Just thinking.....

At this time of year, I have a tendency to think a lot about where the Lord has brought us. 3 years ago today, I was pregnant with Mia, running an errand with my mom, and standing in a parking lot in Baraboo, I sneezed--and my water broke. I was only 24 weeks pregnant--at the cusp of what is considered "viable". For the next 8 days, I laid in bed, praying I would lay there for another 10 weeks--at least. But, God's timing is not ours and just 8 days later, Mia was born. I have a tendency to relive the days in my mind, from 3 years ago, starting today and really not ending until we hit the anniversary of when she came home from the hospital--New Year's Eve. The first year anniversaries were a little painful; last year, not so much, and this year, I see how very much God has walked us through. And I am so thankful. I've been trying to get Miss Mia to sit still long enough to get a few pics with her "baby" for a little perspective of how much she has grown. Hopefully, I will have those to post by her birthday. God reminds me daily of the fact that He is always with me--sometimes, He just makes it so much clearer and I praise him for that....

We recently went bowling for the first time with both girls-I think ever. We had such a nice time and the girls really loved it! Lately, when I take pictures of Mia, she's doing this gooby smile--not sure why....but who cares! Love both my girls......
