Thank You

I have recently added a meter to my blog and wow! I never knew so many people would care what I have to say! Thank you! I wish you would all leave me a comment from time to time, I love hearing from you, it's so encouraging. There are a few people who comment but I have no way of getting back to them. Like Sheila, she always leaves the sweetest comments. I have so many sweet mamas who stop by. It's hard for me to believe anyone but my own mama would want to read anything that I wrote, with my horrible grammar, and bad pictures! God has blessed me with so many sweet friends. I want to thank you all for your friendship and support. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! I will be pretty busy till after Christmas, but I will be back soon to show you Christmas dresses, hopefully some handmade gifts, and lots and lots of family pictures. As part of my Thank You I wanted to share some old pictures of Molly's arrival. I hope you enjoy.
This was the day before Molly arrived. I thought I was tired.
And here she is five weeks early, 6 Lbs 11 oz, 18" long.
Aunt Rae's first kiss!
This is my sweet brother Simon. My kids love to see Uncle Simon! He's the one that pushes them (for hours on end) around the floor in a box. This was his first day as an uncle. She had her daddy wrapped around her pinkie finger from the very first day. It is so crazy how young he looks in this picture. Going home! On the outside I was a pediatric nurse, but on the inside I was scared out of my mind! I knew I would be OK, but I also knew I would never sleep again! LOL!

Samantha,
I too remember that stroll out of the hospital with my first sweet baby girl like it was yesterday, and now she is 20! You all look so happy, and I know from your blog you still are; that's why we like reading it. You have a way of spreading your joy through just jotting down your thoughts-a true gift that I'm glad you can share!
God Bless You and your beautiful family this Christmas...
Love, Sheila
PS Can't wait to see those dresses, and pics of Christmas at your house!

I think 'mommy' and 'tired' are synonyms (sp?) but wow...what job pays off so well? Your pictures are so sweet.
BTW, every kid should have an 'Uncle Simon'!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
