Don't have everything hung up yet but getting there....Rita gave me several Radio Flyer miniatures I'm planning on putting on a shelf. Also, gonna throw some of Mack's babseball things in there. He has the coolest collection of several of the balls he pitched with in high school, all with little scribbles on them about who they were playing and who he happened to strike out that game:) I love it...He's gonna build a little dispaly shelf to put them on which I think will look really cool. Just have to note my thriftiness...I fell in love with the wall murals that matched this bedding with the retro tricycle, scooter and wagon. I found a Radio Flyer tricycle that I wanted to get eventually that I thought would look so neat in there. Soooo, i was at my friend Alisha's house-going through her maternity clothes and little girl clothes before they had their moving sale. When I spotted a Retro Radio Flyer tricyle in the corner, my eyes lit up! I thought-it couldn't hurt to ask and so I did...'are you selling that tricyle?' to which she replied 'I'd sell my vehicle if someone offered me enough for it'..lol, love her. So I asked how much she wanted for it(I don't think Jamie wanted to get rid of it for the girls' sake) but they both said $15 and I said wootwoot! SCORE!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v3Nd-Cyi8dw/TfeZCD7MkhI/AAAAAAAAA48/trmW5ozdmcA/s1600/IMG_7720.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618127320860365330" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v3Nd-Cyi8dw/TfeZCD7MkhI/AAAAAAAAA48/trmW5ozdmcA/s200/IMG_7720.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D98T_vFmFgk/TfeZBqNbHPI/AAAAAAAAA40/_E453eU6lek/s1600/IMG_7718.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618127313957494002" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D98T_vFmFgk/TfeZBqNbHPI/AAAAAAAAA40/_E453eU6lek/s200/IMG_7718.JPG" border="0" /></a> And here is my hospital gown I made!

He said I was making some progress and stated 'you'll probably make it 2 more weeks...' umm, excuse me? So, i say-'So, I won't be making it til July 3rd?' to which he replies-'i can't say for sure, but you're moving right along.'. Oh my. I've been feeling like maybe he would be early but I was giving myself another 3 weeks...and who knows? He may not come til the 3rd, BUT, when the doc is saying 2 weeks, that's a good indication. so, now it's time to get down to business-for real. At least his nursery is ready-mostly. Gotta get car seat in...I got some of my pjs together last night. I think I was nesting a little...stayed up til 11:30 folding clothes. Tagged some consignment items for the Dittos for Kiddos fall sale(<a href="http://dittosforkiddos.net/">http://dittosforkiddos.net/</a>) trying to get it done before Bennett gets here. Hoping to pull in a little extra cash for my maternity leave. I am now 36 weeks and don't have a 35 week pic...but above is my humungous belly from 34 weeks.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I can't wait to meet my little baby boy! </div>amyandmackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06771633695210849967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223079672934565645.post-28852337959743556382011-05-31T10:15:00.000-07:002011-06-02T17:23:40.327-07:00A month of fun<div>May has been a great month!

We had rehearsal and the Sonnet House and the dinner at The Club. AWESOME! Kathleen was the flower girl with Jessica's nephew who is just 1 day older that her. They were precious! Friday we got hair done and ate at Newks(I've been craving a Newk's que sandwich and it hit the spot-yummo!) Then headed to the Sonnet House. Jessica was an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL bride!! and the wedding was just gorgeous-that's an understatement. I forgot to give Mack my camera so I have no pics of the ceremony:( but trust me, it was perfect. they looked so happy and I wish them the best of luck!(I'd like to give myself kudos for not falling walking down the aisle in heels-your balance is all crazy anyways when you're 8 months pregnant. throw some heels in there and whoa! :) <br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-19BwoTiYb8g/TeUrlxcshYI/AAAAAAAAA1g/hKqSgIE8O-g/s1600/IMG_7536.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612940438516041090" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-19BwoTiYb8g/TeUrlxcshYI/AAAAAAAAA1g/hKqSgIE8O-g/s200/IMG_7536.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EntSDRgr-JQ/TeUrlFygceI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/xxYHSURR8a4/s1600/IMG_7537.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612940426796364258" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EntSDRgr-JQ/TeUrlFygceI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/xxYHSURR8a4/s200/IMG_7537.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RIpUidSRzW0/TeUrmCDfKeI/AAAAAAAAA1o/q6saUyb2bIY/s1600/IMG_7540.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612940442973710818" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RIpUidSRzW0/TeUrmCDfKeI/AAAAAAAAA1o/q6saUyb2bIY/s200/IMG_7540.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dUcFx7fB4Ug/TeUuRUg7pYI/AAAAAAAAA1w/Bb57RXb3Nc0/s1600/IMG_7561.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612943385686680962" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dUcFx7fB4Ug/TeUuRUg7pYI/AAAAAAAAA1w/Bb57RXb3Nc0/s200/IMG_7561.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />the beautiful bride!!<br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--150at4ZYkI/TeUuRnm-ozI/AAAAAAAAA14/dkX_RrdbUW0/s1600/IMG_7575.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612943390812316466" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--150at4ZYkI/TeUuRnm-ozI/AAAAAAAAA14/dkX_RrdbUW0/s200/IMG_7575.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xEUS5OqNY9U/TeUuSD2JcKI/AAAAAAAAA2I/U-SRKxjsNYU/s1600/IMG_7608.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612943398392131746" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xEUS5OqNY9U/TeUuSD2JcKI/AAAAAAAAA2I/U-SRKxjsNYU/s200/IMG_7608.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s5_xaO5PZpo/TeUuRzzPQCI/AAAAAAAAA2A/ygtgkvnmYbI/s1600/IMG_7598.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612943394084962338" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s5_xaO5PZpo/TeUuRzzPQCI/AAAAAAAAA2A/ygtgkvnmYbI/s200/IMG_7598.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>On Saturday, we took a trip to the Bham zoo with Molly, Trey and Caroline.

It has been an every night thing with her waking up usually around 1 or 2 and come crying to our bedroom. And, of course, we are so out of it that-where do you think she ends up? yep, in our bed for the rest of the night. But, she has been sleeping later the past few days and she finally made it all night! yay! </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>ok, so, I let this post sit in here long enough for Kathleen to start getting out of bed again!:/ hehe. oh well...the praise was fun while it lasted! we had a bad weekend from I hope to be teething. the child only has 4 teeth and most her age are working on a mouthful. We went to the doc the other day for a follow up to some ear infections. her ears were perfect but she had been tugging at them and running a mild fever. the doc said it was probably teeth and she had a lot to do before she turned 2. i'm afraid they are all working on coming in at once. oh yay! </div><br /><br /><br /><div>let's see....what has been happening...</div><br /><br /><div>On April 9th, Mack's cousin, Ben, got married in Pell City. It was one of the sweetest and most beautiful weddings I have ever been too! A few of their pics are in the photographers blog. so good! <a href="http://www.studiogphoto.net/blog/?p=824">http://www.studiogphoto.net/blog/?p=824</a> We had a great time!<br /><br /></div><br /><div>Last week, our friend's litte girl, Grace, had her birthday party at ChuckE Cheese. i haven't been in years and was possible more excited about it than Grace was:) Kathleen had a great time and won some gorgeous plastic jewelry with all her tickets. Again, see pics at the top. I wish I knew why I can't drag my pics anymore...</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Last weekend, Mack and Brent went fishing all day Saturday and then went camping. Kathleen and I joined them after going to John David's soccer game(He did great!) We fished for a few and then grilled some burgers and hot dogs. Mack had originally wanted me and Kathleen to join him in camping. I told him I could not sleep comfortably in my own bed, much less a tent and there was no way I was staying out there. He then wanted Kathleen to stay.. I knew Saturday morning that wasn't going to happen....It was so stinkin cold that day! and I mean COLD! So we headed back home. we had a great time and kathleen caught a couple of fish with her new Barbie fishing pole her Daddy got her:) once again, see pics above:)</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I have been feeling so crafty and Martha Stewart like the last few weeks. of course, I mostly have only gotten as far as thinking of stuff to do-not actually doing it. BUT, I am almost finished smocking Kathleen's flower girl for Jessica's wedding. it's very simple but I like that the most. and she told me just to do something I would use again...so, I went with my trusty flutter sleeve dress, with smocked diamonds. Yes, the same one I've used on almost all the things I have smocked. But, i love it and it's so much easier after you've done it a few times. It's solid pale pink fabric with white smocking. should look awfully pretty on my little blondie:) But, I'm AWFULLY worried about how dirty it will get that day! i will probably be pulling it on and off of her a million times! and then last night...I had seen this on a blog that I had come across on Kiera's blog....wanted to try them SO bad! <a href="http://alittleloveliness.blogspot.com/2011/04/pink-lemonade-cupcakes.html">http://alittleloveliness.blogspot.com/2011/04/pink-lemonade-cupcakes.html</a> so at 8:30 last night I started. they actually turned out really good! I was impressed with myself:) i was hoping my icing would be a little more firm, but maybe next time...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So, in preparation for Bennett I have done....NOTHING! Yep, nothing. i do have my bedding, but I'm not quite ready to put it out yet. I think maybe I will be sad to take kathleen's down-probably part of the problem. i need to get the car seat ready at some point. i feel ready anyways, but need to get some things done around the house before I am chasing 2:) absolutely CAN'T WAIT! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>amyandmackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06771633695210849967noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223079672934565645.post-2190831118164258182011-03-24T12:54:00.001-07:002011-03-24T13:16:29.260-07:00Jessica and Will's shower and others...<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SsK6WsAG7Gg/TYulz9CVv5I/AAAAAAAAAyQ/VB0yO7ZNAm4/s1600/IMG_6995.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587742074659520402" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SsK6WsAG7Gg/TYulz9CVv5I/AAAAAAAAAyQ/VB0yO7ZNAm4/s200/IMG_6995.JPG" border="0" /></a>We went to visit Zach and Krystal(mack's cousin) and their new baby girl, Makenna on the way back from Georgia a couple of weeks ago.

