First, let me share a sweet surprise I found on Facebook last night. I met Kenneth Alan O'Shaughnessy through my dear friend Christine. He wrote a poem in honor of
How Did You Become a Child of Mine
Kenneth Alan O'Shaughnessy
How did you become a child of mine?
You weren't dropped by a stork from the sky
You were not grown in a cabbage patch
Nor baked in the oven like a pie
How did you become a child of mine?
Not how baby Eskimos come
With noses rubbed in a frozen cold kiss
Til li’l boogers fall out in the sun
How did you become a child of mine?
Were you sent from Heaven by God?
Did Mommy and Daddy try really hard?
Do we tell with a wink and a nod?
How did you become a child of mine?
It was with travail and pain
Although you didn't grow inside of me
Except in my heart and my brain
How did you become a child of mine?
I waited until you were here
Then chose you alone to become my own
Because you were already dear
How did you become a child of mine?
I waited and prayed night and day
You are the answer to all of my prayers
And I love you in every way
Continuing the Sunday of Awesome...A brought
And the day doesn't stop there! Last Wednesday, we went to community group and they totally surprised us with a party!

Tara made us a GIANT cake. Seriously, it was four full sized layers AND the chocolate layers had chocolate chips!

Elyse brought us some baby things...that outfit is toooo cute. Dede couldn't make it Wednesday (boo work!) but she stopped at the dojo and delivered an envelope--gift certificates for a babymoon!

We absolutely could not believe it but got in gear to take advantage of it! Autumn didn't have school today and Mike didn't have to work so she happily hopped over to Mike's parents' house and we went out! We got to go to Carrabba's for dinner and we had massages at a place offering a new location discount. Then we went out to see a friend's band. If you get a chance to see Monday Night Card, definitely take it! Afterward, we watched the BBC Sherlock (Mike hadn't seen the finale of season 2) and then, best of all, TOTALLY SLEPT IN. Seriously, I slept until about 8am. I cannot remember the last time I did that!

So, there you go. Best Sunday in a very long time and all because of wonderful friends and enthusiastic family!
