Elsa Louise at 21 weeks

I decided to switch things up a bit now that I've run out of winter hats to put on Elsa for her weekly basket photos. This week I used a blanket that was lovingly made by her great aunt Helen. I'm also running out of different diaper covers/diapers for her to wear. She turned five months old today so it was bound to happen some day right?

Besides I didn't want to cover what's changed the most for her this week and that's her hair. You can actually see hair on her head now!  The super soft fuzz is slowly but surely growing out. The bald spot on the back of her head is filling in. Will there be curls someday? We're only 4 weeks away from when we discovered them on JoJo.
















So what's new for week 21? This new way of holding her feet for one thing. The other thing I want to remember about this age is her affinity for lunging forward (mouth wide open) for a huge snuggle. I have to be careful that we don't knock heads. She's certainly not careful! She practically tackles me as she buries her head in my shoulder.






It's a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e

and so is she!

"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
