Thoughts from my Thursday

We talk about death a lot lately. It's starting to unnerve me actually. The reason it's on the brain in our house is because we recently switched life-insurance companies. The new policies start tomorrow and we cancelled the old ones today to avoid paying the premium for this month. So technically we are not covered today. So if Josh dies today, Anna, Noah, and I are really up a creek. On another death note, Josh has started drafting a to-do list for me to rely on should he ever up and die on me. He says item number one is this: Bury Me. That man is leaving no stone unturned. :)

Anna will push a cup around in her stroller. And the cup has toy money it in. Just now she loaded her stroller with two toy phones.

Speaking of Anna, I looked at little girl Spring clothes and I just about cried at how cute it all is. I remember posting about sweetie pie clothes around this time last year. I CANNOT wait to put little skirts and dresses on Anna this year now that she is walking. And on that note, I CANNOT believe what a sap I have turned in to over little girl's clothes.

I don't much care for olives. In fact, I have never eaten them. But I will eat me some Olive Garden now. Mmm, mmm. Josh and I went there for an early Valentines lunch today. Duh-lish!

Oh. My. Gosh!! They are calling for more snow within the week. Groan, moan, and whine.

We had our last visit with our case worker and it went quickly and smoothly. Now we just wait on word that we are officially approved.

Noah has switched to quiet time instead of nap time every day. I CANNOT believe he is old enough for not napping. Wow.

We made Valentines today for Noah's and Anna's parties next week, and they are too sweet and so cute. And so simple. Just card stock, stamps, and a heart or two.

I thought from your first paragraph you were going to make me cry talking about more death. I don't think I have any tears left in me...I've been praying all day, nearly literally. Something like that has never happened so close to me...a friend. SIDS... ugh.
ON a lighter note. Brooklyn still takes naps, and needs them desperately when that time of day rolls around. I'm thankful for that :)

We've given up on the naps as well, though I pushed them out as far as I could.

And death. We've been thinking about it a lot lately too. We have to redo our will to include Samuel, I need life insurance and PJ needs to redo his - and we both have to make a living will. It's one of those things that I know has to get done, but parts are confusing and hard to think about...

Well, Brittany - count yourself a BIG step ahead of most parents by getting a will done at all. ;)

We finished ours last year (with an attorney, this time, instead of Quicken WillMaker) and thankfully it is set up to include any and all of the rest of the kids we adopt so we don't have to worry about updating or redoing it for that reason alone.

Keep at it - it feels good to have gone and behind you. ;)
