First Yoga Class

No not my first yoga class but my first pre-natal yoga class with this baby!

It was so refreshing, relaxing and limbering.....

I did yoga with Rowan but it was on my own with DVD's cause we lived in rural Michigan with no yoga class in a 30 mile radius much less a prenatal yoga class.

Then - I found out that the instructor, who teaches at the hospital, also owns Infuse Yoga Studio.  I found out I can also go on Monday and Fridays!  I am so excited!!!  Yoga is so special during pregnancy!

I am convinced this is what made my delivery with Rowan much easier - all 36 hours of it. 

Namaste!

Praise God!!!

Awwwwww

I got flowers delivered at work today......  From a group of people that I worked on a grant with.  It was a bright spot on my day..... 

I feel blessed is so many ways - the flowers add to it!

They grow so fast!

I was informed today that the Lime is now a Lemon.....

sigh......

Even inutero they grow so fast!!!

Most wonderful Evening

If you ask a dozen of my friends, a dozen of my colleagues and my family - if I was a work-a-holic they would simply tell you "most definitely!"

Sad I know......

Yesterday I did the most uncharacteristic thing for a Monday and for me.  I sped out of a meeting and met a dear friend from Michigan and her sons, friends and my family.  We had wings at Wild Goose.  Okay - I must admit my hubby was right - not the best choice for the lime and I - but it was so nice to get out on a Monday (I felt decadently evil and a huge slacker at that).  I didn't even think about work for two hours.  I had an appetite AND I had fun.  The after effects of hot wings - not so good - but all worth it!

Note to self - must do this more often.

My baby girls all grown up!

Natalie and Rowan were invited to a Bat Mitvah this weekend and that means "dressy dresses mom!"

Natalie is my budding baby who needs to slow down in growing up.  Her dad is having a hard time with her grown up appearance.  I find her quite breath taking......

Rowan - while cute and dressed up - is STILL my baby girl!




Sigh... they grow up so fast!!!!!

Welcoming Home Baby

I just received the cutest baby knit book I have seen in a while.  I got it as a gift and LOVE IT.

I received it today and could not wait to get yarn to start knitting one of the projects.  Rowan and I rushed out to SASI and purchased some scrumptious Twinkle.

Casted on - and the rest is history!


Rowan votes for this to be the baby's crib blanket....


We haven't told her about the "co-sleeping" part yet....

How Patient is your Heart?

I can tell you that I am not very patient...  many things annoy me but slow people really annoy me.  I just got through telling my daughter today - people who walk through life like they have all the time in the world really annoy me.  This is where I tell you that I confessed this to her AFTER the message today. 

More importantly - where is my heart on patience?  I would like to think that I am patient, five years of patience (lol)....  but I wonder if I could have handled the last more year with more praise and grace than the heart ache I felt and expressed.

I need to work on my patience.  I need to realize that my life is on God's time table not on mine.  I need to realize that God has a master plan for my life and my family's life.  I am such a control freak this is gonna take alot of prayer...  alot of prayer....  Praise God for his Mercy and his Grace. 


James 5:7-11 ESV
Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
