This and That...

Outside my window:
Snow covered yard and roads, a few snowflakes falling, and really cold temperatures!

I am listening to:
Coleman's "Sleepy Songs" playlist and Coleman making his moaning noises as Justin bounces/rocks him to sleep.

I am thinking:
That I need to fold the laundry tonight and about having some Superman Ice Cream (YUM!)

I am thankful:
For wonderful friends who took care of Coleman yesterday afternoon so Justin and I could go out! =)

From the kitchen:
A fully loaded dishwasher waiting to be run after we go to bed (it's seriously noisy) and it looks fairly clean!

I am wearing:
Comfy GAP sweats, comfy t-shirt, comfy sweatshirt, glasses...yep, that's what I wore all day - LOVE being a stay at home mommy...you can dress comfy when you don't have to be anywhere that day! And we stayed inside because it was COLD!

I am hoping:
That Coleman sleeps as well as he did last night. He slept from 8-4, ate, then back to sleep 'til 7:30 =) WOO-HOO!

I am creating:
Hmm... a list of things to do in my head

I am praying:
That God will give Justin and I strength as we continue on our 21 day fast of pop(Justin) and chocolate(me), that we would continue to be a healthy family this winter season, and that we would continue to grow in our faith this year as we have begun some new challenges laid out by our church.

Around the house:
For the first time I think it looks pretty clean (but don't go in the guest room/office), Justin finished some AWESOME shelves in the basement and it looks much bigger now! Now if only I can find a home for all this baby gear we have to keep our little man entertained.

I am reading:
Miracles - devotion book by Karen Kingsbury
Bible - we are working on a challenge by our church to read through the bible in a year
Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child - LOVE this book!
Super Baby Food - great read too!

I am watching:
In about 15 min. I'll be watching the Bachelor

One of my favorite things:
Seeing my little Coleman smile and giggle and watching his daddy play with him

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Visit to Holland Wed.-Thursday to see a wonderful friend who is about to have a baby in Feb. as well as for Coleman to meet his Great Grandpa for the first time! Having a wonderful visitor to the house on Wed. morning, a night out with some lovely mama's to paint pottery while Justin so graciously offered to watch Coleman so I could have some "mommy time off".
