One, Two, THREE!

Good things that come in threes~

1. Fun Dip- My favorite childhood sugary treat that comes with THREE yummy flavors of cherry, grape and Apple/raspberry.

2. A good book has THREE parts, the beginning, the middle and the end!

3. An "eternity ring" has THREE diamonds representing the past, present and future!

4. The THREE stooges!

5. The THREE wise men.

6. The THREE Olympic medals~ Gold, Silver and Bronze.

7. A genie gives you THREE wishes in a fairy tale.

8. The THREE little pigs taught us a lesson.

9. The sun, the moon and the stars.

10. The Holy Trinity~ The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The number THREE has been consuming me, lately. Can you guess why? For some, you know the reason! Maddie, Ally and the sweet little baby "on the way" makes THREE! I am now 11 weeks and already counting down to the end of January. I am excited and nervous and in disbelief. We are really doing this again! My biggest worry???...how will I fit all the car seats/boosters in my car?!?!? These little things along with my "evening" sickness keep me up at night and keep my mind busy.

And the girls...Maddie and Ally have become so EASY...when did this happen? They fight just a little, Ally is basically out of her tantrum stage as it only rears its ugly head every once in a while, they go to bed WITHOUT getting back out- YEA!, they say yes ma'am and yes sir with only a little reminder at times, and they love helping Mommy clean!....sometimes! (Hey, I will take what I can get!) As with any child, they love to test and whine but they really have become these awesome little people! They are excited about the new baby; Ally wants a girl and Maddie wants a boy. They pray for the baby and for mommy's tummy to feel better every night and I always find it sweet when one of them forgets b/c it seems the other one always remembers the baby in their prayers.

My heart is full and my emotions are on overdrive.(There is so much to do!) This is an amazing time in our life. Diapers and all nighters are in our future and it IS scary b/c our life is so calm right now but it is also wonderful b/c we will see another life develop into something amazing. Thank the Lord for the good things that come in THREES!
