On Thursday, two of my mom's brothers came over to my house to visit with us. They brought a guitar and each played/sang a bit (very characteristic of a Peterson gathering). At one point, my mom and my uncles were singing that song that goes, "Rock-a my soul in the bosom of Abraham" (also characteristic) and I couldn't help but feel so. very. blessed. that not only do I have fond memories of growing up surrounded by traditions like this, my children will, too. The three of them sang it in a round fashion, and it was just so beautiful to me. I sure do love all of my Peterson family.
It's also so touching to me when people make a point to love my children, family or friends alike. I have countless family members who bless them so and it means so much to me. I'm thankful for family. Just tonight I was at my little cousin's 10th birthday party with aunts, uncles, cousins, 2nd cousins, my grandma...some people see 2nd cousins never, but my 2nd cousin is coming over for a sleepover tomorrow night, how lucky are my kids?!?! I sure do love my Eider family too.
Someday I'll dedicate time to brag about the wonderful friends I have, too, but for now I need to move on before I start bawling.
Tomorrow we're going to check out Slumberland and the other furniture stores around yonder to look for bunkbeds for Harper and Sophie. This is kind of a big undertaking because it means switching their room to our current room, which will include a little painting, a little reorganizing...all things that are hard to find time for. But I'm excited to shop!
So I posted a pic of my hubby Josh last night, and a couple of my FB friends commented that Josh looks like Chris Daughtry (from the band "Daughtry"), and tho I'd never noticed, it's totally true!! And while Josh is not the rocker/singer/guitar-player/guy-liner wearer type, I'd say Chris is not a bad person to resemble! I *maybe* had a crush on him when he was on American Idol (tho Josh is hotter) This was the pic~
So then I googled pics of Chris, and found one where his eyes were closed, too.
As I looked through other pics of Chris, I saw more of Josh, too. It's weird! What do you think, do they resemble each other!?!
Okay, so I'd better sign off if I'm going to get up early and run. Because I am. I am I am I am. YES I AM.
Oh wait, one more thing, just wanted to say THANKS for the "likes"! It's fun knowing who my audience is! Feel free to "like" my links anytime!
Until next time...
