Well, I had picked out an outfit based on going to the park, but since I am already dressed, I'm sticking with it, LOL.I am wearing khaki capris with a yellow and pink plaid blouse, and cropped white sweater. I accessorized with my white Gossip watch, three stone necklace, and diamond stud earrings, and my yellow slip-on tennis shoes.Hu...
Well, it looks like my plans for the day have just changed. We were supposed to go on a play date at the park, but it is raining! I'm kinda glad to be able to stay home, but I know the boys will be disappointed. :( And I am a little disappointed because I was going to stop and get a mint chocolate coffee, lol.It's going to be a long day because Rick has meetings all day and then is playing something called Whirley Ball (which sounds like a REALLY...
A little back story on this picture...What is cuter than a sleeping bear? How about a sleeping bear that is sleeping in his brother's bed. He'd been playing rather than napping during naptime, but we noticed that he had gotten quiet, so we came in to find him at the bottom of Jacob's bed.This has always been his favorite sleeping position. The funny thing is that Jacob used to sleep that way too. Must be something genetic?Hu...
Outside my window...A bright and sun shiny day! It really looks so pleasant outside...I am thinking... Wow, I think life is about to get so busy...From the learning rooms... oh, shoot, I forgot we were supposed to be learning...I am thankful for... my pretty new paint in the living room and dining room. The rooms just have such a "happy" feel to them now.From the kitchen... the kitchen...sounds vaguely familiar but I'm not quite sure where it is...I...
This weekend we started painting and decorating the downstairs of our home. We chose this Dried Chili Pepper from Dutch Boy for the dining room. We chose these silk drapes to add light to the room. We are just so happy with how it all turned out!Hu...
Thursday afternoon I started having contractions and just feeling "icky", so I called Rick and he came home from work. I staid off my feet throughout the evening but continued to feel worse. Throughout the night it got continually worse and I started running a fever and throwing up. We called the midwife in the morning, and she was convinced that I must just have a virus, at which point Rick is trying to explain to her that the contractions started...
I love looking down at my hand and seeing my wedding rings. Aside from thinking they are pretty, I like having a visible symbol of my marriage, right there with me all the time. It's just a nice reminder that my dear husband loves me and I think of him every time I look down at my hand. I know we don't need these material things to show our love, it isn't about that- I'm sure I would feel the same way if it was nothing more than a rubber band, or...
Outside my window...A bright and sun shiny day! (and on a Tuesday, no less!)I am thinking... I wonder if other people sit around thinking about coffee, or I am a total nut, or is it both?From the learning rooms... reading books inside the big blue dog tent.I am thankful for... new clothes. I can't help it- I love clothes. Silly, I know, but it is what it is.From the kitchen... new recipes being collected. I've been trying to find healthy lunch ideas...Scrambled...
Today I am wearing a new shirt...it's sort of a greenish color, although sometimes it looks a little blue...and light khaki pants with a faint pinstripe. I am wearing brownish/burgundy heels with a black bow detail and my tear drop diamond pendant and matching earrings.We went shopping this weekend so putting together outfits should be fun for a while :).With Lo...
Jacob wanted icecream cake for his birthday this year. He also wanted a "Cars" cake. Unfortunately we could not find a Cars icecream cake so we had to improvise with a generic birthday icecream cake and a Cars cake topper. He was happy with it though and loved the fact that the cake had icecream in it!This was the first year where he really wanted a themed birthay...The boys recently watched Cars for the first time and they are in LOVE. All we hear...
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
