I'm the Lucky One...

Busy ladies... working a "baby" word search

He was elated to find some "treats" that mommy doesn't keep around! YUM

From Logan... super Fun!

Ask him to show you his teeth, this is what you get!!!

With Baby Dos' arrival fast approaching (I'm about four weeks away from delivery now) the coaches wives wanted to have a baby shower and Auntie Julie was kind enough to host it. It was a wonderful afternoon, low key lunch with and enjoyable visit with the ladies- just what a celebration should be. One of the most special things about the afternoon was an idea Julie had for "blessing beads" for Dylan- all of the ladies wrote a blessing on a small sheet of paper and then strung a bead on a leather rope to represent it. As I read through the inspiring and special words later that evening, they each touched me, but the one that stuck out and was repeated, was how lucky HE was. I remember the same words being written in Hayden's cards at his shower, and as I read them again I couldn't help but think... I'm the Lucky One!!! I'm the first to admit as to how I come across to most people- it's been  a fault of mine my entire life, one that I continue to work on, but at the end of the day, I honestly feel like one of the luckiest people in the world! Our life is far from perfect, but with a loving and supportive husband who is literally living out his childhood dream by coaching in the NFL (literal childhood dream, most people don't realize that, but he he is), an adorable, healthy son who makes me smile at every turn of our days, a beautiful dog who can still keep up with me on our too-long of runs at eight months pregnant (oh were a sight, dog, jogger, my belly- we've turned some heads) and a healthy baby boy on his way ... I truly feel that I'm the lucky one!
