In the words of someone wiser.

Thanks you, GBS. I think you are spot on.

ready or not, she's not here yet!

I woke up this morning to an empty bassinet and very big belly--
 
which means, our little girl is officially late. I really can't blame her though.  I'm kind of late for a lot of things, myself! I guess I'll go tidy the nursery one more time...

 

My dear friend Shirley made our little girl one of her famous "Joy" banners. Isn't it sweet? She recently passed away, and I'm so glad I have something to remind me of her sweet, sassy spirit!  I can't think of a better wish for my little girl than  for her to be able to find joy in her life.  Note:This has been strategically placed above the changing table...so that even when I'm changing diapers all day, I can be reminded of the reasons why it's a JOY to be a mother, too.
