1. Write for five minutes flat for pure unedited love of the written word.
2. Link back to Lisa Jo Baker's blog with the rest of the Five Minute Friday-ers.

A challenge indeed, Lisa Jo Baker. I've been away for awhile, so I was hoping for a word that would ease me back into things. I guess there's nothing quite like jumping in with both feet!

What are some of the coolest things you've ever seen? Really, I actually want to know! Here are my top however many I can write in five minutes:

  1. When I went in for my first ultrasound, Husband and I were expecting to see the little seahorse/tadpole character. We thought we were 8 weeks along, but were actually 15. You can imagine the surprise when the view was actually a face and hands!
  2. My kiddo (no longer a baby, barely even a toddler, sniffle) put her doll to bed the same way Daddy and I put her to bed, complete with her own not quite two year old version of "You are my Sunshine." Tears!
  3. Friends and un-biological family from all over the world. Uppies, Tanzanians, you know who you are, and I love you all!
  4. The clock at the end of my last half marathon reading under two hours as I crossed the finish line. Time goal: achieved. I can relax and have fun from now on!
  5. My nativity set from Tanzania because, well, the people aren't white. What a concept. I'm actually in the market for an ethnically correct nativity set...any leads?
  6. People join together on Thursday evenings for a #fmfparty, welcoming the timid(ish) and overwhelmed with open arms!

Your turn! For real! What makes your list?

STOP

Five Minute Friday

  3. So glad you found your way into #fmfparty - they're a lovely bunch =) I didn't know that part of your pregnancy story! That's amazing! Thanks for the list tonight. Going to make my own little list as I settle into bed - thanks for the inspiration!

    1. Paige surprises us daily, but her first, and without a doubt her biggest, surprise was her very existence!

  4. Beautiful. #2 makes me smile, and #4 is a kick in the butt. :)

    God is so good to give us such an abundant life full of blessings.

  5. It's so great that you got a hands and face when expecting a little tadpole. And so sweet that your baby girl placed her mini me's bed right next to her own bed. Have a happy weekend, Andrea.
