travels, visits and pics

Things have been pretty crazy round these parts lately. Ella Rae has definitely started acting like the old adage “terrible twos”. She certainly hasn’t been terrible by any means, just different. More active, busier, and she hasn’t been sleeping great. That means when she IS sleeping, I am taking some mommy time. Blogging just hasn’t been my top priority when there is always a sink full of dishes and multiple loads of laundry  to be washed and folded.

We are counting down to Baby T’s arrival. My niece or nephew is due this Saturday so we are anxiously awaiting a “My water broke” call or a “I’m being induced on this date” call. Either way, I can’t wait to be an Aunt!!!  Here is Lala at 38 1/2 weeks! Doesn’t she look AMAZING!?!

That being said, we are all getting ready to travel to Albuquerque!! Gigi and Grandaddy leave on Thursday and will stay almost 3 weeks. It will be Gigi’s longest time away from Ella Rae AND her longest time away from home ever since being married!! Baby T sure is loved to get it’s Gigi for so long! Ella Rae and I leave 2 weeks from today to join Gigi and Granddaddy in Albuquerque. Unfortunately, Kelly will not be joining us on this trip. He has to stay home to work and take care of Kiya. I am so excited to get to see my sister, brother in law and new baby niece/nephew soon!

I also just learned that O’ma and Uncle Ryan are coming down this weekend! I’m sure we will get to visit with them some, too! Speaking of O’ma, here is Ella Rae modeling a little outfit from her. It is so cute and perfect for spring!

    Ugh - maybe it's something in the air causing our kids not to sleep?? ;) I definitely had a whole list of stuff to do today and decided to spend the day napping when Nathan did and staying in my pajamas. YAY YAY YAY for a new niece or nephew! And a trip to Albuquerque! I do hope I get to meet you while you are here. :)

FIGHT FOR PREEMIES

Image
Today, November 17, is Prematurity Awareness Day! This cause is near and dear to my heart because our sweet Ella Rae was born 6 weeks premature. We were definitely on the upper side of the 'premature spectrum' so to speak, as many babies are born waaay earlier. We did, however, spend 14 days in the NICU after Ella's birth. It was a whirlwind to say the least. Did you know that 1 out of 8 babies are born premature? And the amount of premature births has risen 30% since 1981. That means too many babies are coming early and too many parents have to endure the unknown of their child being born prematurely. Today is a day to fight for those babies and families. In honor of Premature Awareness Day, I thought I would share some pictures of Ella Rae's Birth. The very first photo ever taken of Ella Rae. Kelly took this picture through the door when they were evaluating Ella right after she came out. A few minutes later they allowed Kelly in the room. Of course that left me alone...

What's YOUR song?

Today I am joining Goodnight Moon's link up party where we share a song. It's no secret that we (Ella Rae and I) are fans of Justin Bieber and I absolutely love this song of his. He is only 17, but he's got a wonderful heart and donates a lot of money and time to many different charities and organizations. We are definitely fans! And a sweet picture of my girl, just for fun!! Happy Thursday Everyone!

CHRISTmas

10 more days till CHRISTmas! "It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas...means a little bit more." I shared this quote on facebook today and wanted to share it with blogger world, as well. Let's all remember the importance of CHRISTmas this holiday season. It's not about the presents. It's not about the tree and decorations. It's not about the cookies, food, meals. It is about Family. It is about Peace. It is about Love. But most importantly, It is about Jesus . It is about Mary and Joesph. It is about the Angels, the Wise Men, the Shepherds It is about the miracle of Jesus' birth. It is about Luke 2: 1-38 ******************************************************** And in other news.... (can you see the snotty nose) (and tired eyes?) Ella Rae has not been feeling well this weekend and week. S...