Several of the girls from high school and their significant others came and we all enjoyed a wonderful meal made by Cecilia herself! Followed by her homemade apple pies and vanilla ice cream...oh my! yummy! We all hung out on the deck for a little while and the jessica and Will opened some gifts. they got several nice things and we are all very excited for their big day-May 27th. Once again, i'm having issues with moving pics around so anyways:)</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>amyandmackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06771633695210849967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223079672934565645.post-72928715291580963682011-03-16T10:23:00.000-07:002011-03-16T11:55:20.067-07:00BIG!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f93uoHow1WE/TYEHKG2ZVAI/AAAAAAAAAxI/-dpS7kuXz2Q/s1600/babyboy.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584752883134977026" style="WIDTH: 118px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f93uoHow1WE/TYEHKG2ZVAI/AAAAAAAAAxI/-dpS7kuXz2Q/s200/babyboy.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDgRVBpvQrs/TYEC_jl30SI/AAAAAAAAAxA/hcF5h8k4GV8/s1600/IMG_7002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584748303825228066" style="WIDTH: 187px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LDgRVBpvQrs/TYEC_jl30SI/AAAAAAAAAxA/hcF5h8k4GV8/s200/IMG_7002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VmAbTBgqCfQ/TYEC_T0ibeI/AAAAAAAAAw4/SwxBrc8UX0c/s1600/IMG_6934.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584748299591773666" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VmAbTBgqCfQ/TYEC_T0ibeI/AAAAAAAAAw4/SwxBrc8UX0c/s200/IMG_6934.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JM8z4QsE8oQ/TYEC_HU-j1I/AAAAAAAAAww/EsybOYSvt6w/s1600/IMG_6685.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584748296238174034" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JM8z4QsE8oQ/TYEC_HU-j1I/AAAAAAAAAww/EsybOYSvt6w/s200/IMG_6685.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iJxoNOB9A-M/TYEC-5D-cMI/AAAAAAAAAwo/A9MW-g4V7J0/s1600/IMG_6390.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584748292408766658" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iJxoNOB9A-M/TYEC-5D-cMI/AAAAAAAAAwo/A9MW-g4V7J0/s200/IMG_6390.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GZyUw1DPjLY/TYEC-KvpxKI/AAAAAAAAAwg/BLuQK1pyz9U/s1600/IMG_6064.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584748279975494818" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GZyUw1DPjLY/TYEC-KvpxKI/AAAAAAAAAwg/BLuQK1pyz9U/s200/IMG_6064.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wiwGYKLxfR0/TYD4Nc6ib-I/AAAAAAAAAv4/SDU73YvNWdE/s1600/IMG_6033.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584736447923122146" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wiwGYKLxfR0/TYD4Nc6ib-I/AAAAAAAAAv4/SDU73YvNWdE/s200/IMG_6033.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kTR_QUO8Oi4/TYD0HC9pzCI/AAAAAAAAAvw/HpFObS0E9SA/s1600/IMG_5831.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584731939831139362" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kTR_QUO8Oi4/TYD0HC9pzCI/AAAAAAAAAvw/HpFObS0E9SA/s200/IMG_5831.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W0E2QN5pptU/TYD0GpvRGiI/AAAAAAAAAvo/SClpkOzZECk/s1600/IMG_5803.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584731933059914274" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W0E2QN5pptU/TYD0GpvRGiI/AAAAAAAAAvo/SClpkOzZECk/s200/IMG_5803.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6xQeWOp3ZSw/TYD0Gch4MbI/AAAAAAAAAvg/GKGmEznIQQQ/s1600/IMG_5788.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584731929514095026" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6xQeWOp3ZSw/TYD0Gch4MbI/AAAAAAAAAvg/GKGmEznIQQQ/s200/IMG_5788.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DnpbzIC3p_w/TYD0GG_DIBI/AAAAAAAAAvY/xsPtTel-bwk/s1600/IMG_5740.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584731923730866194" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DnpbzIC3p_w/TYD0GG_DIBI/AAAAAAAAAvY/xsPtTel-bwk/s200/IMG_5740.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4IeKYLu1oZU/TYD0F3gFsTI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/Hrk7sfiSAgc/s1600/IMG_5715.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584731919574479154" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4IeKYLu1oZU/TYD0F3gFsTI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/Hrk7sfiSAgc/s200/IMG_5715.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Sooo, in the last forever since I've posted.

What has happened since then?!?......WAY TOO MUCH! My little girl is getting so big and it is CRAZY how time is flying! </div><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"><strong>6 Months</strong></span></div><div>In January, Kathleen hit the 6th month mark. At that point, she was sitting up on her own and was getting on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. This turned into sprawling on the floor and maneuvering to where she wanted to go. 2 or 3 weeks later, she was crawling! what the heck! This girl was ready to move! But, I was not ready for her to...I thought I had a little more time to sit her on her playmat and walk out of the room for a minute. Not anymore! Along with crawling, she started pulling up at about the same time.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/S5xaCp7q7uI/AAAAAAAAAr4/iaLNqU909lg/s1600-h/IMG_4397.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448328650873827042" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/S5xaCp7q7uI/AAAAAAAAAr4/iaLNqU909lg/s200/IMG_4397.JPG" border="0" /></a> It just amazes me how fast she changed. At her 6 month checkup, she was a doll. She handled her shots soooooo much better....only a slight meltdown. Her were her stats:</div><div>Height-26 and 1/4 in</div><div>Weight-16lb 8oz</div><div>Head circ-16.5</div><div>She looked great! </div><div><br /></div><div>I started feeding her more baby food-I haven't really found any she doesn't like-even peas!. We tried out the sippy cup. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/S5xaDdkAW1I/AAAAAAAAAsA/dA9gaZQcCaM/s1600-h/IMG_4403.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448328664733211474" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/S5xaDdkAW1I/AAAAAAAAAsA/dA9gaZQcCaM/s200/IMG_4403.JPG" border="0" /></a>she did well the 1st time with it, but every time after that has been a struggle. I'm ok with that-I love still holding her and giving her the bottle( although she is pretty much holding it on her own). We also had her 6 months pics done....oh my-she was wonderful! such a good girl.

