Congrats Leslie!! Just head on down Wednesday-Sunday 11am-6pm and show your ID to claim your $15 dollar gift certificate! Enjoy!!

Y'all, life is so full! I've been hoping to sit down and blog all about it, and things like that beautiful smile above that had the ol' metal taken off today; but my home looks like it threw up, and needs some MAJOR attention in the house keeping department. The words that our girls said months ago when we were keeping our nephew.."our home is going to be a disaster when we have a toddler", is screaming at me.... and we don't even have a toddler yet.....Lord, help me.


We are slowly getting back to normal...not really. Let's say, we are learning our "new" normal....trying to decide how much of the old routine will go back into place or what will never enter the schedule again.... like, SLEEP. Glorious SLEEP!





I had forgotten how much I needed it.....and liked it...





this gorgeous baby turned 8 weeks old today...this makes me smile so much. This picture was taken last week, and if she wasn't sound asleep in her dreaded crib right now, I would take a new updated one. I say dreaded, because if it were her way, all of her sleep times would look like this....






we've had some sweet bonding time,  but I'm not the only one......the babies of the family started their bond early as well....



so much that the one on the right decided she would like to share a room with her. This of course did come at a small price. I negotiated taking some of Lizzy's personal space, with giving her most of the say in the design of the new space...

Lizzy am

The above (minus the fact she turned into a hoarder over the past few years), has been her room for almost 11 years.

So we've done the pink and green, and honestly PINK for so long, that Lizzy required we go with her favorite color.... BLUE......and I couldn't agree more.

Since we didn't think we would get baby when adopting, and with absolutely no preparation for one, we were BLESSED with the necessities of all things baby, by friends and family; but a nursery was FAR from our minds and importance over the last two months.

I've been racking my brain....a design is there, but the fabric choices have been so hard for me to decide on.... but I'm happy to say, I think I have it down to these..... but might throw in a few more if needed ;)

Hopefully, I'll finish the room before too long :)

you know that house I was writing of in the beginning?? It's calling my name.......loudly.  My time's up, peeps!

Happy Tuesday, and hope to see you soon!

Hello beautiful friend. Sleep will return one day. I love you all and can't wait to meet the new Pilcher. Missing you very much. It's been nearly a year since we last hugged. Kisses and hugs for everyone.
