Snowflakes are little miracles

what is it about a snowflake that makes us stop and admire with wonder and awe?

One morning as emma and i looked outside we were amazed with the beauty before us. everything the eye could see was covered with snow. . . .but as we looked closer we realized it wasn't plain old snow, everything was covered in SNOWFLAKES. all the trees branches, roof tops, fences and benches, even the antenna of our van was lined with these beautiful little masterpieces.

snowflake fact
*no two snowflakes are alike

*yet each is magnificently symmetrical and intricate

*snowflakes are a form of water ice formed around a spec of dust

whenever you see snowflakes you are seeing millions of little miracles, at least that is how emma and i felt this magical morning in Feburary.

we caught them on our tongues

they got caught in emma's hair and on her eye lashes

just look at that winter wonderland
how perfect that she has snowflakes on her coat too!

magnificent isn't it?

my sweet girl
we gathered up some of the fluffly white stuff and made homemade snow cones with strawberry syrup. i was a delicious treat and a perfect way to end a magical morning together.

this moment of motherhood was heaven sent
i love my you my sweet emma

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
