We went out for lunch today after visiting the animals at the park. Poor Peanut was so exhausted that she fell asleep in the car on the way to Wendy's. So we're in the parking lot at Wendy's and I glance back to see her eyes flutter open as she dazedly mumbles "Fries?" Seriously, I didn't think we got Wendy's that often.
And if you didn't think it got any cuter than that, you'd be wrong. I was ordering our lunch when Peanut stands up on her and bellows at the top of her lungs "Toot! Mommy!! I toot! Mommy!! I TOOT!" Yes, Peanut, you did. Good job kiddo. : )

Big words for a small cookie
Peanut is starting the move towards using sentences. Yesterday she stood mournfully at the window and said "Daddy home me *sigh* soon". Yep, he was late coming home from work, and she missed him.
Then after her bath she scampered downstairs and found me eating ice cream. I shared a bit with her and she joyfully exclaimed "Ice cream me YUM".
Call Harvard - the kid's a genius!

A pretty good year
We're in 2008 and it seems like 2007 flew by. It's nice to sit back and reflect on all the blessings of the past year. A huge highlight for me was becoming a stay at home mom. We had prayed for this from the time Peanut was born, because there was no way we could swing it on just hubby's income. God once again blew our minds with His greatness... Gregg got a huge raise JUST as I had to start back to work. Wow! The specific amount and timing really drove it home - this was God reassuring us that we would be cared for and that staying home was the right thing.
Another big highlight of the year was becoming pregnant with our second girl. There are so many people who experience infertility and my heart breaks for them. We are so excited to be able to have another.
It was wonderful to wrap up the year with a trip to my grandparents. Peanut was a little trooper, spending all that time in the car and meeting many new people. We got to see my grandparents' new house, my cousin Marc's girlfriend (is a wedding in the air?) and my cousin Jay whom I had missed seeing for years.
We did miss Erin and Kirk alot, but are pleased and proud that they have awesome jobs in their new location.
Now it's just time to sit, scrapbook the Christmas memories and wait for Buttercup to arrive. Patience is a virtue... a virtue I don't have. Hurry up kiddo!
