Random Picture Challenge #6

This week Brittany chose:

February 2008
or
17th folder
33rd picture

I went with the 17th folder and landed on this photo of Sam and Uncle Gary. It's a rare treat to have Gary in town from Alaska so it was nice to revisit this folder of pictures.

When these were taken (April 16th, 2008) we weren't living in our house yet, but we had a key so we could move things into the garage, paint 3 rooms, and refinish the hardwood floors.
It was fun to be able to Gary around the park and the "before" of the house. Now if only the weather could be that nice right now. (We're not going to reach 40 this weekend)

Consider yourself invited for the 'after' tour Gary and Laura! :)

  9. Jumped over from MckMama's place and really like it here! I don't blog (scandalous I know) so I can't join her forum. I just wanted to let someone know in her sphere of influence that I'm in Cleveland OH and would LOVE to help in anyway I could should Mr. Stellen need care here.

  10. I thought posting here would be the easiest way to pass on info to MckMama as it is unlikely she would see the comment in her own blog. My family has moved across several states to receive care. We stayed at a Ronald McDonald House- it is very likely that if stellan goes to a larger city they will have a RMDH. I HIGHLY cannot say that highly enough, recommend them. Not only for the cost (they charge what you can pay, up to $15-20 dollars a night) but the most important thing, is that they put you with moms/dads/other children who are going through very similar things. Also, there are meals provided most nights and other activities for other siblings that might be there.

    It depends on where you are, as to how long you can stay. The one we were at had people there for years. The one in my current town lets you stay 30 days, and then you have to move out for one day and then move back in. Angel flights will also fly child back and forth for free. Hope this helps. If you need more information, feel free to contact me bloven@yahoo.com

    As a side note- my family also runs a campground. fun stuff.

"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
