I realize this may be disgusting, but I have been cracking up over the last two days because the twins have had the funniest, loudest gas!!!! It makes me laugh because these sweet little girls have been pooting up big time every time they sit down to eat, they just let loose. Also sweet little Annika has been burping more than ever. I wonder what's going on?

I just wanted to say that my friends Jeni and DB just had the most gorgeous baby girl. EB is so cute and so sweet I just want to hug her and love her and squeeze her tight!!

On other topics, today it is a grey day indeed. I really like grey days, because everything looks different. I like rainy days and somewhat snowy days because the trees are beautiful and rainy days in the spring are the best because everything is so green. I think it is so cool that God gives us both rainy days and sunny days, warm days and cold days. If all we had were warm, sunny days, how would we appreciate them. Would they be special? Plus, in my opinion (and really on this page I guess that is all that counts), there is nothing better that a cold snowy day when your cheeks and nose get all red and you get to wear hats, scarves, gloves and coats. Obviously I am not meant to live in a subtropical climate!!

Anyways, I got my car back from the body shop Friday. It was so nice to see Gracie I almost shed tears. I love my car!!!! But I have had to remind myself that it is just a car. But it's still pretty. After I picked it up Friday I went back to work, but as I walked out the door from work, I started jumping up and down, b/c I was so happy to have it back. I understand that my car is a gift from God, and I am learning that I cannt take that for granted.

So the last few weeks have been a blast! About two weeks ago I was driving down a dark road and a deer jumped out and tried to commit suicide on my car. After freaking out ( saying some not very nice words), I called my mom and began to cry. She informed me I needed to call the police, and my insurance company, which I did. I took my car in the body shop and about four days later had my sweet Gracie back again. (Yes I do name my cars!) This was a Friday. On my way to work the next Monday, I was yielding for an oncoming car and the driver behind did not see me and....wait for it....rear-ended me!!!
Now While I have realized how spoiled I am to have such a wonderful car. I have also been reminded about how gracious God is. After my first wreck, friends helped me out in so many ways by coming to calm me down to helping me do research on the right body shop to use. The second wreck just allowed me to see how friends were willing to laugh with me simply to keep me from crying. All this to say it is easy for me to get caught up in what I own, but what I need to remember is that God desires for me to remember how much He has blessed me and for me to glorify him no matter the circumstances.
