Just a little humor!

As always, Tim was out of the door before 7am this morning. That usually gives me about an hour before my queen wakes up. Like clockwork, she started whining around 8am. She started asking for milk and so I got up to go see to her needs.
After she got her milk, I brought her into my bed so that I could catch a little more sleep. But she wouldn't let me. After her milk was gone, she handed me her bottle and decided to get off of my bed and do whatever it is that she does( I had turned the TV on to PBS kids when I went to get her milk). I leaped for joy. I could finally get some more sleep.

About 15 minutes later, I heard a small voice call, "honey". I was enjoying my sleep and didn't want to even open my eyes to find out what was going on. The call came again, "honey!" I finally responded. "Yes!" And opened my eyes. There she was standing by daddy's side of the bed. Our bed is on the tall side so she can't get up by herself. She said, "mum, I need diaper change". What! Are you kidding me? You woke me up because you want a diaper change? She said again. "I need diaper change". So I asked " do you need a diaper change?" She said, "yes".
What else could I do but laugh. So she led the way to her room and her diaper got changed.
I think today is going to be a great day!

Thanksgiving Heart!

As thanksgiving fast approaches, my heart is just filled with so much gratitude. I must say that,I'm thankful to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and as a foundation for my family. Our life is not perfect, but I know that it is the principles of this gospel that guides our paths each day

It is this gospel that has giving me a man that honors his priesthood and strives each day, to be a better person for his family. The only time he wants for himself is to be able to do yard work or make phone calls to make sure that the families he is entrusted with are doing well or to go to choir practice or home teaching. That is all he ask. That he can fulfill his priesthood duties and family responsibilities. And the rest is ours.
I really appreciate his patience and dedication to his family. He is a great blessing to us. We will try to nag him a little less.

I'm grateful for a wonderful daughter who brings me so much joy. She came into my room today and said " hi baby" and kissed my tummy. After that, she said " I love you baby" . I don't think it can get any more precious than that. She has grown so much and helps me with the little things that just blows my mind. We love her dearly and are grateful that she chose us as parents. So that she can teach us how to love and cherish the moments that we share together.

I'm grateful for a wonderful mother-in-law. Rosie, I want you to know that, we love and appreciate everything you do for us. You are a great grandma and an amazing mother to us. We might not say it often, but you are a great woman.
We are grateful to have wonderful family that gives us support in whatever shape and form it comes. We love you and feel your prayers.

This year has been good to us so far. We've been able to visit family in Ghana and also shared the news of a new addition to the family pretty soon. My prayer is that, the Lord take us through the remainder of the year and grant us another that we may continue to enjoy the relationships that we have and will have.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Our little peace of Heaven!

I've been wanting to write down my thoughts about the day to day with Kiralie and all the little things that she does to brighten my day. I just had to do this tonight because she reminded me while getting her ready fir bed that, parenthood is the best thing that has happened to me.

I think of all the accomplishments that I could get in my life and none will make me feel the way this little angel makes me feel. She makes me feel so loved and appreciated. I really marvel how I could be so lucky to get such an angel?

She makes sure she kisses me on the lip every night after we say the prayer. Even when I refuse the lip kiss because of my strep, she wouldn't kiss my cheek but my lip. And she says "thank you" these last couple of weeks, after she is tucked in and I'm about to leave. Just hearing her say that tonight made me cry. It might be pregnancy hormones but I think she is just too special and I don't feel worthy of her.

She went upstairs by herself yesterday at noon when I told her it was nap time. And she wanted to climb into her crib all by herself. As if she knew that I wasn't feeling good at all.
There are days where she will tell me "come here mommy" with her arms open to give me a hug. As if she knows that I'm frustrated or my day isn't going well.

I must say that, I am blessed to be the the mother of this amazingly wonderful and beautiful child. Who loves me unconditionally and lets me know everyday how lucky I am to have the family that I have. I'm indeed in love with that little bugger!
