Tonight was the best night. Mia was curled up in my arms, Maegan curled up beside me with her head in my lap. Charlie Brown was on the TV. Matthew was decorating the Christmas Tree and Wils was offering him his help. It was such a cozy night. Me and my girls watching the boys and enjoying a Christmas movie. Not much could be better than that. I love my little family... it's not so little anymore. I am so blessed.

My precious little children were so good for me this afternoon. I am still under restriction, no driving, no picking up anything over 10 lbs., etc. Matt had to go to work. Wils, Maegan, Mia and I were home alone. Wils and Maegan were angels. They played and played, danced and kept covering a sleeping Mia with kisses. Wils finally looked at me, at one point, after I picked up Mia, and he asked "Pwee" (please), meaning, can I get up on the sofa with you... Of course, I couldn't lift him, so MAEGAN helped boost his hiney up so that he could climb up on the sofa... and then she, too climbed up on the sofa. I had Mia in my left arm, Wils climbed up onto my lap and Maegan snuggled up as close to me as possible... and then I heard footsteps and the key turning in the lock. Matthew walked in to the living room to see me with all three children in my lap. I looked at him, smiled and said, "WOW, you came just in time!" With that Maegan and Wils began shrieking "DADDDDDDDDDDDY" and they were out of my lap in seconds flat. I'm one happy momma! NOW, if I can just stop feeling the pain from the surgery. I'm ready to be back to normal, to be socializing with all the Christmas parties and functions. I know it will come soon enough. But, for now, I'm enjoying all of this down time with my three bambinos!
