Feels Like Home To Me

We finally got our shipment in a few days ago.
You would think that since we got rid of most our furniture before we left, to start fresh here, that it would be fairly easy.
No. Not close.  Who owns this much stuff?
Apparently us.  
I had no idea how much clothes we had.
And while unpacking etc. little Amalia, omg.  
She's cute, she's sweet, I love her, but she is crawling!
I thought she would perfect sitting before crawling. 
That wasn't in her plans though.  I put her here, I find her there. I can't leave her anywhere.
And then she wants me to hold her to help her walk... all the time.
As though I want her learning to walk anytime soon, no thank you!


The good news is she's growing so sweetly.
She is a very happy little baby.
And I'm a happy Mummy.
And her crib is here! In her own little quiet room.
And our bed is here!
My body is slowly easing the aches and pains caused by so many nights on an air mattress.
And because Amalia has been crawling every time I put her to sleep I can't leave her because I am afraid she will fall.
So the crib has opened up so much more time in my day.

And what do I do with that time?
COOK!
I got all my spices back!
Definitely back on my A game in the kitchen now.
Feel so at home in there.
So excuse me while I go and get in my "comfort zone" known as the kitchen and whip up something for the family!

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...

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical.