It's a marketplace in Florence that goes on every year with all types of different vendors and goodies. It's a lot of fun. On the 11th, was our girls' Christmas party. Once again, it was sooo much fun! we all used to get together in high school and just started it back up last year. We had some great finger foods and played dirty santa. It was quite interesting this year:) there are always some wonderful gifts and it seemed like there were a few more hostile situations than last year...haha! the best part is afterwards when we all just sit around and talk and catch up. I feel so blessed to be able to still get together with my high school friends. (I posted pics in previous blog!)<br /></div><div>Then, that Saturday, we headed to Adairsville for a basketball game that honored the team of 1999 that went to state.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4K6ywqZI/AAAAAAAAAnY/NY3x_gNASvM/s1600-h/IMG_3899.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418806905633024402" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4K6ywqZI/AAAAAAAAAnY/NY3x_gNASvM/s200/IMG_3899.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4LZn5U5I/AAAAAAAAAng/DVKQXyFHHYo/s1600-h/IMG_3901.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418806913908954002" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4LZn5U5I/AAAAAAAAAng/DVKQXyFHHYo/s200/IMG_3901.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mack was on the team and he really wanted to go and see everyone. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4LzAHpDI/AAAAAAAAAno/OlsB6EjPRXE/s1600-h/IMG_3905.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418806920721441842" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4LzAHpDI/AAAAAAAAAno/OlsB6EjPRXE/s200/IMG_3905.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4Me8vjZI/AAAAAAAAAnw/wbII8h6VTOY/s1600-h/IMG_3906.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418806932518440338" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4Me8vjZI/AAAAAAAAAnw/wbII8h6VTOY/s200/IMG_3906.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4MhgTw9I/AAAAAAAAAn4/HXuv0dHzSfI/s1600-h/IMG_3907.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418806933204485074" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN4MhgTw9I/AAAAAAAAAn4/HXuv0dHzSfI/s200/IMG_3907.JPG" border="0" /></a>We had a good time and Kathleen enjoyed her 1st basketball game :) Then, that Sunday was our Christmas dinner at church. Boy, was it yummy! The play was really cute and Kathleen apparently wanted her own part cause she 'talked' for the last half of it...it was cute! At least she wasn't crying :) She did so well! then, it was time for her 1st experience with Santa! I got a few pic but none that were that great. the 1st one, you can tell she is pulling his beard(I was so afraid she was going to pull it off!)<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzOBO39oLfI/AAAAAAAAAqg/yaiSb8icGpo/s1600-h/IMG_3921.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418816869197426162" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzOBO39oLfI/AAAAAAAAAqg/yaiSb8icGpo/s200/IMG_3921.JPG" border="0" /></a> She didn't cry at all and she was so cute!

It was also Kathleen's 5 month birthday! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN5lSoGLmI/AAAAAAAAAoI/xAXN8hykmRQ/s1600-h/IMG_3930.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418808458218974818" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN5lSoGLmI/AAAAAAAAAoI/xAXN8hykmRQ/s200/IMG_3930.JPG" border="0" /></a>It was a great day-other than having a nail in the side wall of my tire and having to buy a new one :P Itook off half the day and just spent the afternoon with Kathleen which was a wonderful gift in itself. She and Mack gave me a charm for my Pandora bracelet with Kathleen's birthstone on it....beautiful!!! Mack and went to Texas Roadhouse. the food was awesome-can't say the service really was, but it didn't ruin my time :) </div><div><br />On that Friday night, I planned to take Kathleen to see Santa and do a few things in town. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN5lt7DcZI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/dgqqNmPXLEw/s1600-h/IMG_3934.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418808465546244498" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN5lt7DcZI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/dgqqNmPXLEw/s200/IMG_3934.JPG" border="0" /></a>So, my friends wanted to go out to eat for my birthday and Jenn want<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN5mWNpDwI/AAAAAAAAAog/1N8eVe-O4Z8/s1600-h/IMG_3936.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418808476361625346" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN5mWNpDwI/AAAAAAAAAog/1N8eVe-O4Z8/s200/IMG_3936.JPG" border="0" /></a>ed to take Addison to see Santa as well. so we all met in florence at the mall and saw Santa Clause. Kathleen was so funny. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8fxY0l1I/AAAAAAAAAoo/fXkiENzGBnQ/s1600-h/IMG_3937.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418811661932074834" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8fxY0l1I/AAAAAAAAAoo/fXkiENzGBnQ/s200/IMG_3937.JPG" border="0" /></a>she just looked up at him and pulled his beard and was just so chilled out. I don't think she really cares too much who is holding her as long as SOMEONE is :) My camera wasn't quick enough to get some very good shots of her but oh well. It was so fun! then me, Kat, Jenn, Addison, molly and Cecilia went to eat at Texas Roadhouse again! It was delicious again! Kathleen fell asleep and Addison kept us entertained:) Well, Kathleen was asleep until my WONDERFUL friends told the waitress it was my birthday. I didn't even know it til they came up with a stinkin saddle and about 5 people. They make you get up on the saddle and then tell everyone it's your birthday and they even told how old I was!!! come on! then everyone in the restaurant yells 'yee doggie'! sooooooo embarassing! Jenn has some pics of me on there... will have to get those later :) </div><div><br />That Saturday, the 19th was my Mom's birthday. My older sister, Stacy and her husband, Matt and my nephew, Will all arrived from North Carolina. We all gathered at Momma and Daddy's to eat for our birthdays. we had a great time as always! that night, Mack and I went home and put the finishing touches on Christmas dinner for the next day. </div><div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8gA9N81I/AAAAAAAAAow/Mn4vMIdfyHU/s1600-h/IMG_3942.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418811666111263570" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8gA9N81I/AAAAAAAAAow/Mn4vMIdfyHU/s200/IMG_3942.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8gsmvcsI/AAAAAAAAAo4/cxcL1n2iP88/s1600-h/IMG_3944.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418811677828149954" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8gsmvcsI/AAAAAAAAAo4/cxcL1n2iP88/s200/IMG_3944.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8hXWfceI/AAAAAAAAApI/i_HpEoWU4jc/s1600-h/IMG_3967.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418811689302716898" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8hXWfceI/AAAAAAAAApI/i_HpEoWU4jc/s200/IMG_3967.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8hHDHvfI/AAAAAAAAApA/oM_JijeNxpk/s1600-h/IMG_3960.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418811684926504434" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN8hHDHvfI/AAAAAAAAApA/oM_JijeNxpk/s200/IMG_3960.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>So, on Sunday, we had Kathleen baptised.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-nc9TkDI/AAAAAAAAAqA/P4H1hpXdP-Q/s1600-h/IMG_3987.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418813992910164018" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-nc9TkDI/AAAAAAAAAqA/P4H1hpXdP-Q/s200/IMG_3987.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN9eQCvaGI/AAAAAAAAApQ/mMg99oOVbX4/s1600-h/IMG_3973.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418812735312848994" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN9eQCvaGI/AAAAAAAAApQ/mMg99oOVbX4/s200/IMG_3973.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN9fPZdcII/AAAAAAAAApg/HfQSYznorao/s1600-h/IMG_3971.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418812752319574146" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN9fPZdcII/AAAAAAAAApg/HfQSYznorao/s200/IMG_3971.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-nDMZQRI/AAAAAAAAAp4/U-rNY539rGs/s1600-h/IMG_3983.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418813985994129682" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-nDMZQRI/AAAAAAAAAp4/U-rNY539rGs/s200/IMG_3983.JPG" border="0" /></a>What a wonderful and blessed day it was!!!!!

We got up there and she started spitting and then barely fussed for a second and then went right to sleep!! She was just an angel! didn't even cry when the water hit her!! And she looked beautiful. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-nhCAiUI/AAAAAAAAAqI/tNKMLPxjPBA/s1600-h/IMG_3993.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418813994003630402" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-nhCAiUI/AAAAAAAAAqI/tNKMLPxjPBA/s200/IMG_3993.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-oJ8lnfI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/VHXPVwLbbhc/s1600-h/IMG_3996.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418814004986748402" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SzN-oJ8lnfI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/VHXPVwLbbhc/s200/IMG_3996.JPG" border="0" /></a>My Momma made the dress and bonnet and I couldn't be more proud for her to wear it.

We know she is so loved by them. It was just a great day. We got home and stuck casseroles in the oven, finished up the ham, put out dessert and gobbled it all up! Mack and I couldn't believe how much food we had!! then we opened presents...Mack got my name and he got me a massage-he's so good about the massage thing! I think he thinks I need it so I will relax :) haha.

We went for her 4 month check up on the 16th. She weighed 13lb. 7 oz and was 24 and 3/4 inches long!! She's a tall girl :) She looked great which was wonderful news. But, then came the shots. she had already gotten fussy cause the nurse took forever to get back in there after the doctor left-maybe she just realized where she was and what was about to happen :( So then she was mad when the nurse held her legs down and just plain flat out angry at the world when she got her shots. I'm pretty sure EVERYONE in the office knew she wasn't happy-I've never heard her scream like that. Oh it just tears me up! But, we got through it. She cried until we left the office and she just wanted everyone to know how upset she was-bless her :( </div><div>She started rolling<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw08LciUalI/AAAAAAAAAmY/la7D7RGdk7w/s1600/IMG_3683.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408044894878198354" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw08LciUalI/AAAAAAAAAmY/la7D7RGdk7w/s200/IMG_3683.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw08K2EUr3I/AAAAAAAAAmQ/In6eD0N7W5w/s1600/IMG_3678.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408044884551839602" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw08K2EUr3I/AAAAAAAAAmQ/In6eD0N7W5w/s200/IMG_3678.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw08L827qrI/AAAAAAAAAmg/evic5t6jzSI/s1600/IMG_3684.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408044903554591410" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw08L827qrI/AAAAAAAAAmg/evic5t6jzSI/s200/IMG_3684.JPG" border="0" /></a>over this past week which has been amazing to me. It was like she caught on to it and hasn't stopped since :) That, and spitting. I don't know where she got it from, but just in the last week she has started this spitting phase. It's hilarious and oh so messy at the same time! I have been tryin to catch her rolling over on video for a while with no luck. I will get it sometime...</div><br /><div></div><div>Last weekend we went to Georgia to visit Mawmaw and Granddad. We had a great time.

Then Saturday me and my best bud Jennifer went shopping in Huntsville. We met Stacy there and we had such a great time! Then that night we played a game called Loaded Question and just had a great time. Sunday morning we went to church, then Walmart and home. Ed and Rita came to get Kathleen at 11. Yes, that's right...she'll be gone til we get there on Wednesday....what was I thinking??!! I about had a mental breakdown when she left but then was fine. I sure do miss that precious face but i know she's in good hands:) My Mom and I went to the Thanksgiving dinner at church. It was delicious and we had a great time! I went and did a little shopping afterwards. I still have quite a bit to do for Christmas...</div><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw09ScFfD5I/AAAAAAAAAnA/0E6p3u_QCzE/s1600/IMG_3716.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408046114527973266" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sw09ScFfD5I/AAAAAAAAAnA/0E6p3u_QCzE/s200/IMG_3716.JPG" border="0" /></a>My Mom smocked this dress and I love it!

I was so excited to see everyone and i love family functions. and we all had a great time. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402198994801838226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh3XRsiyJI/AAAAAAAAAkI/isOg44bYrq4/s200/IMG_3534.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402199005168290738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh3X4UGS7I/AAAAAAAAAkQ/aFguIwk-ikc/s200/IMG_3511.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402196878334713346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh1cFPdXgI/AAAAAAAAAkA/ayhddoZ32Bo/s200/IMG_3508.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402196865584945970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh1bVvrWzI/AAAAAAAAAjw/tRpooEAAUXw/s200/IMG_3456.JPG" border="0" />See all the pics...BUT, there was one unexpected party favor that everyone got....a stomach bug. My niece, Mamie, had had diarheaa a couple of times but we just thought it was probably something she ate as she is starting to put everything in her mouth these days. Apparently that wasn't the case. It was a highly contagious stomach virus. Mack was sick Saturday night along with just about everyone else at the party. He hada couple of days worth of being so sick. I only got sick once on Sunday night and I was fine on Monday although i stayed out of work 2 days to make sure I wasn't contagious and didn't share this lovely creature with everyone I work with. Kathleen had diarheaa but never acted like much was bothering her. I started her on Pedialyte almost immediately to keep her from dehydrating if she did have it. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402193501720434770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SvhyXiX4WFI/AAAAAAAAAiY/3ZV9C55BfCw/s200/IMG_3441.JPG" border="0" />Mack and I walked around with bandanas on our faces for a day. I'm surprised she wasn't terrified of us. I couldn't take her to my Mom cause she had it too. It was such a mess! Everyone's recovered now but whew... Mawmaw (Mack's mom) came and she left without being sick but had a bad day after she got back home...sorry Mawmaw!! Meanwhile, before anyone came down with anything, Halloween day was so fun!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402199008450670130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh3YEirbjI/AAAAAAAAAkY/7jXWaVhrvMk/s200/IMG_3540.JPG" border="0" /> </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402199025024954514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh3ZCSS8JI/AAAAAAAAAko/HnWtJiqwdFQ/s200/IMG_3557.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>One of my great friends, Jessica, came by to meet Kathleen for the 1st time!</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402193494680665634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SvhyXIJd_iI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/Dcg6UkeEqfw/s200/IMG_3430.JPG" border="0" /> Our trip to the pumpkin patch!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402199012448682514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh3YTb4QhI/AAAAAAAAAkg/2xBDL5T5Hz0/s200/IMG_3548.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402201386150689442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh5ieKieqI/AAAAAAAAAkw/eLQbh75xOYs/s200/IMG_3570.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402201394059967362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh5i7oQe4I/AAAAAAAAAk4/9oiAUfQeanQ/s200/IMG_3574.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402201397930364066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh5jKDCDKI/AAAAAAAAAlA/Tpr37_NHLvU/s200/IMG_3579.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402202992252968290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh6_9XKXWI/AAAAAAAAAlg/aqURwqLjZpM/s200/IMG_3600.JPG" border="0" />We dressed Kathleen up in all her little outfits for the day. She was hilarious! I had just bought her a little pink leopard sleeper from Walmart. It was perfect! We ended not getting her out and we had a few visitors of our own. I had just about all the Disney princesses come by....they were so precious! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402201403552547826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh5je_dw_I/AAAAAAAAAlI/IeaznXhHMc8/s200/IMG_3580.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402201406628346450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh5jqcyulI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/PB95WgATmgA/s200/IMG_3608.JPG" border="0" />My favorite pic is of Kathleen in the pumpkin.

Kathleen took it quite well :) haha. Then Mack and I decided since we had a babysitter to dress up ourselves and go to the annual Connolly Halloween party.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402202994814083378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh7AG5x4TI/AAAAAAAAAlo/xRVbJPVAjkk/s200/IMG_3613.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402202998874324066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh7AWB0PGI/AAAAAAAAAlw/PUKRanHFyX4/s200/IMG_3615.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402203002251971698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh7AinHDHI/AAAAAAAAAl4/ttgXD_KMl1g/s200/IMG_3617.JPG" border="0" />I have had a German girl costume for 3 years now and have not done anything in the past few years to be able to wear.

She was a perfect angel! she just smiled at me for a little while in her car seat and then got squirmy. she was fine til right towards the end. I left a little early (I'm pretty paranoid about lots of people and germs-I've already had some bad experiences). But, I was so glad we made it without any meltdowns :) Here is a pic of her in her pretty dress(thanks jenn!)...</div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402196861405774562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Svh1bGLSQuI/AAAAAAAAAjo/jNuhOeywYcI/s200/IMG_3666.JPG" border="0" /> <div></div><div>I have almost completed my first smocked dress.

