Cheese, Santa, and McDonalds

What do cheese, Santa, and McDonalds have in common? Why, my adorable little daughter.

Grace named a penguin Christmas ornament she picked out in Walmart, Cheese, and has been carrying it around the house kissing and hugging it. Today, when Joe asked if she wanted some cheese, she brought him Cheese.

I got out our Christmas decorations this weekend, and with them came a Santa dish towel, which I hung on the oven door. Today, I caught Grace tickling Santa several times, to which I would reply, "Ho Ho Ho." She thought that was pretty funny.

Yesterday, at a mother-daughter date to McDonalds, Grace waved to everyone who left the restaurant, ate three chicken nuggets, told me she loved me, and cleaned her high chair when she was done. And no, she doesn't quite say I love you yet; we taught her how to sign it.

And now for some visual cuteness:

I am Thankful For...

My husband of almost four years. I am so blessed to be married to such a godly wonderful man:

My absolutely adorable daughter:

She is "eating" her stuffed watermelon toy that Grandma bought her.

Our new baby boy, growing and moving (constantly) inside me:

A soon-to-be brother-in-law:

A warm house (and Oregonians being wimps when it comes to snow so my husband gets a snow day):

Note: This picture was taken two years ago during a time it actually snowed.

...the thought of all the yummy food about to be consumed in a few short days, Christmas is on it's way, crafting, a sister who likes to craft with me, good family and friends, and so much more.

Thanks you Lord for all the many, many blessings in my life.

It's a Boy

For those of you who haven't heard yet, the Mogfords are having a boy. According to Joe, "We may be few in number, but the Mogford name shall endure to a new generation."
I usually like to include a picture with my posts, but the ultrasound picture of our little tyke isn't exactly G rated so we'll just stick with this:
