Don't worry....I am not going to do 8 months worth of posting!! I do have a few things to share and plan on doing so in a very condensed fashion as we are preparing to welcome our twin daughters into the world sometime in the next 4 weeks!!! Thought I would post a few pics of Holden. He is such a funny, smart, sweet, and ALL BOY boy!!! Discipline is becoming harder mainly because he has developed his independence and wants to do things his way at times! I spend my days tearing up at his sweet self, cracking up at his funny self, or wanting to pinch his little head off because of his testing mommy self. He is still such a joy and mommy's heart walking around with two legs!! I am trying to enjoy every minute with him right now. I am having that "mommy guilt" about how having two new little ones will affect him. I have been reassured that this is completely normal and that he will be fine!! I really think he will be a good big brother and helper! I am so thankful for my time with him, just the two of us, and but I look forward to many wonderful times we will all have once his sisters arrive! God gave me the desire to be a mommy and now He is blessing me beyond my wildest dreams!!! Praise HIM!!!!!!!<br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;">( I did decide to share some pics from the past months!)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8TgBeh4az-fE0Q3l3nnk8IlnMBiLIHR_lUReWwvkEh2HKLU5c-AElyDzybmN40IRutwe4Nc_7FmIKquTfuzzT3ZGKGmwAqwTrgG4jadVjcw98SwIO7ij6-on2BFqrR5kQncdxskkPuZcR/s1600/IMG_3464.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8TgBeh4az-fE0Q3l3nnk8IlnMBiLIHR_lUReWwvkEh2HKLU5c-AElyDzybmN40IRutwe4Nc_7FmIKquTfuzzT3ZGKGmwAqwTrgG4jadVjcw98SwIO7ij6-on2BFqrR5kQncdxskkPuZcR/s320/IMG_3464.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574791467672362290" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Orange Beach Vacation-June<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlUpJHa1wSnS3UXVrlwLYM7RBkIRdAQ-xaC1Og1jfOa-dEgPvJGfH-_O2c2Uj_68SzYFnOD8amzJMYAAgJH7_DD4XYplRwc4Q9M438ceOx9qbvB5KO68XlPrDY1Acfc6uh_tJSbIkpI2M/s1600/IMG_3383.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlUpJHa1wSnS3UXVrlwLYM7RBkIRdAQ-xaC1Og1jfOa-dEgPvJGfH-_O2c2Uj_68SzYFnOD8amzJMYAAgJH7_DD4XYplRwc4Q9M438ceOx9qbvB5KO68XlPrDY1Acfc6uh_tJSbIkpI2M/s320/IMG_3383.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574791470709804882" border="0" /></a><br />H is ready to go to the pool!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDfx_daxaJGr_7_Yh5l-ahTqylWKHIAfQth6zWCLFSIj2NQy2r9hlVIiRrFvP3HGCQVQ2Yw_Y7zLM0Ie6tQKAAKBd9ccDyZz4aFixw855Ho0NupT5S1mUifmYMJ1qQusyqMetOfNoxghP/s1600/IMG_3489.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDfx_daxaJGr_7_Yh5l-ahTqylWKHIAfQth6zWCLFSIj2NQy2r9hlVIiRrFvP3HGCQVQ2Yw_Y7zLM0Ie6tQKAAKBd9ccDyZz4aFixw855Ho0NupT5S1mUifmYMJ1qQusyqMetOfNoxghP/s320/IMG_3489.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574791484979240770" border="0" /></a><br />Holden and Anna Claire on our vacation....bff's!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzJa0xBn7FtEZI8bcvW3Sp7tvFT7XpVvXD51ovRMPhdwzb-aFoUlK0vu7aWw6UjWEiKoJa1IUhGcPGn567v994ek31_SMOr4ZPgamlDVZgUBhJkBUCjLagkLb5KRwXdqd4ldBPK2q5xjm/s1600/P061410PS-1264.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdzJa0xBn7FtEZI8bcvW3Sp7tvFT7XpVvXD51ovRMPhdwzb-aFoUlK0vu7aWw6UjWEiKoJa1IUhGcPGn567v994ek31_SMOr4ZPgamlDVZgUBhJkBUCjLagkLb5KRwXdqd4ldBPK2q5xjm/s320/P061410PS-1264.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574791472704543602" border="0" /></a><br />Yes, that is my son giving Obama a high five.

We started the day with a candle in a donut hole( do hos as Holden called them) and singing Happy Birthday. I was too busy filming that to take pictures. Here is Holden when I went in to get him up that morning.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"NO photos this early mom....a fella needs his morning milk first!!"<br />.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZSSsK_B2or0TihUdTG4U1bshIcS6_ytnW8be8zlAumciMeveLEcdCjI3xLdQ-FmKHljf7ydwfCrGzLfp9YPp2jBdWfT6HR0PR79E6FhECChxi4wukRR4bAK5w_hMcEpadS969FMlaMXO/s1600/IMG_3124.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZSSsK_B2or0TihUdTG4U1bshIcS6_ytnW8be8zlAumciMeveLEcdCjI3xLdQ-FmKHljf7ydwfCrGzLfp9YPp2jBdWfT6HR0PR79E6FhECChxi4wukRR4bAK5w_hMcEpadS969FMlaMXO/s320/IMG_3124.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488234530017878482" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">We had Holden's birthday party at The Play Place in Ridgeland. It was sooooooo much fun! I was not stressed one bit and the kids really enjoyed themselves! Holden LOVES the Backyardigans so we went with that as a theme. <a href="http://www.jennyhollowaydesigns.blogspot.com/">Jenny Holloway</a> did Holden's invitation(she did his last year!) and birthday banner and <a href="http://www.2911creations.blogspot.com/">Emily Witcher</a> did some thank you notes and treat bag stickers for me. They both have fabulous custom invitation, etc. businesses. I made the character cupcakes, cake, and cookies for the favors. Poor Holden's cake wasn't my best but by the time I had done the cupcakes and 50 cookies, I was running out of steam. He seemed to love them though! In keeping with the backyard adventure theme, the treat bags were filled with bubbles, play doh, stickers, sidewalk chalk, balls(4 boys) or paddle ball sets(4 girls), sunglasses-all of which are perfect for backyard adventures and a cookie and juice box for snack because at the end of every episode, the characters have some kind of snack. The stickers on the bags said "Some backyard activities just for to say thanks for celebrating Holden turning 2." Can you tell I got a little carried away?!?!? It is just so much fun celebrating your child's birthday!! I put together some photo collages to condense the number of pictures I took and wanted to share.(<span style="font-size:85%;">Double click to enlarge)</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The precious invitation and banner!

It is hard to believe that 6 years have passed! I tell everyone that I knew that I would marry Jack before we even went on our first date..we had talked for about 3 weeks before our first date, and we talked about everything. He was the first person I felt like I could be myself with! I didn't have to be perfect all the time and he made me laugh.....both of which are still true today(he is good about making me laugh when I am upset with him about something....a trait he has passed along to Holden)! Jack is my best friend and I feel very blessed to have him in my life! A lot has happened in 6 years-completed med school, had our first child, moved three times, & started a residency program! I am soooo proud of Jack and it's neat to see his dreams become reality. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! So, Happy Anniversary to my handsome, sweet, loving, smart, funny, & amazing husband!(<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">great daddy too!</span>) I loved you 6 years ago, but that love doesn't hold a candle to how I feel about you today!

The past two years have been the most memorable, awesome, hard, special, blessed, humbling, and exciting years for Jack and me! We are just in awe of God's creation and how He chose us to be this precious little boy's parents. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mommy. So when May 8, 2008 finally rolled around, I was the happiest mommy in the world. You always hear that the Lord has a plan and His way and timing is perfect, and when I look at Holden, I know without a doubt that is true.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEoGmQptLj7t2XRUX2biu1hgSn1HT5AvVh_UtYLvaowKIF7He6ZSfswjVnJ_zuGqtjQ1KCDZ37ST7nBEkNbinKHDaBOQYwyxTehnIrQdW9wFxGFDMmcIR3bp9qODnx7VKL78mYs8r259AC/s1600/baby+pics+1+007.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEoGmQptLj7t2XRUX2biu1hgSn1HT5AvVh_UtYLvaowKIF7He6ZSfswjVnJ_zuGqtjQ1KCDZ37ST7nBEkNbinKHDaBOQYwyxTehnIrQdW9wFxGFDMmcIR3bp9qODnx7VKL78mYs8r259AC/s200/baby+pics+1+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478650498186847010" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">May 8, 2008<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEx2WwQfHLM0lqRBHsop_Nj07tUjbUnGddhdLQaaiyS7mxDfvCCiEZnetVexfi3obev_QDeU97dSKs4KMc8DLbb0h1LA09JOwS2K-SwzthLt_SH5g5bVNdxExCG_w9Xr8ZooU_oeUVQKf/s1600/IMG_1035.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEx2WwQfHLM0lqRBHsop_Nj07tUjbUnGddhdLQaaiyS7mxDfvCCiEZnetVexfi3obev_QDeU97dSKs4KMc8DLbb0h1LA09JOwS2K-SwzthLt_SH5g5bVNdxExCG_w9Xr8ZooU_oeUVQKf/s200/IMG_1035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478648203121243586" border="0" /></a><br />May 9, 2009<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfQBS6IrtdufrzsCOoz8d-vRoUsAhfWEekgImcrkSulaYvSysXhsd2HRCjrxliVog-832CtKM9GfC7rwmDXopbsuZohSpI4ZXgrJ_Z5BvU6Rj2jkxaGuUiboqoq82m2ih8Pz1ZrOv5R9ZD/s1600/IMG_3236.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfQBS6IrtdufrzsCOoz8d-vRoUsAhfWEekgImcrkSulaYvSysXhsd2HRCjrxliVog-832CtKM9GfC7rwmDXopbsuZohSpI4ZXgrJ_Z5BvU6Rj2jkxaGuUiboqoq82m2ih8Pz1ZrOv5R9ZD/s200/IMG_3236.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478648206875524978" border="0" /></a><br />May 8, 2010<br /></div>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14153322992235887528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736870575709821408.post-76630687153036703782010-03-10T11:10:00.000-08:002010-03-10T11:26:42.319-08:00I know he is mine, but he is just so precious!<div style="text-align: center;">I have a lot I want to blog about but not a lot of time right now.

Holden saw the snow first thing that morning through our backdoor and started sayng,"wow!!" I have to admit, I was thinking wow myself! Snow covered everything and was steadily coming down. It had been a long time since I had seen that much snow. So, once I had him wrapped up like a mummy in layers of clothes and his brand new rain boots on, we headed out. The snow continued to fall the whole time we were out there. Holden loved it! He ran around talking up a storm(not sure what all he was saying) and enjoyed throwing snowballs. I tried to build a snowman but my little helper kept knocking it over. I managed to build a tiny, pitiful looking snowman and snapped a picture of it before Holden knocked it over. Holden was NOT a fan of sitting in the snow. The snow was up to the top of his boots so that tripped him up a few times. We stayed outside a while and when I couldn't feel my hands any longer and the snow started falling harder, we went inside. Holden WAS NOT happy about that! He would stay outside all day, every day no matter what the temperature or conditions were if I would let him. I am really gad he loves being outside, but I didn't want my baby to turn into a popsicle! He stopped crying when I opened his Valentine cookie(yes, it was a bribe). He and I sat on the kitchen floor, watched the snow fall, and enjoyed the yummy cookie! I love watching him experience things each day, and I am very grateful I get to!! </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br />Smiling a big smile(although you can't see it)</div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB_hVA3Wm58HwotbNnwY5VI2kCa-o0t7xfYOnhJsNnywQ2ltwdpiJ0h0XalgD5qmG-ZsWehul4e0nEiv-qw-KEUIM_tlRfZUh2HEkYJdWt7hP2JoLfcF46QA7Sjbg8o_BwfXrc0klae0rb/s1600-h/IMG_2768-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438904362875188018" style="WIDTH: 320px;