I started to work on the 5th...probably the hardest thing to do was just walk out the door....so sad. I wasn't AS BAD as I thought I would be. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC16FTDk-I/AAAAAAAAAhY/UV0jUK0rNQQ/s1600-h/IMG_3361.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395512363048997858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC16FTDk-I/AAAAAAAAAhY/UV0jUK0rNQQ/s200/IMG_3361.JPG" border="0" /></a>Mack was gone so I spent most of the time at my Momma and Daddy's. So, reality really set in the next week because my Mom had gotten up with her and all. Momma is going to be keeping her 2 days and her new babysitter Melissa started last week. She is wonderful! I think Kathleen loves being with her. So, that has made the transition back to work much easier. </div><div></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I had her 3 months pictures made on the 12th. I was off for Columbus Day(thank you Mr. Columbus). We had a great time together and she did so well!! I think she kinda likes getting all dressed up where as before, she was not all about changing clothes a million times. That Wednesday, Mack and I went to talk to a home builder. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC15FGTwnI/AAAAAAAAAhA/Q3lX-FApZhU/s1600-h/IMG_3353.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395512345815663218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC15FGTwnI/AAAAAAAAAhA/Q3lX-FApZhU/s200/IMG_3353.JPG" border="0" /></a>We have found some plans for a house we like. Now to find out if we can afford it! :) We also wanted to know how much we could put into land in order to build this house. It was very exciting just to even be talking about it! We really want to take advantage of the low rates right now so we can more easily afford a house and some land. We are constantly looking for land but it's been hard to come by. So we will see...</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Thennn, it all went down hill from there. That Wednesday night, my throat started getting scratchy. I thought, great, just what I need. Mack was leaving the following week for work out of town. My momma and Daddy were leaving the next day to go up to my sisters and my little sister was leaving that weekend to head up there. I knew I couldn't be sick with everyone gone and be taking care of Kathleen. So, the next day I made a doctor's appointment for Friday. I felt worse as the day went on. Mack sent me to bed at 8:00 and through the night, I began to feel TERRIBLE! Friday morning came and I drug myself to the doctor. I felt like nothing short of death. They swabbed me for the flu-which by the way, Im pretty sure she grabbed some brain cells when she shoved that swab up my nose-geez. It was negative-thank goodness! Turned out to be a bad sinus/chest/ear infection. Got 2 shots and 2 scripts. I already felt better at the end of the day. Not 100%, but better. So, I was ready to take on my little girl alone and not feel like I was endangering her. I am just now feeling like my head is somewhat clear. fun stuff:P </div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC28Gt4y4I/AAAAAAAAAho/8uYDfa5aB4Y/s1600-h/IMG_3381.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395513497301339010" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC28Gt4y4I/AAAAAAAAAho/8uYDfa5aB4Y/s200/IMG_3381.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC28fV5d0I/AAAAAAAAAhw/22xhKHu3hAo/s1600-h/IMG_3380.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395513503911606082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC28fV5d0I/AAAAAAAAAhw/22xhKHu3hAo/s200/IMG_3380.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC286DMlrI/AAAAAAAAAh4/No5-eZDbxV4/s1600-h/IMG_3383.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395513511080924850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC286DMlrI/AAAAAAAAAh4/No5-eZDbxV4/s200/IMG_3383.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>That Saturday Mack had left to go to Auburn. He went to the game and sat in the cold/mist only to watch us get beat by Kentucky. seriously?!? Kathleen and I kept warm and stayed in all afternoon. I began working on my 1st shot at a pillowcase dress. I wanted to make one out of this adorable Halloween material I had found. I just finished it up last night. I think it turned out pretty cute and was really easy to make. Here is the link to the free pattern I used:<a href="http://www.sewingmamas.com/b/downloads.php?do=file&id=17">http://www.sewingmamas.com/b/downloads.php?do=file&id=17</a></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC29OYgMKI/AAAAAAAAAiA/v578IrfT9bo/s1600-h/IMG_3397.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395513516538998946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC29OYgMKI/AAAAAAAAAiA/v578IrfT9bo/s200/IMG_3397.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC29OYgMKI/AAAAAAAAAiA/v578IrfT9bo/s1600-h/IMG_3397.JPG"></a> </p><div><br /> </div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC29OYgMKI/AAAAAAAAAiA/v578IrfT9bo/s1600-h/IMG_3397.JPG"></a> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>I put her in the Bumbo seat for the 1st time that day. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC3Wr7cF-I/AAAAAAAAAiI/U1RQBNrChP0/s1600-h/IMG_3394.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395513953966888930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC3Wr7cF-I/AAAAAAAAAiI/U1RQBNrChP0/s200/IMG_3394.JPG" border="0" /></a>She loves trying to sit up. she did really well in it. and even watched some college football:) After about 10 minutes, she was crouching down in it and getting tired. We finished watching the Bama game together. I fed her and put her to bed. Sunday, we stayed in again. We slept in and just played all day. She napped alittle and I did too. I tried to rest as much as possible before I had to go back to work. I was not looking forward to the next morning, not knowing how things would work out without Daddy there. But we did fine! Sunday and Monday night she did as normal...bed at about9, up at 3:30 with bottle and then again at 6. I got up at 5:30 and got ready and then fed her at 6. The babysitter gets there about 6:30 so everything went really smoothly. THEN, Tuesday night, Miss Priss decides midnight is a great time to get up and want a bottle. Then up again at 4. So, then I just let her sleep. She did that again last night so I guess that's what we'll do until she decides something different again. She's definitely the boss :) </div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div>So, Mack is getting to come home today....yay! My friend jennifer is keeping her this afternoon while I go to my high school's volleyball game. I'm so excited about going. It is the substate game so good luck, Lady Bears!!! I'm definitely lookin forward to this weekend. It's been a loooongggg weeK! I am going to the construction class for the dress that i've smocked. I can't wait. Hopefully it will turn out great. Mack is watching Kathleen. He has missed her so much and I'm pretty sure he's looking forward to it :)<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC27-ovDeI/AAAAAAAAAhg/vTSov7rCGL8/s1600-h/IMG_3374.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395513495132245474" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC27-ovDeI/AAAAAAAAAhg/vTSov7rCGL8/s200/IMG_3374.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395512353061190994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC15gFxvVI/AAAAAAAAAhI/VOR56vMCSqs/s200/IMG_3379.JPG" border="0" /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC1597vkBI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/2Azb5dfFUCk/s1600-h/IMG_3373.JPG"></a></p><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC1597vkBI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/2Azb5dfFUCk/s1600-h/IMG_3373.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395512361072168978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC1597vkBI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/2Azb5dfFUCk/s200/IMG_3373.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC16FTDk-I/AAAAAAAAAhY/UV0jUK0rNQQ/s1600-h/IMG_3361.JPG"></a> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SuC15gFxvVI/AAAAAAAAAhI/VOR56vMCSqs/s1600-h/IMG_3379.JPG"></a> </p>amyandmackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06771633695210849967noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223079672934565645.post-29470587152783046742009-09-17T14:43:00.000-07:002009-09-23T10:11:42.777-07:002 months old!<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SrmIUyGRqEI/AAAAAAAAAfY/5FlpcMg1mNU/s1600-h/IMG_3248.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384484720124995650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SrmIUyGRqEI/AAAAAAAAAfY/5FlpcMg1mNU/s200/IMG_3248.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SrpTxrFEGLI/AAAAAAAAAgw/4FIZxqAVz-g/s1600-h/IMG_3252.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384708417317509298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SrpTxrFEGLI/AAAAAAAAAgw/4FIZxqAVz-g/s200/IMG_3252.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SrmIVUQU69I/AAAAAAAAAfg/WsYDFVtfA2s/s1600-h/IMG_3251.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384484729293958098" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SrmIVUQU69I/AAAAAAAAAfg/WsYDFVtfA2s/s200/IMG_3251.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div> </div><div>Once again, I can't believe it!

