Woman of courage...

I came across this blog (   http://www.embracingelijah.com/   ) last week and it has just broken my heart. LC is 35 weeks pregant with her second child. He will be born next week but will not survive. Their precious Elijah has Trisomy 13. I can not imagine what that family is going through but I applaud her for her courage. She decided to give Elijah every opportunity that she could...and wants to keep him inside as long as possible. She will carry him to term and then have to say good bye immediately. I do not know this person and have only commented on her blog once. Please stop by and give her some words of encouragement  peace   comfort something....what can you say to someone in this situation? Please lift her and her family up in prayer as they are about to embark on a journey that will forever change their lives and break their hearts.

Well, hello there!

Too busy for words! Life is good and kids are just great! BB is almost 8 months old. How is that possible? She is the sweetest baby! So much fun to be around. AB is doing great and has started playing basketball.  He loves it and it's fun to do the whole sports thing with a kid! I am swamped with school. Only 4 weeks to go until the end of the semester. I can not wait. I still have homework to do and I really want to be in bed right now. I'll try to update more soon. Hope you are all doing well!

Oh, and don't you love how BB's bows match her pj's?

Attack Dog!!!

Terrifying, huh?

Disclaimer: No children or dogs were injured!!!

Rite of Passage

Bluebonnets (flowers) pop up in the spring all over the Austin area. Not sure about other parts of Texas. And every year people throw their dogs and babies into the middle of the flowers and take their photos. I call it the rite of passage for Texas babies!!

Ever seen a bluebonnet? Pretty, huh?

My subject wasn't being very cooperative!! She was too busy trying to eat the flowers!

Maybe we'll try again later.

Discontinued....

I believe that the pacifiers that BB uses have been discontinued. I can't find them in any stores...only on ama zon . com.  This is probably only the, lets say 25th, thing I use that has been discontinued. Of course, pacifiers disappear like socks in the dryer. We used to have about 12 and now we are down to 6 or so. Why oh why...especially a pacifier! I tried a different one on her today and she was less than thrilled with it. Hopefully the ones we have will last for quite a while.

All is well around her. I am struggling through my class and trying to keep my new camera from taking too much of my time! I've been trying to take photos of AB but he grumbles and complains so much that it's no fun for me! Oh well... My mom and grandmother are coming into town this weekend so I'm really excited about that. Then BB and I are making a trip to see the in laws in April. It will be her 2nd flight. Hopefully she will do as well as she did on the first one.

I have tons to do and it's already 9:30. Ugh! Where does the day go?

I leave you with a few cute photos!!

AB has had a whiny few days... not sure what's going on but it's a makin' me crazy! Hormones maybe? I'm not used to that from him.

Poor BB just threw up all over her crib. I heard her whimpering and went in to check on her. I saw that she spit up a little and then she started heaving...I grabbed her up and flipped her over. Poor baby. I hope that it's just a weird fluke and that she is not getting sick.

P.S. I am OUT OF CONTROL with the bows for this baby! She gets her band off on Friday and I can not wait to have bows on her head all the time!! =) Poor girl....she looks less than amused, huh?

Playing with exposure....

Happy Anniversary

We bought each other a Nikon D5000 camera! It is amazing. I don't know how to use it yet but I have a subject that can't run from me. So I should get lots of practice. I've figured out a few things since yesterday but look forward to learning more about the camera and editing! Yay!!

So...just a few of my faves! There were sooooo many good ones! So excited!!
