Happy 9 month birthday Julia!


I love this picture that Jennifer took of Julia. It captures her sweetness like no other photo ever has. As her mom, I'll always think she's a cutie, but as her personality develops I find that I'm just as enamored with her sweet disposition and laid back demeanor. Not much phases Julia - except for maybe a little stranger anxiety and of course her brother's teeth.
Tonight I had her 9 month pictures taken at Proex and then she and I went shopping at the Mall. Even getting to bed 2 hours late didn't bother her one bit. She still had lots of smiles and leg flails for Daddy when we got home. I can't wait to share the beautiful portraits I splurged on at our photo shoot. I'll be entering one of them in the studio's portrait contest at the end of the month. My only problem is deciding which one to enter. Speaking of contests.....I submitted a photo of JoJo in a cute baby contest that I'll post about later this month. Watch for a link under the archives section so you can help send Julia to college. (The grand prize is a college scholarship.)

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Party Hardy

I celebrated my 32 nd birthday with a Big Sledding Bash at our park. It felt like -29 when we woke up but we were too busy preparing food to notice. Here's the china cabinet that we used to chill some of the beverages. The rest fit in the refrigerator (once we moved all our condiments across the street to the park refrigerator) The first round of guests that arrived included this cutie... His mom, MckMama , his aunt, Hilary , and blogging In Real Life friends, Esther and her sweet daughter, Emma. Because it was so cold we didn't have to rent skis. That meant PapaBear could join the fun. He took me for a couple rides on our vintage toboggan. Tanner went down the hill at least 20 times. Sam preferred keeping watch over the fire with Grandpa, but I did get him to go down once with Isaac and I. Thanks Gene for keeping the fire going for so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill and Trudy took a spin around the park on their skis. Talk about brave! Seventeen of our g
