Stockings on the Mantle

A few years ago when I went shopping after Christmas at Hobby Lobby, I bought 6 matching snowflake stocking holders to put on the mantle. You see, M and I have always talking about having 4 children. So in order to have matching ones, I decided I would buy them since they had enough and they were on clearance. I felt kind of funny about it at the time, because we weren't even trying to have children, but my desire for symmetry got the best of me.

Now that Birdie has made her entrance into the world, we only have three more to go! :) I'm not sure how many the Lord will bless us with, but 4 still seems like a good number. I love having Birdie around and I love being able to spend time with her all day.

She will be 3 months tomorrow and a few weeks ago, I could and still do say that we would love to have more very soon. I don't think there will be four stockings on the mantle next year, but maybe in 2010!
