The Good Stuff ~ Annalea ~ 3/11/2021

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

This was a fairly good week with lots of good stuff happening.  However, by far the BEST thing that happened was:

Baby Annalea Marie decided to make an appearance a whole month early!

For those that don't know, Dex, Damon and now Annalea's mommy is my first cousin Steph.  She is like a little sister to me.  I was 10 years old when Steph was born and she has always had a special place in my heart as do her boys.  Now, LITTLE Annalea has captured my heart as well.

Annalea was born Saturday, March 6, 2021 in the early morning.  She only weighed 5 lb 10 oz at birth and measured 17 inches long.  She is a TINY LITTLE one.

Welcome to the family Annalea!  We love you so much already :)

What are you thankful for/smiling/exited about this week?  Tell me all the good stuff!

The Good Stuff ~ 3/4/2021

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

~A Baby Shower!  Steph is getting ready to pop!  She has less than 5 weeks until baby girl Annalea Marie makes her appearance.  After Church on Sunday, we had a Baby Shower to show Steph how much she is loved and appreciated.  It is hard work building a baby and she deserved to be showered with love!  It was lots of fun and CAKE!  There was CAKE!  :)

~March!  I am ever so glad that February is over and we have moved on to the month of March!  I'll be even more excited next Saturday when we Spring Forward!

~New Author!  Ivy Hart is a fun new-to-me author I discovered this week.  You can read about her first book of the Jardin Sisters HERE .  Isn't this cover gorgeous?

~Good Doctor's Appointment!  Yesterday I had my annual check-up with my family doctor.  Everything has been on an even keel medicine-wise for me (knock on wood!) so nothing major to talk about.  I go next week for routine blood work and yearly mammogram.  Gotta take care of myself :)

Thankful Thursday ~ 1/21/2021

 

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

~Skipbo!  After our Friday night Bible Study, we stayed a little longer at my Aunt Donna and Uncle Charlie's and played Skipbo.  It was the first time they played so it was fun teaching them a new game :)

~Steph's Birthday and a Name!  Saturday was my cousin's (more like a sister) birthday!  Her third baby is due April 5th and she's having a girl!  The baby's name is going to be Annalea (Steph's middle name is Lea pronounced Lee).  Steph and her hubby are still trying to decide whether to pronounce Annalea as 1.  An-uh-lee or 2.  An-uh-lee-uh  .  She's polling everyone on what they like.  So which way would you say Annalea?  BTW, the middle name is going to most likely be Marie after the baby's grandmother.

~Family Room Rearrangement!  We once again rearranged the Family Room.  My desk area wasn't touched so I'm happy with how it turned out.  It is always a little strange getting used to a new arrangement.  Do you like to rearrange your furniture or do you like to keep the same arrangement you always had?

~New Followers!  I've recently acquired some new blog followers and I love the feeling that someone is actually reading what I write :)

~Three Things on Thursday!  I resurrected an old feature here on the blog called "Three on Thursday".  The idea is to list three things that have something in common such as "Three Reasons I Love My Hubby" or "Three of My Favorite Books".  I'll still be posting my Thankful Thursday but I'd love for you to also join in with a "Three on Thursday" of your own!  You can read today's post HERE!
