Things I love about being a family of four now ............................

Last night after we ate dinner, there wasn't anything left and we were all full but were asking if there was anything left. I can remember when there were always leftovers ............ I love empty pans and happy chubby faces with rosy cheeks.

I can remember my Grandma (mom's mom) always loved to cook for us when we came to visit and she would make an obscene amount of food and feed us until we could hardly move. I also remember wondering what in the world made her so happy about us all "pigging out" until we were miserable .......... Well last night I think I finally Got it ! She was alot wiser than I gave her credit for :-)

I love looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the two girls laughing and giggling knowing that they will always be each others "Best Friend".

I love that I am never caught up on the laundry and that I have become an expert in organic stain removal ;-)

I love it when I'm rocking Rachel in the glider chair in her nursery and Audrey comes in hugs her sister tight, says "I love you", and tells Rachel that she will be in the next room if she needs her.

I love it when we all load up in the Van to go to visit family and stop at Mcdonalds half way, Exit 70 Nashville. Our Mcdonalds visit is usually fast, furious and a lesson in surviving toddler eating habits but it sure makes for great memories lol.

I love that Audrey's Clothes can now become hand-me downs.

I love that I can't remember the last time I was ever bored or wondered what my purpose in life was !

There are many more things I am loving about being a family of four now, but I'm too pooped to think of them now.
