Other Big News (Late)




On July 5, my sister's first baby was born.  This is the first cousin to my kids on my side of the family.  

We're all very excited.

Meet Peanut.  



One day old, clinging to his proud daddy.



It's been so fun!  Congrats, Sister and Brother!  Your baby is beautiful!

The Boys are Good :)


Yesterday, I gave you a quick update on our baby.  Today...our strapping young lads.

They're good boys.  They love their sister.  They're excited about the new baby in Mommy's tummy, and they say my belly's getting bigger. 

They play so well together.  I can't imagine it better...it's such a blessing to me... so much more than this mommy deserves.

Something Big You Missed

During my blogging hiatus/temporarily lost camera/constant nausea, you all missed out  on an important milestone.


My baby started walking.

Her first steps were actually for her Papa while we were in the waiting room awaiting the arrival of my new nephew (more news on that later).  

She spent a few weeks just taking a few steps here and there, but this last week was when she decided to switch over to her new primary mode of transportation.




I'm so proud of her!

2 Days in a Row

Because I want to get back into the blogging routine, I'm blogging right now...just to blog.  I think I might get out my external hard drive later and put some older pictures up for everyone to see.  Does that sound fun? :)


Hubby's taking the boys fishing this afternoon, and PigTails and I are going to go grocery shopping so we can make a casserole for church on Sunday.

It's a beautiful day.

Love, ME :)

I'm Alive! :)

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile....


The thing is, I've been battling a bit of...morning sickness.  True enough. :)  And, one of the things that has made me feel nauseous is...my computer!  Oh well...

Anyway...I think I'm starting to come out of the yucky stage.  I am 13 weeks along, and got to see our little one in an ultrasound yesterday.  The doctor said the baby is at most 2 inches long, but I could see every detail of his/her little moving baby body.  Fingers, toes...precious.

So, I'm invigorated!  That's why I'm blogging...and I hope to do some more soon.  I've been without my camera for a couple weeks as I left it at my parents' house... I'll be getting it back next week, and I have a new appreciation for it.  I'll post pictures as soon as I get my hands on that memory card.

Oh, I also got myself a new computer!  A Mac!  Fun, right?

Ok...there's more...I want to update you on the kids and their cute growing things...soon.

Love you all and miss you!
