I rock out in my Merrells every day (I'm curious about the Keens). Your list reminds me a little of "Amelie". Ever since I saw that movie I, too, like to make mental lists of things that make me sublimely happy. Thank you for sharing your list.<BR/><BR/>Karen Y.

So when you start hearing those comments from people about how old you and your husband are in getting started with children, just think about what you would have had to give up in order to begin earlier! With our oldest three and then 4 year old (and now 2 year old!!), we get strange comments too. I just laugh and say that we just weren't ready for the empty nest syndrome! And then when they assume our 4 year old was an "oops", I usually open my mouth and let them know that he was indeed planned! I sometimes just can't keep my mouth shut! But keep your chin up because the kids are worth all of it in the end!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
