I got this in an email today, and I thought it was pretty funny and appropriate for Father’s Day. It is fascinating to me that our men can be so strong and so tough and can watch any number of gruesome things without batting an eye. But give them a stinky diaper and watch them…
A Father’s Day Celebration
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…
Idiot Sightings?
I got this in an email and thought it was worth posting…. I can be a bit naive at times, but come on! Some of these are just ridiculous. IDIOT AT SEARS: We had to have the garage door repaired, and the Searsrepairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not…
My First Ever Tag!
How very exciting, right? I’ve been tagged by Tiffany. I know the ones I choose to tag may or may not feel as excited, but I think I will enjoy my excitement in the meantime. Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits…
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…
Oh, the pain….
Our instructions were to take the shot of ovidrel tonight somewhere between 6 pm and 8 pm. At 7:45 pm I was going to head out to the store to get my grocery game shopping out of the way in light of B’s little one making his way into the world. I glanced at the…
