Due to improper mommy planning, Haylee took no nap yesterday before the gala at the Swaringen house. Her poor humor and disposition were thus attributed to the no nap factor, but upon arrival home we took her temperature and discovered she was running 100.9 fever. We gave her some Tylenol and put her to bed,…

Say Cheese, Please!!!!
We had a nice afternoon and evening over at mom’s last night. We got to see my new nephew who just keeps getting cuter and cuter, and we all adventured to try a family photo shoot with both the Swaringen and Stroud clans.B has a studio set up in her basement but try squeezing 15…
Jinx! Pinch. Poke. You owe me a Coke!
Grandma picked up several dress up dresses for Haylee at a yard sale for 10 cents each! This is quite the deal considering they are about $20 at Walmart and Target. It is beyond me why a dress up dress would need to cost that much! At the hospital with B, Grandma told her that…
The much awaited pictures…
Here are some pictures of my brand new nephew… Eli! He’s doing great and they hope to go home tomorrow… This was the first moment after Ryan came charging through the door…. First Family Pic… Baby Eli… The face behind the camera… (I was in charge of photos…) Haylee was thrilled to be holding her…
He’s Here!
Just writing a quick update… Elijah Luke arrived today at 2:46 pm weighing in at 9 lbs 3 oz, 22 inches long with a nice big 15 inch head! Bette Anne got the Pitocin at 7:30 am, was dilated to 1 cm at 8:30 am, and then to 4 cm at 11:30 am. The doctor…
Today’s the Day!?!
My baby sister left for the hospital yesterday evening to hopefully have her first little one, Elijah Luke. At church, Sunday, the pastor told everyone to pray for Bette Anne as she was going in the hospital that day to have Goliath. :) The really funny part is mom thought for a split second that…
A Weekend of "Roughing it"
We had a nice weekend of camping, though we did have to cut it short. Here are some pics of the grand adventure. We were glad to finally arrive as it seemed our car became some sort of cosmic magnetic force attracting any and all traffic jams. We seemed to sit through one, then another,…
Date Night… Whoo hoo!
Rachel’s post spurred me to go out and rent Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. It seemed wrong that I have never actually seen it. I’m thinking it was a big blockbuster in its day, right?We just recently joined at Family Video. Any of you all have those nearby? They are amazingly cheap, especially compared to…
More Birthday Fun
Today at 8:31 am our little one turned 4! Our baby girl is somehow no longer a baby. We tried to do a few things special for her today even though we already had the big hooplah on Saturday. Haylee and I went to the library this morning for their story time. We’ve gone the…
My Handy Hubby…
I really feel fortunate and oh so proud to have such a handy hubby. He is such a hard worker, and seems to just know how to do everything! :) He’s been working a few projects recently. He has re-seeded the front lawn and planted hostas down the front of the house. I am particularly…
