Finished
We are finished having kids. Steve was happy with two. I was not done. After many long talks, we both agreed we would have another child. Now I had always thought about maybe having four or more kids, but knew I had to have at least three. Even when Steve and I agree to try for number three and that he/she would be our last, I was worried I would not be happy with that.
Well over the past two weeks I have come to to conclusion on my own that *I* am done. I love my three girls and don't want to change how we are. Our family of 5 is perfect. I am also ready to move on. Get out of the baby phases and into the playing phases. I want to take the girls to Disney World. I want to take the girls to get pedicures. I am just ready for the next phases in our lives.
I am also ready to focus a little more on my marriage. Having a baby in the house can take away from that. Now that we have some routines down and better sleep habits, I am ready to spend more time with my husband.
I am finished. Done. . . Happy.
Today we went to our nieces 7th birthday party. It was nice. I enjoy seeing Steve's family. And my SIL's husband's family was there and I really like them. So that was nice. Leslie fell in love with Sevi. Leslie is a 30+ something woman who is now calling Sevi her BFF. It was so cute. And I got to talk to Laura some which was nice. And we finally got to meet baby Sam. (Finally? Geez, the poor boy is only 3 months old). He is so so cute. And so long. Apparently they grow them long in that family. I got to hold him a little. He was just precious. It was nice to hold a baby again, but it didn't make me want another one. I really enjoy the Crows. Karsen, our niece, seemed to enjoy herself. Happy Birthday Sweetie. We love you!
Keira got another tooth. So that makes #7. And #8 isn't far behind. Poor thing. She went from having 2 teeth for 3 months to getting 6 new ones in a months time. We have her Baltic Amber Teething Necklace on her, but we are also trying out the Indian version. The Tlismi Moti necklace. I honestly have seen a change in the two days she has worn it. But that could also be because that one tooth finally broke through. And she is crawling all over the place. Steve is pretty proud of her form considering our other two did more of an army crawl then an actual crawl on knees and hands.
Beautiful day today!

Compliment Jar
Julia - Thank you for working so hard on cleaning today. It is a huge help to us when you clean up.
Sevina - I love you love of life. I love how you start dancing every time music comes on. I love how everyone falls in love with you when they spend some time with you.
Keira - You are such a trooper. Today you got passed around from "stranger" to "stranger" and you just went with the flow. And from what I could tell, since I didn't see you much while we were there, you were in pretty good spirits.
