Telling Daddy

Saturday - April 11, 2009
Today I told Daddy and Connie, Aunt Babs and Hollye.
Daddy & Connie had planned to come for the day to shop and pick up the vacuum I had scored for them at a yard sale. Little did they know they would be getting news about Baby L upon their arrival. Ashley (Connie's daughter) was with them. She had asked them in the car on the way over when I was going to have a baby. Connie said she thought it would be soon, but she never dreamed she would get the news today! I made an Easter basket full of baby items. A bib, 2 pacifiers, Johnson & Johnson mini baby items, a stuffed lamb and mini Baby Ruth's that I had wrapped "L" around so it read "Baby L". Well, it took them forever to realize what was going on. They stared at that basket for the longest time and I finally had to coach them along until they got it. They screamed, cried, hugged me and smiled from ear to ear. We had a fun day shopping and talking about babies.

I called Aunt Babs & Hollye while we were together and told them the big news. They were excited and passed the phone back and forth. Uncle Joe wanted to know what we had been doing in March. We were all laughing in shock at UJ for being so bold! Hollye was busy dying eggs with Claire and said in her best "Mean Sister" tone, "Well, we know whose eggs will win the contest from now on!" I told her that we shall just see about that in due time…I may loose my creative touch, you never know. I encouraged her to keep on striving for perfection. She and Julie give me a hard time. They love to pick on little Abby. I would not have it any other way though. I love it. I can't wait for them to love Baby L. Anyway, Babs wanted to get out the megaphone and shout it out to all of East Memphis and the surrounding areas but I calmed her down and told her to zip it up until I went to the doctor.
I am excited about all of them loving my baby.

Abby

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