He is growing and learning so much each day, and it seems like time speeding by! In four short months, we will be celebrating the big 2nd birthday which really blows my mind!!! Time flies when you are having fun!! Here are a few things about him:<br /><div style="text-align: center;">*Weighs 26lbs. 8 oz. and is between 32.5 and 33 inches<br />**He is becoming more and more verbal each day. New sayings:<br />-where is it?(with his hands up like he is asking)<br />-ummm, that's good<br />-Love you<br />-thank you<br />-i do it<br />-night, night<br />-cold<br />-march(while marching)<br />-many other things that I haven't been able to figure out yet :)<br />***Loves his new farm and all of his animals....he talks to them and plays with them for the longest time!<br />****Cars, trucks, and anything he can make go are still his favs...we love to hear him make the sounds<br />*****He is very observant and mimics things after seeing them once or twice<br />*****Still loves the Backyardigans and Imagination Movers...He also likes Curious George<br />*****Loves his books and has started "reading" to himself(which makes me smile)<br />*****LOVES to help with the dishwasher, laundry, sweeping, closing the fridge, fixing his juice, etc. and loves brushing his teeth<br />****Loves to throw the ball and play catch<br />***Carries on conversations on his play phone<br />****puts the shapes in the right space on his shape sorter<br />*****LOVES music and breaks it down when he hears it...at home, at the store, in the car, etc.<br />****Gets sooooooooo excited when he hears the garage door on the evening and starts screaming "dada" as soon as he hears it<br />*****Gives the best hugs and sugar ever and melts my heart over and over again!<br />As always, I bet I am forgetting many things! I hope to post Christmas stuff before Valentine's Day rolls around! :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqIGnJJv6-dnBY8xbU6YG30FkVfDIQLH29WKwhWKlBgfGEPjC6JFQcSpSbKbRF497V5C3Mb85ozJUpZmEs52oPoGZvYdzZTZFbr2X4DOsxMo0gofUYjl01349t3WN67-uYVU5ZhIZ7czDG/s1600-h/IMG_2376.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 128px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqIGnJJv6-dnBY8xbU6YG30FkVfDIQLH29WKwhWKlBgfGEPjC6JFQcSpSbKbRF497V5C3Mb85ozJUpZmEs52oPoGZvYdzZTZFbr2X4DOsxMo0gofUYjl01349t3WN67-uYVU5ZhIZ7czDG/s320/IMG_2376.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424854289591450338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie80Y4rxo9VSnbmPRB72XsW-W9ZaZWfEHjaABvogSGANgS9Kui860M5sG9y3ZjKBqazJ3df4-Nmz_r407ZHsnyPU28CJ1re4TwTL49l6hhjVOqJHax8IHmhVyUhc1TycZNo03_Ui9IrGZT/s1600-h/IMG_2398.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie80Y4rxo9VSnbmPRB72XsW-W9ZaZWfEHjaABvogSGANgS9Kui860M5sG9y3ZjKBqazJ3df4-Nmz_r407ZHsnyPU28CJ1re4TwTL49l6hhjVOqJHax8IHmhVyUhc1TycZNo03_Ui9IrGZT/s320/IMG_2398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424854279769026754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3s1eZiC-ByWc5vcCzGjcJ_Bl0HaPHo2WCW81GThGDYyopWuWLwPqhqD5Ot4Xkl3SFzJuBjLzNldhfEJoTJqu9arTcH2S4isa4wZyCmOSPJfIiMNALvrHe5MJn4Nl_pU4Mib_fcLCtNfKk/s1600-h/IMG_2426.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3s1eZiC-ByWc5vcCzGjcJ_Bl0HaPHo2WCW81GThGDYyopWuWLwPqhqD5Ot4Xkl3SFzJuBjLzNldhfEJoTJqu9arTcH2S4isa4wZyCmOSPJfIiMNALvrHe5MJn4Nl_pU4Mib_fcLCtNfKk/s320/IMG_2426.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424854292502005330" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14153322992235887528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736870575709821408.post-73807415820682789162010-01-09T12:16:00.001-08:002010-01-09T12:46:52.618-08:00BLESSINGS to you in 2010!<div style="text-align: center;">Happy 2010!! It's hard to believe that another year quickly passed and a new year is upon us!! We had a busy Christmas season and I look forward to sharing some of that on here. While watching Holden play yesterday(we chilled all day in our pjs) I was overcome with happiness....more so than I have ever felt. I quickly realized that it wasn't just happiness I was feeling....it was the wonderful feeling of God having his hand on me and making me realize just how blessed I am! He has given me a loving husband and best friend in Jack who loves me unconditionally and who works hard each day to provide for our family, I have my precious son Holden, who I prayed for for most of my life, a nice home, wonderful family, the GREATEST friends a person could have, and good health! What more could I ask for!?! Thanks to Him from whom all blessings flow! My prayer is to really focus on the joys(blessings) in life and not let negativity, from the world around me or myself , get in the way of enjoying and counting the blessings in my life! Happy 2010 to you and your family!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe8DTsRPC3EWKxHN6mTyL0cfie7WQ9-Hr0NTYA6R_60mZiS1vTT8OcAJc0eKfawMqBo2cfC2l9eahpVTQUoVdJezAMCWvXyfXHB6WhZLezt8tP-OtTpgPptKm0WBu5VPb36vPDsTQ9kPRZ/s1600-h/IMG_2357.