New Life......

This spring weather has been FABULOUS (except for the fact that my throat might completely close up from this yellow dust that has attached itself to EVERY THING I OWN including me ; leaving me dead and not enjoying the rest of this season!)!

Spring makes it's mark in many ways, one of which..........new life..........



Meet Camille! Camille made her presence into the world last Friday, March 26, weighing 7lbs 2oz! The girls,cousins, Aunt Na Na and myself headed late Friday for a quick trip to Mobile to lay our lips on those precious cheeks!!

Saturday morning after breakfast we loaded up the crew to meet their new cousin at Providence Hospital..



I had to take a picture so that you would understand that when we arrived we had a lot of questions from the backseat asking us "what kind of hospital is this?", "this looks like something from Star Wars!". And let's not forget that when you walked through the doors you felt like you should be seeing people all dressed in stark white and weird looking eyes as though they were from outer space!

After playing 20 questions about the hospital we soon arrived at the 7th floor and all took turns doing this.......







they did some of this too.....


No need to explain what they are staring at! We have all seen those kind of stares before! Right Darby!

Kids can only take so much of a hospital room visit (let's face it...mom's can only take so much with their kids in a hospital room!), and I got tired of playing the "How Many Times Can Mommy Say 'Don't Touch That' game, when Mimi shared a fabulous little secret about a FABULOUS "Festival of Flowers" event LITERALLY right behind the hospital!!! Could you hear the Hallelujah chorus being sung from room #730 in a weird looking hospital 300 miles south of Dothan oh about 12noon on Saturday...Yeah, that was me!


You might have heard it again around 12:15pm as we walked into this.......











It was like Heaven on Earth! I know this is FAR from Heaven, because I know it will be more glorious there then what I saw that day, BUT....if my Heavenly Father gives me a choice of a bed in my Heavenly home, I hope I can choose one like the one above!! It was breath taking!!

I can't even tell you how much was enjoyed that day! They even had FREE crafts for the kids...











We had a blast! Went back to the home front (aka..Abby's Parent's House, whom by the way are the most wonderful people and you when you stay in their home it is like you are in your own) for a little bit of this...



so that we would be well rested for the BIG TALENT SHOW!










The kids did a great job putting on a VERY entertaining show! And even had LIVE music! Thank you Alisa!! It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day!! Have a great day and if you find a good way for pollen not to dampen your day let me know!!!
