Can't handle private

So no longer private. I've had a few complaints from people who can't get onto the blog, so until then we will open up our lives to the world. Really I'm not worried just wanna keep the weirdos out.
So this week was wonderful. Quite quiet (well by quiet I mean not alot going on, it's never quiet here) I LOVE having my kids out of school. It is so nice to have a break from getting everyone up and out and then the whole lunch hour craziness and dance and piano. I LOVE NO SCHOOL!!! I know there are some out there who really love all the structure and what not but I think somehow I got some hippy in me. I love the chaos of not knowing what is happening everyday. I love waking up and having all my crazies around. Don't get me wrong after a full summer of it I definitely get to a point where I'm ready for them to go back but that really only lasts about a month or two. Maybe it's just the winter that kinda makes me want to hibernate. Just keep my kids with me and chill. Can you guess who little miss mischievious is in our house right now? She is a MONKEY!!! Here are some before and afters of her lips. She is not the easiest kid to take pics of right now. She just doesn't like sitting still.
She still has a little bit of a bubble but hemangiomas will go back into the body as the child ages so if they take it all out then there is the potential for it to kind of indent the lip. So we take only part of it then watch it for a few yrs and decide where to go from there. We are very grateful to the doctors and nurses, we think they did a marvelous job.

For Family day I made heart shaped pancakes and left them for the girls to find in the morn. I also wrote them all a note to let them know how much we love them. They loved it.




My mommy and daddy moved here. FINALLY!!! So nice to have them so close. I love all my siblings and sibling inlaws(on both sides) honestly I am so very very lucky to have so many people that I love and who love us. I have a couple of my sistas coming to visit this week and cannot wait. SOOOOOOOOO FUNNNNNNN!!!!!! So excited for the party weekend coming up with the Jackson clan. (Nobody tell Clare, she seems to get a cold every time we plan to have them down, so if we keep it quiet then maybe she'll avoid that) I am so excited to see her and cuddle her. Anna and Coop the cousins and I cannot wait to see you too.
Yesterday my darlin man took all four of the older girls on a daddy daughter date. They went mini golfing and then to BP's for lunch. They all had so much fun. Having Daddy at home working has blessed us in many ways (I know it can be stressful for Daddy at times though)
Very normal to see this on a daily basis. These girls LOVE their daddy. He is the one they want to get them milk, he is the one they want to stay in their rooms while they fall asleep. THEY LOVE HIM!!! It's his fault they bug him all day. He's just to darn nice. I tell him all the time "If you are as mean as me they wouldn't bug you all the time"

So here is a question for you all...
Can there really ever be a favorite child???
I say no but kinda.
Sorta wishy washy I know.
Now a little while ago I said something to the effect of "R is my fave right now" (I didn't say this to my kids, it was to one of my sisters.)
I did not mean that she will always be my fave or that the other four of my babies are not also my fave. Just right now as a tiny little person who cannot talk back or yell or hit she is my fave.
Brae asked me the other day if I love R more than her...I was so sad that she would even think that. All of my babies are so important in so many different ways and I explained this to her.
Addie has been trying to wrap her head around the fact that even if R is my baby right now she is still my baby also.
They will ALL ALWAYS be my baby. So will the youngest always be my fave, sometimes sure but all of them will be my faves sometimes. And ALWAYS they will all be my faves!!!
Anyway just a question, wanted to get some feedback.
I love my life!! What a wonderful family I have. So many friends I love so much.
We are so blessed.
Hope everyone finds all their blessings this week.