We then took a Sunday afternoon drive to look at some land I had found that's for sale - it's a no go, but I sure do love Sunday drives :) Sunday afternoon, my family came over to our house for dinner.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_HNmT3WkI/AAAAAAAAAbY/JahqUYcZBmM/s1600-h/IMG_3012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377235516539755074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_HNmT3WkI/AAAAAAAAAbY/JahqUYcZBmM/s200/IMG_3012.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is the first time I've had everyone over - <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_HOIrfKtI/AAAAAAAAAbg/5SxlrDn6Qbc/s1600-h/IMG_3016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377235525765638866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_HOIrfKtI/AAAAAAAAAbg/5SxlrDn6Qbc/s200/IMG_3016.JPG" border="0" /></a>I'm just now feeling organized enough to cook for more than 2 people :) <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_J5fmYu6I/AAAAAAAAAb4/fgZsB2Y-wpE/s1600-h/IMG_3036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377238469675891618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_J5fmYu6I/AAAAAAAAAb4/fgZsB2Y-wpE/s200/IMG_3036.JPG" border="0" /></a>We had grilled pork chops and chicken, grilled <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_LlsbmY_I/AAAAAAAAAco/6rEIVZVPn6k/s1600-h/IMG_3054.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377240328546182130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_LlsbmY_I/AAAAAAAAAco/6rEIVZVPn6k/s200/IMG_3054.JPG" border="0" /></a>veggie skewers, a<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_J5weIqvI/AAAAAAAAAcA/8DIWVU4A3sM/s1600-h/IMG_3037.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377238474204687090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_J5weIqvI/AAAAAAAAAcA/8DIWVU4A3sM/s200/IMG_3037.JPG" border="0" /></a>nd macaroni <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_J64wvAiI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/d_Q2qZSQpmc/s1600-h/IMG_3045.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377238493610050082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 199px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_J64wvAiI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/d_Q2qZSQpmc/s200/IMG_3045.JPG" border="0" /></a>casserole.

They all had a fit over her :) They said she looks like me and I can't really argue. But, I see Mack in her all the time-mostly when she's fussing...j/k :)<br /></div><div>Friday we headed to Adairsville. We left early and surprised Ed and Rita. Saturday the girls went shopping and <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_LmIDe2yI/AAAAAAAAAcw/dpzPqdFo9V8/s1600-h/IMG_3063.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377240335961217826" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_LmIDe2yI/AAAAAAAAAcw/dpzPqdFo9V8/s200/IMG_3063.JPG" border="0" /></a>Ed and Mack went to pick up his new wood splitter-his new toy that will hopefully make us some money. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_LlP74K5I/AAAAAAAAAcg/WKmBhy7HEco/s1600-h/IMG_3057.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377240320896936850" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_LlP74K5I/AAAAAAAAAcg/WKmBhy7HEco/s200/IMG_3057.JPG" border="0" /></a>That afternoon, a couple of Mack's friends c<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P2oYuDvI/AAAAAAAAAdI/fPLiUaNz1mA/s1600-h/IMG_3067.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377245017564647154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P2oYuDvI/AAAAAAAAAdI/fPLiUaNz1mA/s200/IMG_3067.JPG" border="0" /></a>ame over for dinner. Ed and Rita cooked for everyone and we had a great time.

I almost felt bad for not getting up with her, but I know Rita loved every second of it. We had a great time. Sunday we all went to church. Then back for lunch. Mack and Ed loaded up the wood splitter while we just hung around and I got our stuff loaded up and ready to go. I always hate to leave:( We had a good trip home. Kathleen is a pretty good traveler. As long as she's fed she's happy...kinda like me :)</div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3_EKUTI/AAAAAAAAAdg/GtXflbP8gl4/s1600-h/fam.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377245040832303410" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 152px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3_EKUTI/AAAAAAAAAdg/GtXflbP8gl4/s200/fam.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3m8Ab0I/AAAAAAAAAdY/m6evePLC6xg/s1600-h/IMG_3074.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377245034355650370" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3m8Ab0I/AAAAAAAAAdY/m6evePLC6xg/s200/IMG_3074.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3O0M0mI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/tb4kbkW8rw4/s1600-h/IMG_3081.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377245027880456802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3O0M0mI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/tb4kbkW8rw4/s200/IMG_3081.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div><atomicelement id="ms__id149"><atomicelement id="ms__id70"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sp_P3m8Ab0I/AAAAAAAAAdY/m6evePLC6xg/s1600-h/IMG_3074.JPG"></a></atomicelement></atomicelement></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SqB5P8AKNyI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/hv-sI7Rhhfo/s1600-h/IMG_3099.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377431269792167714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SqB5P8AKNyI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/hv-sI7Rhhfo/s200/IMG_3099.JPG" border="0" /></a>Yesterday I just HAD to put these little shoes on her..so cute!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div>Kathleen is getting such a cute little personality to her. this morning I woke up and she was just so happy.

She's such a gift to us. What a miracle! I thank God every day for her. Here is a little of what has been going on...</div><br /><div></div><div>Kathleen has been much happier since her 2 week appointment. Nursing her was quite stressful on me. Kathleen did fine at it but it was really hard because it consumed the day...she would eat for like an hour and be hungry about 20 minutes later. Something wasn't right. So, apparently she was getting no calories from me. She wasn't dehydrated but had gained no weight. I felt terrible! So we switched to formula and she is doing wonderful. Even getting some chubby little cheeks on her. :) Her legs are still long and skinny...they look like her aunt Mary Helen's who has bean poles for legs :) <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370655509542711810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohmuyFJsgI/AAAAAAAAAYA/wvO8zXWluQg/s200/IMG_2760.JPG" border="0" />The past 2 weeks have been alot of fun too because Stacy and Will have been in town. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370655521451910178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohmvechpCI/AAAAAAAAAYI/XUzGGcl0tuA/s200/IMG_2737.JPG" border="0" />It feels like they just got here too!

She graduated from Auburn this past Monday and we are so proud of her! So we got to see some of Mack's family and they were thrilled to see Kathleen. I didn't hold her the entire night :) everyone just loved on her. The one picture is of Bridgette passing on the Princess crown. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370658751292140898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohpreicbWI/AAAAAAAAAZY/vPV3f5gFu5M/s200/IMG_2863.JPG" border="0" />she's been the only girl on that side so she has always been Rita's princess and Rita had gotten her a little Hallmark crown a few years back.

I think it's so cool that Kathleen has a GREATgrandmother. Mine weren't around when I was born and I think it's very special. She also has a great grandad who is also very proud of her. </div><br /><div></div><div>Today we made it to church for the 2nd time. She went for the 1st time 2 weeks ago and she was a perfect angel both times. She slept right through it(along with a few others I'm sure...hehe) Here is a pic of her the 1st time...pretty girl....<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370655522885701890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohmvjyXkQI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/ja2AJc-a6PQ/s200/IMG_2799.JPG" border="0" /></div><div></div><br /><div>I love this pic of her smiling. She does it as she's falling asleep...Probably gas I'm sure but she's so stinkin cute! :)<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370657063933887730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohoJQo4xPI/AAAAAAAAAYg/Zga2poPTHyg/s200/IMG_2825.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><div></div><div></div><div>Mack is a wonderful Daddy. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370655504137791122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Sohmud8hJpI/AAAAAAAAAX4/lcNR0RMpGiU/s200/IMG_2797.JPG" border="0" />She already has him wrapped around her little finger and it's precious. He loves taking care of her and has done everything a couple of nights so i could get a little sleep. He's soooo good with her and it makes me so happy to see them together...they are 2 of my favorite people in case you can't tell. Mack sent me flowers the other day just to thank me for all I do - which he doesn't have to do because I love every minute of it.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370663831039561762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohuTKEm0CI/AAAAAAAAAaY/eNDfGSsyv8A/s200/IMG_2947.JPG" border="0" /> But it was so sweet. then he came home from work and told me he was going to do everything and for me to just relax and then get some sleep that night. So he fed her at her 9:00 and then when she woke up at 12:30, I heard 'can you get her this time'...Oh my :) but he got up at 4:00 to feed her again.. I think it's kinda funny now but it wasn't really at the time. He did have to go to work the next morning but he gave it a try anyways. He has since redeemed himself and has fed her though the night. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370661559448322450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohsO7vDQZI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/2YNMS9M4hDE/s200/IMG_2901.JPG" border="0" />I love him :) oh yes, and Kathleen does a wonderful job at night. We usually have to get up with her at about 12, 3, and 6. so she sleeps around 3-4 hours at a time which I think is pretty good. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370661540806697778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohsN2SiozI/AAAAAAAAAZo/eftkUVpYPpU/s200/IMG_2897.JPG" border="0" />So, I bragged about her too much yesterday and she WOULD NOT go to sleep this morning after her 3 o'clock. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370661549648428722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohsOXOkvrI/AAAAAAAAAZw/UmxQ_Q8KO1U/s200/IMG_2900.JPG" border="0" />She wasn't crying or anything, but she is fussy if she's awake and lays down for more than 20 minutes. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370663821799343698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohuSnpkRlI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/ltzB1bFmDMc/s200/IMG_2929.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370661576376066994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohsP6y8I7I/AAAAAAAAAaI/yBgmygKNu5k/s200/IMG_2918.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370661565916491730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohsPT1Lr9I/AAAAAAAAAaA/xm6wmqQnEmk/s200/IMG_2913.JPG" border="0" />So I rocked her for a while...she finally fell asleep for just a little bit before her next bottle and then we left for church. Here's a pic from today...I just love that little outfit that her Nana got her....<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370663837367542674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SohuThpUI5I/AAAAAAAAAag/JZGSq_9bKvw/s200/IMG_2967.JPG" border="0" /></div><div></div><div>I have not been very good at blogging and will try to do better. This is a very random one but just wanted to do a little 'catch up'.

