Thursday Randoms.

It's been several days since I've blogged, and I'm back. We've suffered endured the 12 week growth spurt here, and it hasn't been easy. My littlest one had a few miserable days, which resulted in his momma's most frustrating days as a parent yet. I believe that we're on the other end of the "spurt" now, and our sweet life is back. Despite the challenges of the past week, there have been so many precious moments for which I'm thankful:
Eric and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. He brought me a dozen red roses and the sweetest card I've ever received. I love this man who is constantly here for me, supporting me, encouraging me, and most of all, loving me!

I'm thankful for my sweet little boys. Even when we're in the midst of a temper tantrum or a 45-minute bouncing/shushing session, I wouldn't trade it for the world. These precious babies are my everything!

We celebrated my mom's birthday with my family. I am grateful for my mom, who taught me so many of life's lessons. She's always been a constant support and role model in my life, and I don't know where I would be without her. Happy Birthday, Mom!

I made this pumpkin cheesecake, with the help of a certain 2-year-old who loves to mix and pour! It was delicious!

My Christmas shopping for the boys is practically finished. Of course, they're the most important and most fun for whom to shop, so that's that. I'm hoping to be finished with all Christmas shopping/crafting by Thanksgiving!
