Lucky # 7

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband of seven years! My prayer for us is that we continue to grow in our love for Christ and each other in the years to come. Thanks for stickin' with me!

Lil Trooper

Our day began at 4:00 am to prepare for a loooong morning at South Georgia Medical Center. Little Tan Man was scheduled to have tubes in due to his reoccurring ear infections. Poor thing was NOT a happy camper. We woke him up before he was ready. Then, rejected his every plea for milk (no food or drink after midnight) which is the very first thing he wants each morning. Not off to a great start. He hated the hospital bracelet and dispised the blood pressure cuffs.

But then, a very nice nurse gave us a little 'happy' medicine.

which made us a little sleepy and... loopy.

When all was said and done, he received two popsicles, a sticker and big tight hug n kiss from Mommy and Daddy. Completely back to his normal, high energy self by the end of the day :-) Way to go, tough guy!

New Blogpage and The Countdown

A big THANK YOU to Uniquely Yours by Rachel for saving me hours of trying to redesign my own blog page! If you're at all like me and don't have the time or skills to tackle such a project I would highly recommend a blog makeover by Rachel. She's cheap and easy. (in a good way)

What's NOT cheap and easy? My full on diet and fake tan that began Friday. I already cheated and ate fried okra w/ mac n cheese twice this weekend. Monday's are always the best day to start a real diet though, right? Reason for the diet and fake tan? (other than the obvious of course) ... The wedding! Less than two months away.

Favorite Passtime

I had the honor of painting some fun things for the new arrival of baby Jake! The bedding is precious so I can't take credit for the design, but had a great time working on these. Thanks for trusting me, K.C.W.. Can't wait to meet that lil munchkin!

This one I just finished for the store. Something sweet since I don't have many girlie orders. Maybe I'll replicate it if I ever have a little princess of my own:-) {no jumping to conclusions}

Totally Wicked V-day

Those of you who know my husband know that's he's not the best secret keeper. After seven years of marriage, he's also not the greatest when it comes to romance either. Every now and then he really tries and it's so wonderful. I think it makes times like this even more special when he goes to great lengths to pull it off.

All to my surprise, this weekend Jon arranged tickets (and awesome seats I might add) to the Broadway tour of Wicked!!! Just the two of us; in Tampa; no baby; fabulous food; and a musical. What more could a girl want?

Cute and clever storyline that I would recommend to anyone of any age. Two thumbs up! (the show and husband)

Albuterol

This is my son :-)

This is my son on drugs.

My sweet angel morphed into Satin's spawn this weekend. Breathing treatments prescribed a few days prior by a doctor who said (verbatim), "He could have a little trouble falling asleep."

...uh?....what?!?! Not hardly full disclosure there, Doc. By Sunday evening we were DONE.

Just a kind, simple warning to those considering the treatment. And I'm just curious if anyone has experienced this as well.

HELP WANTED

Think it's time for a blog page makeover? Me too. Who will do the honors? Name your price since I have no earthly clue how to tackle the project.
