Some Awesomeness

It has been awhile since I have posted "some awesomeness", which I feel bad about because it is not due to there not being any awesomeness.  Rather, it is due to attempting to participate in what I might currently refer to as "my so called life".  I wish I had the discipline to update this blog each and every day...I know I have a lot to say and that it would probably help my current mental status if I were to get all my thoughts out, but...it just doesn't work that way when you have a two-year old (and four-year old....and seven-year old...and nine-year old).

The fact is, however, that there has been awesomeness.  I need to mention how I receive a card almost every week from Mary Ann Steuber - another member of our church. It is amazing to me that she remembers to send one to us each week, let alone finds a new and different card to send.  They always uplift me and they always allow me to take a moment to breathe.

This past Sunday, while at my parent's house for dinner, my dad's Cousin John Bruckner stopped by with a bag full of brand new crazy socks!!!!  Wow!!!  This is so cool.  I am sorry to say that in the confusion of people talking and kids running around that I am not certain if the socks are from John and his wife, Karen, or if they are from their daughter, Abby, or if Abby shopped for them but they are from everyone in the Bruckner family?!?!  Regardless, I sure do appreciate them!  Thank you! 

And...Cousin John (as he is referred to), also brought a basket filled with fruit, candy hearts, Valentine's pencils, and Valentine's straws and Valentine's candy and Valentine's pasta that Karen put together.  We had a lot of fun doling it all out to all of the Berrall cousins running around and they had fun receiving it.  Thank you so much, Bruckners! You went to a lot of work and it was just beautiful and so very nice!

On Monday, we received dinner from the Neinas family, from our church.  Annette was nice enough to make dairy and egg-free cupcakes!  Holy moly can you say "score!"  The boys were so thrilled.  Although, apparently my mom would like to have words with you, Annette, about the blue frosting!  :-)  Too funny! Thank you so much for the delicious meal and for the delighted look all over the boys' faces!

We also received an amazing allergy-free "Brinner" (breakfast for dinner) from the Fox family on Tuesday evening.  We have a saying around here - "Breakfast. It's what's for dinner" - because the kids love this meal so much.  We rarely ever make breakfast for breakfast, more often we have it for dinner!  Thanks so much, Foxes for knowing just what the kids like!

And thank you all for continued thoughts and prayers.  You will never know how much they are appreciated!
