Happy Easter!

From our family to yours!

 We had a lovely Easter this year. The kids woke us at 7:00 so we could come downstairs and find their Easter baskets. Sam and Julia were both excited about their gifts - Castle set w/ knights in the plastic eggs for Sam and a Hello Kitty Lego set in the eggs for Julia along with a matching pj set for her and a doll.  Elsa got her first cup and a stuffed ducky. (She had her first glass of water today and seemed to really enjoy it.)

We had to be at church by 9:00 to take advantage of the breakfast the youth group serves on Easter Sunday. That was a stretch with all I needed to pack for our day at Grandma and Grandpas, workouts, baths, etc... but we made it and had plenty of time to change into their Easter outfits before rehearsal for the Sunday school program at 10:00 church. Church was short so Elsa only got a 30 minute nap but I soak up every second of my snuggle time with her during the services.

Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I needed to assemble these
 And make sure we got a family photo before the kids got their clothes dirty.  We managed to accomplish both tasks before the rest of the family arrived. Score!

Patty brought her famous rolls. Yum!

This was our view from the garage much of the afternoon: It was 63 degrees out but windy. Elsa snuggled with me and took another nap. 


Apparently it's really hard work to look this cute!

 

The swing always provides a nice photo opp!

It's not a family function without a group shot of the cousins! Technically they are second and third cousins but regardless they are FAMILY and we love them all!!!!


Hope you all had a nice Easter as well!!!

    It was a great Easter. Church first and then lots of company. Our group is getting bigger all the time. There were 30 of us yesterday as 3 people could not make it. Everyone brought such great food. The only oops for the day is the veggie tray that Sharon brought was put in the frig when she came and I didn't notice it until after everyone left. It was a great day with good food and very good company! love ya

"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
