Hannah and Grace say the funniest things and I am going to make a concerted effort to start posting what they say before I forget! Here are some of their most recent comments...
A few weeks ago we took the girls to eat and play at Gatti Town. As we were leaving, Hannah pointed to the building across the street, on top of a big hill, and asked "is that Heaven?" "No honey, it's a Rooms to Go store." The front of the store has all glass windows, so she saw the reflection of the sky and since she thinks Heaven is in the sky, that's what it was to her.
The girls hate going to bed at night and try everything to stay up just a little bit longer. Every night I lay with each of them, for a couple of minutes, to scratch their backs and sing a song (the SAME two songs since last Christmas - Frosty the Snowman and Jesus Loves Me). I was laying with Grace and told Hannah she needed to close her eyes and go to sleep. She told me that she couldn't go to bed and when I asked why, she said "because I need to read the bible." What was I supposed to say to that?! I let her lay in bed and "read" her bible story book quietly.
Grace always tells me that she loves me, spontaneously, throughout the day. A few days ago she said "I love you and you are a good mommy." It made me smile, but a few minutes later when I wouldn't let her eat ice cream for lunch, she said "I don't love you anymore." Sniff....sniff...
We were having a conversation about Heaven and out of the blue, Hannah said, "I can't wait to see what color God's hair is." Um, where did that come from?
I was giving Will a bath and Grace asked to help. While she was washing his little feet, she asked "why do boys have peanuts?" I simply replied, "that's how God made boys." Luckily, no more questions arose. I don't think I'm ready for "the talk" yet.
My c-section was originally scheduled for May 6th, but due to a "kidney stone", that date was pushed up. My doctors never actually saw a stone, but because of the blockage on my right side and the incredible pain (seriously - it was HORRIBLE) I was having, they dubbed it as a stone. Looking back, I think it was a "God thing."
When Will was born, the operating room got really quite for a few seconds and I heard the Anesthesiologist tell Brad to look over the curtain. Dr. Metherell held up the umbilical cord and showed Brad the knot; he said it was a miracle that Will was born when he was and that if the knot would have pulled just a bit more, the outcome would have been much different. Of course I didn't realize the significance of this until much later (I was pretty doped up) but when I think about it, I get chills. I never did pass a kidney stone and all of the kidney pain went away after Will was born. God was definitely controlling this situation!
William "Will" Francis Schwebach was born on April 30, 2010 and weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and was 19 inches long. Whoever said that your heart grows with each child was SO right; it's amazing how much love I feel for each of my children.
So I took a "break" from blogging and now that our home computer is up and running again, I'm going to get back at it! A lot has happened since last Summer, so here we go...
