Baby Stellan

Today we are wearing orange in baby Stellan's honor. He is having risky heart surgery in Boston this morning. Please check out their blog (mycharmingkids) for more information and to see photos sent from all over the world of bloggers wearing orange for Stellan. Please pray for him and his family.

Easter 2009

On Saturday we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at church. Em and Austin had fun and got lots of candy. Then on Sunday after church we went to Grandma and Granddaddy's in Jemison. They got more stuff from them and their wonderful Aunts. I tried to take some good pictures but they would not look at the camera..oh well..I thought they looked so cute anyway. We had a good time and got to see Aunt Ruby and Cousin Scott who came down from North Carolina.

We wish we could of gotten to see Grammie, Granddaddy, Uncle Blake, and Papa...but hopefully we will be able to see them sometime within the next two weeks..Papa is in the nursing home now....but hopefully he is feeling better.

Em also lost another tooth..this one on the bottom. I think the tooth fairy needs a raise!!!

Kids Market

We went to the kids market today. I found these great deals for Austin and Emily Grace. There was so much stuff-hard to choose which to buy. Items are high quality (strasburg, kelly kids, etc) brand new or gently used. I am going to have to save for it next time it comes around...I could get the kids set for the whole year at awesome prices! I really love that I found the three piece gingham outfit monogrammed with Em's name...that was such a great blessing and it looks sooooo cute on her..I am going to have to take some pics later ...

Granddaddy's B-day

We went to Jemison to spend the day at Grandma and Granddaddy Otts' house for Granddaddy's b-day. We hope you had a great day Granddaddy!

It is a date...

Emil Grace and James are headed to the Daughter/Daddy Banquet tonight. She was so excited and was wearing her favorite dress. Notice what else is missing? Her top tooth flew out last night...we found it in the hallway..so I did not have to write the tooth fairy an IOU again!

Please remember to keep Baby Stellan in your prayers!! (See mycharmingkids link for more updates).

Happenings..

I tried my hand at making this name plaque for Em. It came out pretty good.(Anyone interested in one?) I am still trying to find the power cord to my sewing maching so that I can try to make Em a pillowcase dress. It would be great if I can actually make it and then be able to make them for others! (Anyone have any tips in making one?)

I am still trying to unpack and find a place for things...and keep up with Austin while Em is at school. She told me yesterday that the last day of school was not coming fast enough!! (Can we say she has a bit of her Aunt Rachel in her???)

Please remember to keep Baby Stellan and his family in your prayers (see mycharmingkids link on the right). Also check out Kelly's blog and precious Baby Harper (whose story is a miracle also).

Please leave a comment...I would love to get to know some other bloggers and I am very interested on how you found my blog!

Strange Bird...

We put bird seed in the bird feeder waiting to see what birds would visit....and look what we found! This squirrel stayed about an hour picking out the sunflower seeds out of the bird seed. We also have watched him climb up the pole and chase off any birds in there to get a bite to eat. What a funny sight!

Gotta Play

Austin and I went to the park this morning. He loved it and had a blast going from one thing to another. It was so funny to see him go down the slide since his hair would stick up...he needs a haircut!

Crazy Weather

It has been in the 60's this week....this morning we get SNOW! The crazy thing is by this next weekend it will be in the 70's! I am soooo ready for spring!! I am not sure if I am going to let Em and Austin out to play in the snow..they are just now getting over the crud....
