- how finley lays on my hand while i type.
- finley saying "thank you" for everything...even if it is just when i give her a kiss.
- harper telling the story of how she fell down in the school cafeteria in front of all the third graders...there was a hint of embarrassment but that girl has confidence made of stone...and i love it.
- harper telling me that her fall was completely forgotten the next day because someone put a bib i had left in the cafeteria in her cubby so all of her classmates kept asking her, "why do you have a bib in your cubby". then she added in her most sarcastic tone, "so, thanks mom."
- glimpses of oliver jack gaining some sense. they have been few and short lived but we have seen moments that he is learning that "listening to his head" is not the way to go.
- oliver jack's quick wit.
- calvary's appropriate response to our discussion of some negative behavior. he listened, he admitted fault, and he apologized...maybe not ground breaking for most, but for me it is.
- seeing how much happier calvary has been since we have started to understand him more.
- finley's enormous cheeks...especially considering her impossibly small stature.
- having the opportunity to help my mom out some...even if it was just visiting.
- kyle's dad accepting the challenge of watching finley and oliver jack so that i could go to an appointment...it's not the first time he's done this but i am loving that he's not intimidated by the idea of watching his grandkids on his own.
- i am not 30 yet.
- i finally weigh less than my friend christy...even though she is 8 weeks out from delivering her 4th child i will count this as a victory.
- finley's laugh.
- how finley calls for harper when i don't do something she wants me to do; she knows who is the weak link.
- how smitten calvary is with finley...she still can do no wrong for him.
- school is almost out!
- saving money.
- the love of a Popsicle.
- eating dinner with my family.
on a side note, something i am not loving about this week:
- the realization of just how much finley has grown up....she's not a baby anymore...she's a little girl. blah.

you know. i *thought* christy was pregnant, but then i wasn't sure. and i definitely didn't want to say anything and be horribly wrong. congratulations christy! sorry i speak my sentiments a few weeks ago.
So does your friend Christy weigh 95 lbs normally? Because I cant imagine you having a hard time weighing less or close to someone since you are so skinny after 4 kids! yes be glad you are done before 30 :) oh and 30 is right around the corner!!!
