New to Blog land... Kind of...

I have been blogging on xanga for almost 6 years now.. But I feel I have kind of outgrown that blog.. I started it right after I was married and we were just starting our life together! We now have 3 kiddos, and I'd like a blog devoted to the joys (And trials) of raising my precious gifts from God!

We have 3 kids. Nadia, Sami, and Samirah.

Nadia is 4. She is a lively little woman with a mind all her own and she's not afraid to let me *(or anyone else)* know it! She is in preschool and she loves it! She's very bright (Sometimes a little TOO bright) and she loves taking ballet and doing crafts.













Sami turns 2 this coming April. He's my little manly guy. He's a very calm kid and very attached to me. I still nurse him.. I am currently breastfeeding him AND his younger sister! So I'll have plenty of humerous stories having to do with tandem nursing. Sami loves playing with trucks and cars.. Anything with wheels really. He is all boy!! He rarely cries or complains. He's such a good good boy.






Samirah is the newest addition to our family. 2 weeks new today! She joined us via a water birth which was absoloutely beautiful and peaceful.. After two "land births" giving birth in the water was an amazing experience for me. And God willing I ever have more children- They will also be brought into the world that way. Samirah is a nice calm baby. She nurses well and is very cuddly. She loves to be held (by me.. Not so much by daddy) and loves kisses and hugs. She tolerates her older siblings well. Who.. mean well... but... can be... rough.. lol











Husam.. My dearest husband.. Going on 9 years together... He's the loves of my life. My very best and dearest friend and I can't imagine living a day on this earth without him. He has his faults sure.. But so do I. lol. We can irritate the heck out of eachother but at the end of the day, we both know it was meant to be. I can tell him anything. And vice versa. You'll hear plenty about him here too!!

Me? Gosh I never like talking about myself because I tend to identify myself with being a mother and wife. I enjoy taking care of my kids and my husband and I define myself by being good at that. I don't work outside of the home, but do wish to one day, become a lactation consultant as breastfeeding and seeing others be succsessful at breastfeeding is my passion. One day.. When I'm not so needed around here ;-)

Well. I look forward to getting to know others out there in blog world!!! I hope to update fairly often!
