Overflowing with humility and gratitude

I am feeling extremely grateful this morning, for soo many reasons. As I sit and feed my tiny, newborn, I am so thankful that he was born with no complications and so healthy! He is eating well and growing so much already (8oz he has gained in one week). He is just my perfect little angel-so easy, so content (as long as he is clothed and fed), so cuddley and just so incredibly precious. I LOVE how he just gazes at me. Most of the time I holding him & too busy doing other things, but then I look down at him and he is just staring up at me. Probably wondering why I am yelling at the other kids :) It is amazing the bond I already feel with him. Nalu is soo much apart of our family, after just 2 short weeks, and I love him more than I ever thought was possible. Even after 3 other children, the love just never ends. For that I am grateful and appreciative to my Father in Heaven, for sending me yet another perfect soul to care for, to TRY and teach & nurture in the right ways! The tears stream down my cheeks in humility and I hope I will always remember THIS moment (and when I don't I am glad I have written it down)!!

H1N1-Part2 and more

I have been dreading the time when we would have to finish our H1N1 vaccinations for the kids, since we had such a fun LONG wait to get the first half (only to find out we had to do it again and get the other half). My neighbor told me she went up to Weber State yesterday and didn't have to wait hardly at all. They were continuing it today, so I thought we should give it a try. Quinn was going to take them, but ended up getting really busy with work stuff at home, so I left Nalu with him and took the 3 other kids (hoping and praying we wouldn't have to wait long). Well my prayers were answered! We were in and out in less than 20 minutes. So much better than our first experience!!!! So now we are all (excluding Quinn-he is not a real believer in the need to get vaccinated-just hope HE doesn't sick) completely vaccinated against the H1N1, and just have to wait another month b4 we can get the regular flu vaccination, since the kids had the mist. And all of this in hopes to keep our little Nalu from getting anything this year. Speaking of him, here are a few shots, just because... Isn't his puppy outfit too cute?!

(thanks Katie)
We are off, in a little bit, to his 2 week check-up
and his 2nd PKU testing.
Poor little guy is gonna get poked in the foot!
I ALWAYS seem to be the one who gets to take
the kids to get all the fun stuff done, shots, etc.
Why am I the lucky one???
