Looking back 4 years...

Four years ago today I (we) were preparing to bring our 1st daughter into this crazy world.  I was so NOT wanting to mother a daughter. I knew what she would be up against in this world and also knew that I was great being a mom to my boys, but on the drama that I knew went along with raising girls..sigh....I actually cried on the sono table when they told us at 20 weeks we were having a girl....the tech said "oh you are so happy"...I said "No actually I would like you to recheck that she is a she, please..."  lol

I am only being honest here...of course I am so happy now that we have two girls, Molly and Samantha...but all my fears are coming true...the drama...oh the drama...

Tomorrow is Molly's 4th birthday...4 seems like such a milestone for some reason.  I wanted to share some pictures with you over the last 4 years...she walked early (9 months), she spoke early (sing the ABC's clearly at 22 months - see this UTUBE Video of her singing.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skUcMD-OwUQ) and she does everything (or wants to) that her big brother does...



WOW Looking at this picture of Easter years ago...her younger sister, Samie is her twin!

Hi Melissa,
As the mother of 4 girls, please know that you (we) are truly blessed! Girls can be difficult, trust me, the teen years are NOT easy!
In the long run, I wouldn't want it any other way! Girls are a gift!
Happy Birthday!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