She was well worth the wait! Mack and I had drove to Helen Keller Hospital and gotten there at midnight Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. We <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu876vYTfI/AAAAAAAAAVA/cTki03TnaLE/s1600-h/IMG_2404.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362587518880992754" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu876vYTfI/AAAAAAAAAVA/cTki03TnaLE/s200/IMG_2404.JPG" border="0" /></a>had a great trip over. I was a little nervous but not really as bad as<em> </em>I thought I would be. Mack was making me laugh...he said the only thing he didn't like about the whole induction ordeal was that he really wanted to ride through town with flashers on going like 90 mph :) I told him I kinda wantedto myself.hah. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu88aMP-aI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/OPujQ0GFtS8/s1600-h/IMG_2428.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362587527323580834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu88aMP-aI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/OPujQ0GFtS8/s200/IMG_2428.JPG" border="0" /></a>So we got there and the nurse began my fluids, checked to see how far along I was and gave me a pill to start me thinning out. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_85EgsZI/AAAAAAAAAWo/8JOrD3LYANI/s1600-h/IMG_2512.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362590834147504530" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_85EgsZI/AAAAAAAAAWo/8JOrD3LYANI/s200/IMG_2512.JPG" border="0" /></a>I was pretty surprised to find out I was still at the stage I was the week before at my appointment. So, I actually slept pretty well and woke up to the nurse starting my petocin (sp?) at 6:30 to get my contractions going. At 9:30, the doctor came in to break my water. I began to feel some regular contractions at about 11:<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu88mYFl6I/AAAAAAAAAVY/mO3Zm9tFDYc/s1600-h/DH000016.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362587530594457506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu88mYFl6I/AAAAAAAAAVY/mO3Zm9tFDYc/s200/DH000016.jpg" border="0" /></a>30 and got my epidural at about 12:30. When the nurse checked me at 2:30, I was still at 2 cm!!! OMG, I thought, 'yep, I'm gonna be here all night'. I was not mentally prepared for a long labor. I thought since I was already dialated a little bit, it wouldn't be too bad. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu88MOQXsI/AAAAAAAAAVI/mguifge3qSk/s1600-h/IMG_2407.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362587523573898946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu88MOQXsI/AAAAAAAAAVI/mguifge3qSk/s200/IMG_2407.JPG" border="0" /></a>It was quite frustrating! Thankfully, we had lots of people in and out to visit, so that helped pass the time. I believe at about 4:30, I was at 4, 6:00 I was at6 cm.. and whenthe doctor came in at 8:30, I was an 8! hallelujah!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_7T1bkGI/AAAAAAAAAWI/cYF0TuI7WZo/s1600-h/IMG_2435.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362590806972272738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_7T1bkGI/AAAAAAAAAWI/cYF0TuI7WZo/s200/IMG_2435.JPG" border="0" /></a>We were getting there. At 10:30, I began pushing. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_7kKqOAI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/o_8k7roPtT8/s1600-h/IMG_2439.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362590811356280834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_7kKqOAI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/o_8k7roPtT8/s200/IMG_2439.JPG" border="0" /></a>I only pushed about 4-5 times and miss Kathleen arrived at 11 on the dot!! I was beginning to think her birthday was going to be the 16th and not the 15TH! It was an amazing experience and really it didn't seem like I laid there as long as I did. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_75e7CTI/AAAAAAAAAWY/9liZpQ3N5Ys/s1600-h/IMG_2444.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362590817078413618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/Smu_75e7CTI/AAAAAAAAAWY/9liZpQ3N5Ys/s200/IMG_2444.JPG" border="0" /></a>She was absolutely beautiful! I start to cry just thinking about how awesome it was to bring such an angel into this world!!

We had alot of visitors and I loved everyone getting to meet her. She did great and we kept her in the room all day and put her in the nursery at night to get a little rest. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvBpP6CMbI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/bsjpakLCtt8/s1600-h/IMG_2599.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362592695703450034" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvBpP6CMbI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/bsjpakLCtt8/s200/IMG_2599.JPG" border="0" /></a>So, Friday was a good day, til they came in and told us she was a little jaundice and they needed to take her and keep her under the lamp and I would come feed her every 2 hours. They said frequnetly feeding them would help flush the bilirubin out. We were supposed to go home Saturday and were very hopeful her level would have dropped enough to go home. So, I got up Saturday morning all giddy and got ready only to find out her level had actually gone up from 11 to 11.5 and we would have to stat til Sunday. I was completely bummed and so ready to get our little girl home. But, knew that this was better for her so no worries. So Sunday morning it had gone down to 8.7...yay!!! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvBoQHMAII/AAAAAAAAAXA/Y5JXzq3Uc_Q/s1600-h/IMG_2542.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362592678578749570" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvBoQHMAII/AAAAAAAAAXA/Y5JXzq3Uc_Q/s200/IMG_2542.JPG" border="0" /></a>We were going home!! So we were discharged and gathered all our stuff up, had her pic made (which you can check out at helenkeller.com, go to keller babies...our password is 2442003756 and 1st 4 letters of moncus..monc) and made that nerve-wrecking 1st ride home! She did great once we started riding. We got home and later my parents brought a ham over and Ed and Rita came over to eat. It was fun. Mary Helen and the kids visited that night too. She did pretty good the 1st night here, getting up about every 2-3 hours. . Mack stayed home til Wednesday and has already shown what a wonderful Daddy he is! I knew he'd be great but he's really blown me away! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvD-JcDk1I/AAAAAAAAAXY/C9mSCio2LpE/s1600-h/IMG_2590.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362595253767607122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvD-JcDk1I/AAAAAAAAAXY/C9mSCio2LpE/s200/IMG_2590.JPG" border="0" /></a>We had a great time all being together. Also, Tuesday, we went for our follow-up with the pediatrician...everthing was fine! She had gained an ounce since discharge which was right on track. My Momma came over Wednesday about lunch and let me get a shower.....that on itself is such a great help! She's been really awesome and helpful!Thursday was the roughest day yet. I felt like Kathleen was feeding CONSTANTLY...never getting satisfied. I was totally frustrated. I called the lactation nurse and she said she might have abelly ache and to try some mylicon drops. I think they've helped. Yesterday (friday) was much better. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvD-nVH7pI/AAAAAAAAAXg/ekI7RXDOlyA/s1600-h/IMG_2591.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362595261791596178" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvD-nVH7pI/AAAAAAAAAXg/ekI7RXDOlyA/s200/IMG_2591.JPG" border="0" /></a>She has been sleeping pretty well at night. Last night and today have been the best yet. I think we're finally figuring each other out :) Mack's Aunt Donna and Uncle Larry and Bridgette came to visit this morning and then his Grandmother - who would be Kathleen's great-mother, and his 2 aunts came this afternoonn. It was a wonderful day and Kathleen was such a sweet girl!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvD-x-pEqI/AAAAAAAAAXo/HDYKQyQmArg/s1600-h/100_2037.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362595264650089122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SmvD-x-pEqI/AAAAAAAAAXo/HDYKQyQmArg/s200/100_2037.JPG" border="0" /></a> ( I will post some pics of the visit soon...)</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div>Soooo, being a Mommy is probably the most fun thing I have EVER done! Despite some of the frustrations of just figuring out what Kathleen needs and somewhat getting into a schedule (do you ever get to that point?!?), it's been so awesome! and I can't tell you how awesome Mack is...REALLY! She has made us both so happy and she is loved more than she knows right now!!!

