Ok so if most of you are wondering why I haven’t blogged very much, it’s because I now have an extra child and it makes finding time to blog very difficult. I used to blog almost everyday and now I feel like I’m lucky if I get to take a shower everyday. I know I have James’s help but still life gets so busy and there’s not enough time to do much of anything. I’m sure it will get better once I’m a little bit more used to handling 3 kids. So if blogging gets slow you’ll know why. I love having this little girl in my life and definitely wouldn’t change it for the world. Now I’m off to packing for children’s camp. Later
Day of Disaster July 12, 2009
Let’s just say we have had a few days with Asher making such messes everywhere. The first one was this last Friday and I had taken Jordan to his follow up doctor’s appt. for his skin. When I got back Asher was on my bed crying because Daddy had given him a spanking because he had gotten in the bathroom and had squeezed out Gracie’s whole bottle of lavender johnson’s baby wash and had gone into my shower and gotten out my body wash purchased the day before and also squeezed quite a bit of that down the drain as well. The next thing on Asher’s agenda was to snatch the baby’s pacifier out of her mouth and stuff it into his own then premeditate some other disasters on his mission. Next he found Daddy’s guitar oil and squeeze that on the floor too. At least it was on the wood floor so it was easy to clean up. Ok now fast forward to Saturday morning. I couldn’t find Asher ANYWHERE so I went on a search to look for him. It was very quiet so I knew that couldn’t be good. I found him in my bathtub with a bag of powder doughnuts, Abi’s DSI (gameboy), his bag of toys and several pacifiers he stole from the baby. Now fast forward to lastnight. He got into my makeup bag and made a huge mess with that. Wow am I going to survive Asher? He was so funny in the bathtub, I just had to take a picture.
The not so happy first bath… June 29, 2009
Ok so now that Gracie’s cord fell off it was time for her very first real bath. Let’s just say she was stanky and ready for the plunge. She wasn’t too keen on her bath and screamed throughout the whole ordeal. I, of course had to take pictures because it just had to be blogged. For those of you wondering why her belly looks blue, I have no clue. The water was warm so it was some color thing the camera did. Anyway here are some highlights of the bath. This was also the first time we heard her actually scream really loud. It’s nice to know her lungs work well. haha
Sunday Snap Shots June 29, 2009
Yesterday was Gracie’s first Sunday at church so of course it has to be blogged about. She was a perfect child and slept in Daddy’s arms the whole service.
A Note to Gracie June 27, 2009
We had so many friends come and visit us at the hospital when Gracie was born and it meant alot to have so many people come and welcome her into the world. We were supposed to be discharged around 12 pm but because of the tests Gracie was going through for her heart we weren’t discharged until about 4:00 the Saturday after Gracie was born. I am glad we were late because a very precious friend came and brought Gracie an adorable outfit and a sweet note. I have gotten permission to post this note and it’s from Mrs. Sally and Mr. Jim Hargrove. Thank you for sharing such sweet words with our baby.
Dear Baby Grace,
Happy Birthday! We have been praying for your Mommy since she was pregnant with you. Now that you are home we hope your daddy will hug you alot and take you for long walks and tell you what’s on his heart. Listen to him because he loves you very much! Your brothers will take care of you and protect you. They will love you always. Your mom carried you next to her heart for the last nine months. She will carry you there for the rest of her life and yours. She and your daddy are wise. Listen to them and obey what they tell you. Jim and I love you too and will promise to lift you in our prayers and ask God to protect you always. We are glad that you are here bringing joy to all those who love you.
Love to you and your family,
Mrs. Sally and Mr. Jim Hargrove
Trick Candle? June 23, 2009
This was video taped by Aunt Buppy a few weeks ago and I don’t know if mom laughing is more funny or if Jordan having problems blowing out the candle is more funny. You decide and let me know!!
My Mom June 23, 2009
Hi mom I just wanted to write to you and say thank you for what an inspiration you are to me. Maybe I’ve been thinking about our relationship lately because I now have a little girl and hope and pray that it will be like what we have. I appreciate you and all you do to encourage, lift up, pray, talk, answer questions and provide all that you can for our family when times are tough right now. God has blessed me so much with you and I am so thankful that you are a part of our lives even though we live furthur apart than I would like. I am so glad that you were able to share our special day with us also in the delivery room to bring our little girl into this world. What a joyous day that was. James and I are blessed to have you in our lives and the kids are so thrilled each time they get to call Lola and talk to her on the phone. I love you so much!!
Gracie’s first moments with her Lola (Gracie wasn’t too happy to be out and in the cold air haha)
