a good week

I have a feeling this week is going to be good....
a job for Seth? a closing date on the house? happy children? winning sports teams??? all of my favorite shows back on???....or maybe every just everyone getting along and nothing horrible happening..... we'll see.......

Today is Hope's 8th Birthday!!!! I can hardly believe she is so big....we are having family over tonight...but the friend party is on Friday...where we will be crafting and playing American Idol and eating yummy food, of course. I will post pics of our creations! It should be fun!
Hope has been such a blessing in our lives....those that know her...know I am just not being one of those annoying parents that blogs like their kid never makes mistakes..and is so much better than your kid. She is the first one to admit she is no better than anyone. She is special. She is a gift. I wonder what she will do in her life, other than loving so unconditionally, because I know she has a great purpose to fulfill. She never whines....she never asks for things at the store, she never complains. I could go on, really...but you get the idea. Being her mother is an honor and a privilege...one I strive to be worthy of...and not mess up.
I love this girl with all my heart.
October 17th she will be baptized!!!!! I will talk more about that later!

Here's hoping we all have a good week!!!
