Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is so much fun. I love giving the kids little valentines with stickers and goodies. (((HUG))), I'm passing on this hug to all of my blogging buddies and all my dear friends.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy Birthday My Little Courtney!

Today my littlest angel is 5!! That's right, no more toddlers in the home anymore. She is just SOOO precious and I want her to stay little forever, but I know that can't happen and I actually love sitting and reading to her and watching her play dressup still. It's just time to realize that my little baby girl is officially not a baby.

When I look back on all 4 of our kids, I just thank God everyday that for all that we have shared. We have truly been blessed and I wish my littlest Angel the best birthday yet.

Happy Birthday Sweet Angel!!

Little Miss Adi!

Michelle and Brad had their second little blessing arrive on Monday at 4:08 pm. Adi was 7 pounds and was 19 inches long. For all the details and the wonderful pictures, please go to Val's blog (over on the right) and get the latest news on Little Miss Adi. Congratulations to Michelle, Brad and of course, Little Miss Ella. We can't wait to meet her!!!

A is on her way!

Just got word that our dear friends, Michelle and Brad are having their baby today. Michelle's water broke and so we await word that little baby A is soon arriving. Yeah, then we can finally find out what A stands for.

Can't wait!!!

I fell off the face of the earth....

So, I haven't posted for over a month. Life has been SOOOOO busy, I'm not even going to bore you with details.

The holidays were wonderful. Lots of family, friends and good times to be had by all. I love the holidays, and love them more when they are over. It is activity time. Floor hockey, soccer, drama, ballet, and race car driver. Now, for those that know me WELL, you know that I am a HUGE Nascar fan. Well, my wonderful little darling Christie Lynn is getting into racing. YEP, you heard me right. She is going to be learning, and practicing mini-sprint racing. We are still in the process of finding a good starter car for her, but once it warms up we will be heading to the track to get a feel for the road. ALL PRAYERS ARE WELCOME!

I am feverishly awaiting the call (email) announcement that my very dear friend and blogger Michelle is having her baby. WILL YOU COME OUT ALREADY? See, she used to live next door and she was prego with Ella, due on my birthday (12/17) so we paced the floor over Christmas break waiting for little one to come out. Needless to say, Ella didn't arrive until Chel was induced on the 23rd. So we are very much hoping that baby Camp #2 comes a little early (January 29th so I can win the baby poll), but also so that Chel can finally rest. Of course any mom knows that is not the case, but it sounds relaxing, doesn't it.

So, in a nutshell....I am back on blog. Awaiting the warm weather to get out to the track with Christie, watching floor hockey, soccer, and ballet. And last but certainly not least, waiting for little baby Camp to show her beautifully precious face to this wonderful world!! Until then..... chow

Happy Birthdays!!!

First, Happy Birthday to my dear cousin Mike and Mrs. Bergman. We have the wonderful pleasure of celebrating our birthdays TOGETHER!!! What an awesome day.

AND, DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........

My wonderful daughter CHRISTIE who turns 13 tomorrow. We almost shared birthdays, but no luck!!! Hope your day shines as brightly as you do.

Good Night!

My best friend closed her eyes last night,
As her head was in my hand.
The doctors said she was in pain,
And it was hard for her to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,
As I cradled her in my arms;
Were of her younger puppy years,
And Oh…..her many charms.

Today, there was no gentle nudge
With an intense “I love you gaze”,
Only a heart that’s filled with tears
Remembering our joy filled days.

But an Angel just appeared to me,
And he said, “You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
He’s installed a ‘doggy-door’”!!


Good Night, Jillie!!
