Too Blessed to be Stressed...

"Too blessed to be stressed..."  I heard this for the first time on (of all places..) Minute to Win it last week and it has totally stuck with me.  In the past couple months I have felt nothing but stress.. from trying to get our house ready to go on the market, a new baby on the way, Lucas' duel eye surgeries, a leaking roof, a limit pushing 2 year old, money issues, crappy weather etc etc etc.....
Since hearing this quote I am now trying to look at the "stress" in my life differently. We are blessed!! Yes, its stressful trying to get a house on the market...but at least we have a house! Its been a definite "fixer upper" but it has been a great starter home for our family and the only home Nathan has ever known. Yes, we have had our share of stress with this pregnancy, from the morning sickness, to the choroid plexus cysts, to now not knowing if Lucas will be in town for the delivery :-S but.. how blessed are we to be having another angel in our home. Yes, we have a little boy with a bit of an attitude right now...but the amount of joy and laughter he brings Lucas and I everyday, far outweighs the occasional "devil moments" ;-) 
Anyways... I will stop my rambling! but thought I should share my new motto with you. Maybe it can help you see the blessings in your life as well. :-)

Here are a few pics from the last couple of weeks in the McEwan house. Enjoy!
