When it rains . . .

. . . it pours! I am overloaded in potential posts! First, the party was a roaring SUCCESS and Joseph had a great time too. I will post pictures tonight when everyone is snugly tucked in bed. Second, an addendum is needed on the biting incident that I will also have to post later this evening. Third, my good friend, Stie, has nominated me for a Nice Blogger Award! How nice of her! (Good thing she didn't see me in my last minute party preparation attitude :) I can't say enough about her. She came into my life when I was a new mother and was my inspiration, comfort, therapist, friend until I too soon moved away. I thank her every night when my children go to bed at 7:00 for her sleeping wisdom. Luckily, I am up for a much needed dose of Stie in just about a month when we meet up in NYC! Can't wait.

This is my first every blog award and I am duly excited! I gather from her site that it is now my prerogative to bestow this award on three others to continue the bloggy love. Here goes: First award goes to my sister-in-law Lori who has just experience an "extreme family makeover." Check out her first steps into motherhood, she's fantastic. Amidst her new life she still has the time to ooze niceness to everyone around. :)

Second award goes to my friend Annie who I will also be meeting in NYC! Annie is nice enough to free up all her neighbors to take wonderful Labor Day weekend getaways by hosting all their pets. Doesn't get much nicer than that.

Third award goes to my friend Gremhog. I tell you, she is nice enough that after reading about my biting incident at church she actually called me to make sure I didn't need any extra therapy and offer a listening ear. One can't ask for much more than that. Go get a dose of life with kids grown over at her blog. A friend on the flip side of my life is priceless!

So, pass on the kindness and let's hear about the niceies in your life!
