 healthy babies. Wow. Wow. Yep, that deserves another WOW. (Lila says 'wow' by the way. Sooooo cute.)

*We have amazing, amazing friends AND super-wonderful families. I mean, can you imagine ME, this football-loving girl scheduling a 1st birthday party on Superbowl Sunday....during the Superbowl?!? Yah, my life is so crazy I didn't even realize the oversight. But did that stop the people who care about us and the L's from coming? Nope. I kept thinking how blessed we are to have these people in our lives. And now, how blessed Lila + Lincoln are to have these people in their lives. So some are a little crazy. Ok pretty much everyone we know and like are a little crazy, but that is how we prefer it and we wouldn't dream of it being any other way. So thank you old friends, new friends & family--our hearts are full. (And our pocketbooks are not hurting either since we won 75% of the money in the bets on the game. There should be a rule against hosts winning bets next time. NEXT TIME!)

I have pics of their birthday and party I will post soon. But this girl is tired so it will have to wait. So in the words of one of my beautiful nieces Lucca, 'Peeece'!
