We did something Friday night we haven't done in 9 months. Brian and I took Sam out and left Julia home with Grandma Pauly. We've been pretty good about Sam getting one-on-one time with Mommy or Daddy, but it's been 9 months since we've been out just the three of us. Sam wasn't sure what to do with both of us along on an outing.


We (Ok, mostly Daddy, Alan, and Julie) sold 34 floats in 2 hours. I was a bit nervous about how Sam was going to behave while we were working, but since it was at 10am the morning of the fundraiser that I remembered that Brian had signed us up to help, I didn't want to leave our last minute sitter (thank you Rena) with two children to put to bed.

We could hear the music from the church and even though Sam was already in is PJ's, we couldn't resist walking over there when the band played Old MacDonald for the kiddos.
The next song they did was the limbo. Now Sam has never heard this song before, but he's always been one to keep up with the other kids so off he scampered to join in the fun.
He got many a laughs from the crowd and the guy with the mike asked for his name at one point so he could talk about him. I thought for sure Sam was going to just step over the mike stand when they guy lowered it too far to go under, but oh no, he ducked his head and waddled under. He was so careful that he was well past the bar before he stood up. That's my boy! (Mommy is always telling him to be careful not to hit his head.)

The funniest part was when they had the hula hoop contest. Sam streeeetched his arms as far as he could reach to get a hold of both sides, hung on for dear life, and then spun in circles. He had the crowd roaring it was so hysterical.



Weeeee! Look at me go!!!!!!!!!











The face of a happy little boy.

He got to spend the evening with his mommy and daddy, he ate ice cream, spun in circles, and got to stay up 2 hours past his bedtime.

"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

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