I enjoyed last week because Mack got to rub on my shoulders for a while...I personally thought this should just be an everyday thing :) Then we toured the facilities at the hospital and got familiar with where to go. That was the best class so far. Last night was about handling the baby. I don't know if it's making me more nervous knowing what to expect or if it's going to help me when the time comes. I imagine things will just go as they need to, prepared or not. I feel pretty prepared I guess. At my doctor's visit Tuesday, I was dialated 1 cm. I know I can be that way for a while, but it just made me so nervous for some reason!! But, we do have the nursery somewhat done...there is a crib for her to sleep in anyways! Mary and I put the bedding on it Thursday. There are still some things to hang and some here and there things to arrange, but for the most part, it is ready for Kathleen! Here are a few pics so far....For some reason they didn't turn out very clear, but I will post some more when everything is finished. </div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdX-d6yyI/AAAAAAAAASQ/-w47bYpjAHc/s1600-h/IMG_2327.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351645661198207778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdX-d6yyI/AAAAAAAAASQ/-w47bYpjAHc/s320/IMG_2327.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdYGx_P9I/AAAAAAAAASY/502Yl1IxlrE/s1600-h/IMG_2328.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351645663429869522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdYGx_P9I/AAAAAAAAASY/502Yl1IxlrE/s320/IMG_2328.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdYzBVADI/AAAAAAAAASo/FBMFaZ1v1VM/s1600-h/IMG_2330.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351645675305369650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdYzBVADI/AAAAAAAAASo/FBMFaZ1v1VM/s320/IMG_2330.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdYqryHhI/AAAAAAAAASg/PHCPoiV8HqQ/s1600-h/IMG_2329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351645673067519506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTdYqryHhI/AAAAAAAAASg/PHCPoiV8HqQ/s320/IMG_2329.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThAbqJ_pI/AAAAAAAAASw/Tck6lSqFmRE/s1600-h/IMG_2331.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351649654763814546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThAbqJ_pI/AAAAAAAAASw/Tck6lSqFmRE/s320/IMG_2331.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I have been washing baby clothes, blankets, socks, bibs, etc. in my 'spare' time. ( which is not very much, btw). I have loved going through all the cute things she has. Mercy at all her clothes!! They're all so precious and given to her by some pretty special people that I can't wait for her to meet :) </div><br /><div></div><div>The house is pretty much put up. Our computer/sewing room is still a mess and there's plenty of things that need to be hung and decorating to do, but all in all, it feels quite homey. The doggies love their big back yard. They can run and play all day and don't even try to get out when we open the gate. We love it too. What's that song 'Love grows best in little places' or something like that...anyways, that about sums it up and I think it's very true :)</div><br /><div></div><div>Also, Ed threw Rita a surprise 50th birthday party on June 13th at their house in Adairsville. It was a blast! And she was so surprised!! Her friend Kathy and I took her to this huge antique thing in Atlanta. It worked out perfect...we got back to Kathy's after a few stalls on the way back. Everyone was supposed to be at their house at 5:30 and that's what time we left Kathy's. We got stopped by the train which helped a little too. I was so nervous the whole day. I worried that my big mouth would say something and I didn't want to get her home early and didn't know if she would be willing to stay gone that long. But it was great and she was sooo funny when we pulled up. She kept saying 'why are all these people at my house?' and she wouldn't even get out of the car for the longest! hilarious. The party was actually early for her birthday since I would be just about to pop closer to her actual birthday, Ed went ahead and had one. It was too much fun! </div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThAhL7bPI/AAAAAAAAAS4/wTRzKNXWUvs/s1600-h/IMG_2228.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351649656247643378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 256px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThAhL7bPI/AAAAAAAAAS4/wTRzKNXWUvs/s320/IMG_2228.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThA_2ihTI/AAAAAAAAATA/gQYb_ur7TQ4/s1600-h/IMG_2230.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351649664479429938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 219px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 173px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThA_2ihTI/AAAAAAAAATA/gQYb_ur7TQ4/s320/IMG_2230.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThBqr55lI/AAAAAAAAATQ/ns5JdGQjU2E/s1600-h/IMG_2252.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351649675977549394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 241px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThBqr55lI/AAAAAAAAATQ/ns5JdGQjU2E/s320/IMG_2252.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThBTNop4I/AAAAAAAAATI/trs64xgvMvM/s1600-h/IMG_2246.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351649669676574594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 230px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 179px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkThBTNop4I/AAAAAAAAATI/trs64xgvMvM/s320/IMG_2246.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkKxg3BdI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/nF-lH__ZwH0/s1600-h/IMG_2297.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351653130963977682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkKxg3BdI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/nF-lH__ZwH0/s200/IMG_2297.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkKjw-PyI/AAAAAAAAAUI/9QGdcSuU-Hs/s1600-h/IMG_2290.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351653127273463586" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkKjw-PyI/AAAAAAAAAUI/9QGdcSuU-Hs/s200/IMG_2290.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTichoZm1I/AAAAAAAAATw/7dAp4_RItpk/s1600-h/IMG_2264.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351651236915026770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 274px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 182px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTichoZm1I/AAAAAAAAATw/7dAp4_RItpk/s320/IMG_2264.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTib1oeriI/AAAAAAAAATg/CLkQISdeAdA/s1600-h/IMG_2276.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351651225104199202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 228px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 176px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTib1oeriI/AAAAAAAAATg/CLkQISdeAdA/s320/IMG_2276.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTicDZrxuI/AAAAAAAAATo/9z9FmuU3jdI/s1600-h/IMG_2260.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351651228800239330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 177px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTicDZrxuI/AAAAAAAAATo/9z9FmuU3jdI/s320/IMG_2260.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTic5kWuBI/AAAAAAAAAT4/TGxLqcQjxcw/s1600-h/IMG_2278.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351651243340511250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 242px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 191px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTic5kWuBI/AAAAAAAAAT4/TGxLqcQjxcw/s320/IMG_2278.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkKKlKPOI/AAAAAAAAAUA/1en4JRHL7Og/s1600-h/IMG_2273.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351653120513031394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkKKlKPOI/AAAAAAAAAUA/1en4JRHL7Og/s200/IMG_2273.JPG" border="0" /></a>We also had a great time on Father's day. We just went to church with Momma and Daddy, ate breakfast at Bojangles and then Mack and I headed home for BLT's we enjoyed the afternoon together (while he was putting together baby furniture - happy father's day to him!) And then that afternoon we headed to Momma and Daddy's for steaks. Delish! AND homemade ice cream which turned out so good and what I have been wanting since I came across our ice cream machine when we moved. yummy! It was a great Father's Day and I love my Daddy and I know Mack will be a great Daddy too! </div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkLWo9hYI/AAAAAAAAAUY/_Pxl96CUjaU/s1600-h/IMG_2314.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351653140930069890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkLWo9hYI/AAAAAAAAAUY/_Pxl96CUjaU/s200/IMG_2314.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkLrwk5MI/AAAAAAAAAUg/D5tG3oXvQbw/s1600-h/IMG_2315.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351653146599154882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTkLrwk5MI/AAAAAAAAAUg/D5tG3oXvQbw/s200/IMG_2315.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTlHX6sn9I/AAAAAAAAAUw/3Cxf_qZ-M3M/s1600-h/IMG_2325.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351654172065046482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTlHX6sn9I/AAAAAAAAAUw/3Cxf_qZ-M3M/s200/IMG_2325.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTlHBzcbAI/AAAAAAAAAUo/EY0VGkokZiM/s1600-h/IMG_2316.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351654166129044482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MtdH6-BOlRc/SkTlHBzcbAI/AAAAAAAAAUo/EY0VGkokZiM/s200/IMG_2316.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>amyandmackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06771633695210849967noreply@blogger.com1
