Her First Barbie Dolls (And Why I Love Garage Sales!)

-
I struck gold today! I was on my way to Wal-Mart when I swung by a garage sale. The girl at the sale had some toys, and Natalie picked out a couple from the 10 cent box. Then we found a box of Barbies. Now, I do feel Natalie is a little young for Barbies, but she latched on to a couple of them, and would not let go. The girl (about seven years old) only wanted 50 cents for them, so I bought them. My daughter hasn't let them out of her site! Yes, I know she will ruin them, but hey, the smile on her face was well worth the Dollar. I have tried to get some pictures of them. She wasn't coropperating well.

On another note, I have joined FaceBook. I like it! Tim has an account to. I have enjoyed catching up with friends from High School and College. I even found my old math and English teachers (they are married to each other.) So, if you are on FaceBook, look me up! What I like most about it is being able to see my friends' blogs! That's a quick, easy way to stay up-to-date on everyone's new families. I found out one of my close friends has a baby, and another one just got married this summer! Congrats Edy G and Andy W!

Then I went home, and the lady at the end of the street had a little kitchen, with ALL the food and dishes, etc, for $20! I have been wanting to get her a little kitchen, and now she has one! She loves opening and closing the doors. Enjoy the pics!





Notice the Barbies in her arms.



It's really hard to get a decent picture of a toddler.

Congrats on your baby girl! I know it's kinda late...:) She is so cute! When was she born? I love the video of her laughing with daddy and playing in the pool. I should show that to my boy. I've tried to get him to sit in his baby pool like that, but he won't...he constantly has to be running!

Hard Questions

-
Today, we were in the car and Natalie was listening to some Christian music. She blurted out, "I don't want to go to Heaven!" What? You heard that right. I said a quick prayer for wisdom, turned the music off, and asked why. N: "I don't know, I just don't" M: "Are you afraid ?" N: "I don't know." M: "Are you afraid because you don't want to die?" (For some strange, creepy reason, my child is obsessed with death and dying) N: "Yes, I don't want to die." M: "Well, most people don't want to die, but when we die if Jesus is our saviour, we go to heaven. There are mansions there, which are like beautiful palaces (remember, princess mode here), and Jesus is there and we can see what God looks like." N: "I don't want to go there Mommy! I don't want to die!" I tried hard to assure her that unless God had another plan, she wasn't going to die for a really long time, and when

My Story Begins

I am participating in a really fun project that is the brainchild of my friend Janna, who regularly blogs at The Adventure of Motherhood . Her project, entitled Mommy's Piggy Tales , encourages moms to blog about their childhood in 15 weeks. Here is the button if you want to learn more or consider joining. My dad, my mom, and me. My daughter, N, has that quilt now. Every year for Christmas my brother and I received our very own holiday ornament. Starting with the “Baby’s First Christmas” ornament, these ornaments usually reflected something we accomplished or did during the soon-to-be-past year. For example, the year I got my driver’s license, my ornament was Daffy Duck in a shiny new car. Every year we enjoyed putting “our” ornaments on the tree. It was a wonderful time to reflect back over our lives and the memories we had made. Sometimes we asked the reason behind the ornament, and learned a little more about our histories. When I married, I got a box with my ornaments in it to

Christmas Miracle

Natalie was hamming it up for Tim the other night. Well, a lot has been going on in the past two months. About a month or so after the miscarriage, I was noticing something wasn't quite as it should be. I took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive. That was strange to me, because we were trying to prevent that as requested by the doctor. They called me in for blood work, and everything was indicating that I was pregnant. I was quite confused, as you can probably imagine. Two weeks ago we went in to have an ultrasound. That was eight weeks after the miscarriage. In that ultrasound they found what appeared to be a baby developing at 5 weeks gestation. We were quite perplexed, of course, because in our minds it should be about 8 weeks. The doctor asked us to come back today because at 7 weeks they should be able to see a heartbeat. The doctor said there was a good chance that there were just leftovers in there because of the earlier miscarriage, but that my numbers (hormone leve
