Tekkin it Easy

"There is no need for temples,
No need for complicated philosophies.
My brain and my heart are my temples;
My philosophy is kindness."

The Dalai Lama

I haven't been feeling well the past few days, sucks being in bed "taking it easy." Between Mummy, Daddy and John they won't let me do much.  Bleh.  I feel great, in my mind, but they are right.  And I am so thankful to have parents that care about me so much and have always been so loving, supportive and accepting.  In my adult years I have seen great contrast that has directly shown me how truly amazing they are. I love my parents!!! And all my other sweet friends and family, and ex-family, I am so grateful to have such wonderful people in my life in the ups and downs of it all.    And of course, John, who waits on me hand and foot, I am enjoying being spoilt!  He tries to do it all the time but being the "independent woman" I am I don't allow him to too much. 

Missing my little pumpkins while they are with Jesse for the weekend, but at least it gives me time to rest and be back up and running, literally running, when they get back.

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?"  They both shrugged.  I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
