Another Baby...

IT's NOT MINE. Just wanted to be clear on that!

The last time we came to Florida I was able to see a newborn...

maybe we should make it tradition?

Patrick's cousin, Becky, had her baby last week,

and I got to ooh and aah at her and take lots of pictures.

Welcome Sydney Ann to the family!

Isn't she adorable?

Autumn just loved holding her.
Puppet wasn't the least bit amused with the baby,
she was a little upset that everyone was ignoring her.

Every year for the past 3 years a new great grandchild has been born.

2008 - Cody

2009 - Tommy

2010 - Sydney

Incredible

We made it safely to Florida and amazingly I've not taken any photos yet, but I promise I will because I know you all (all 3 of you) are desperately awaiting to see them. By the way, it's cold and rainy here.

Autumn

Autumn got a new haircut today.

She wanted to look like Kit, her American Girl doll.

I love it because not only is it cute, but it's easy to brush!

I don't like it because it makes her look older.

Sigh.

Wordless Wednesday

My New Button

Awhile back I learned to make my own button (with the help of Shabby Blogs), since changing the look of my blog yet again, I thought I'd share the new button. Please feel free to grab it and post it on your blog. Just add a gadget to your blog then copy and past the link below into a new html box/java script box. Thanks!

My Little Guy is Sick

Cody has had a cold for a couple of days. Yesterday my husband stayed home from church with Cody. When I came home we had lunch and I put Cody down for a nap. He woke up coughing and I went into check on him and he thanked me by throwing up all over me, him, his bed and a few toys. Thanks, Cody. He later threw up 2 more times, but I was more prepared for those.

I wasn't sure if it was the coughing that made him throw up or if he has the flu. This morning he woke up around 7am. I put in a movie and we laid on the couch to watch Toy Story 2 (one of his favorites). My precious little man sat up turned around and threw up all over me again. Ughhh!

Hopefully this will pass quickly and he'll get back to being his happy, hyperactive self. (As these older photos show.)

Happy Monday!

Momma's Little Helper

Sometimes I get frustrated because we have a small house. Today it seemed everyone was in my kitchen at the same time. A family in our church just had a baby, so I made a lasagna to send to them, since I made one for them I just made extra to make one for our family for supper. Putting together a lasagna takes time, and I tried not to get frustrated when the kids were in and out of the kitchen today.

But it was sweet when Cody brought in his stool and climbed up to watch what I was doing. I love these pics. Lord, please help me to never think of my kids as an inconvenience or annoyance.
