The Beginning of my Blog

The title of my blog says it all. I really want to be the Proverbs 31 woman, but I'm afraid most days I'm closer to the slacker mom. Right now I'm really excited about becoming an aunt. Aunt Lana. I love it! I can't wait to meet little Ayden Thomas Jones. We were eating Chick-Fil-A after shopping for baby stuff and discussing whether or not Auntie Kara would have any more babies. Ben asked, "How does it work?" Thanh said, "The stork brings them." Ben goes, "Mom, really, how does it happen?" My mind started racing, wondering how to best put out this little fire, but Thanh, without missing a beat, told him, "You're too young to know. I'll tell you when you're older." "Okay" was all he said, and then went right on eating his nuggets! Whew!

My mom and dad just brought the kids home from their house. Benjamin smelled like a brim fresh out of Kingsley Lake. I asked him what he'd been into. He said he'd tell me but he'd be in trouble, but eventually he whispered in my ear, "I was playing with some medicine and it squirted me in the face." I just started laughing because then I remembered I had left a fish oil capsule on the table that I meant to take with lunch. Needless to say, he had his bath early tonight!