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe8DTsRPC3EWKxHN6mTyL0cfie7WQ9-Hr0NTYA6R_60mZiS1vTT8OcAJc0eKfawMqBo2cfC2l9eahpVTQUoVdJezAMCWvXyfXHB6WhZLezt8tP-OtTpgPptKm0WBu5VPb36vPDsTQ9kPRZ/s320/IMG_2357.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424843517723018866" border="0" /></a><br />My Sweet Boys!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXKhQp8lCT9QdQXVypRCjlEg-JrCa5NNg6qMpCjb-0Xob8uPGXB3Om1HejI6fLTqC32lPLeLOhoooQTC_NZj_P1Wi0VwWZmas8cj0t27012joY83H6QbfUdPz_O5X-elGmBjE4cf_sF5Zo/s1600-h/IMG_0962.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXKhQp8lCT9QdQXVypRCjlEg-JrCa5NNg6qMpCjb-0Xob8uPGXB3Om1HejI6fLTqC32lPLeLOhoooQTC_NZj_P1Wi0VwWZmas8cj0t27012joY83H6QbfUdPz_O5X-elGmBjE4cf_sF5Zo/s320/IMG_0962.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424843519438076818" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14153322992235887528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736870575709821408.post-77282612306930334322009-10-22T12:16:00.000-07:002009-10-22T09:11:57.602-07:00Holden is 17 months!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKWdInVanvTwLLmsW-u88J2Z-bIblcIE9bJ1h4xe4Yfmwkq1eeDAcGnZ4ZHuXGfXfvWJgNIe8ClPtAEC74OQYWnBT_l7w2ZF8mzrpP8Q9zq4VLqIQdR5t66K-ksoQLJNjCRby4GwRty0H/s1600-h/IMG_1773.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKWdInVanvTwLLmsW-u88J2Z-bIblcIE9bJ1h4xe4Yfmwkq1eeDAcGnZ4ZHuXGfXfvWJgNIe8ClPtAEC74OQYWnBT_l7w2ZF8mzrpP8Q9zq4VLqIQdR5t66K-ksoQLJNjCRby4GwRty0H/s320/IMG_1773.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395455946513744418" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />It is so hard to believe that our baby boy is already 17 months old!! He is such a blessing, and jack and I are enjoying every stage of his life!! He has been on the go and has kept me very, very busy and entertained(that's the main reason I haven't blogged a lot!!!) since he turned a year old in May, and even more so since he began walking at 14 months. It warms my heart to see him experience things for the first time. I get mad at myself sometimes for not writing EVERYTHING down, but I find myself wanting to just enjoy the moment. I am jotting notes on the back of his pictures, though, so that when I put them in an album, I will remember . Here are some things he is doing/enjoying now....<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li>Walking/running all over the place!! </li><li>Playing outside(the rain was making him very, very mad!!)</li><li>Playing with his friends and going to Mother's Morning out--O.K. I have to admit that I was really sad when I started sending him in August....He has been with me pretty much everyday since he was born. However, when I met his sweet teacher, I knew it would be a good thing. He LOVES it!! Plus, its only two mornings a week for a few hours</li><li>Mimics what you do...washing hands, eating, putting on make up(jack hates this one), brushing hair, cooking, brushing teeth, etc...it's soooooo cute!!</li><li>LOVES cars, trucks, trains</li><li>Puts his tiny hands up to his chin to say the blessing when he gets in his highchair...he giggles when you say Amen!<br /></li><li>LOVES to dance....cutest thing ever!!!</li><li>Talking up a storm, although you must speak Holden talk to understand most of it. You can recognize daddy, mommy, bye, mmm, dog, hey, oh, wow, go, brother...when he sees wilson(the dog) he says, "Heeey bruder"(hey brother)....sooo sweet</li><li>Snuggles before bed and when he gets up on the morning</li><li>Makes the funniest faces!!!<br /></li><li>climbs on everything<br /></li><li>laughs at things and at himself and makes US laugh constantly!!<br /></li><li>LOVES fruit and cheese...he did like veggies but he has started turning his nose up at them. I keep trying though.</li><li>LOVES The Backyardigans and Imagination Movers<br /></li><li>Has precious blond curls!!

For his big birthday, his parents, my parents, and I gave him a trip to see his favorite band, PHISH, in California at the end of October. It's what he wanted because it's part of the band's reunion tour. To celebrate his actual birthday, we had two mini celebrations. The first was with his parents and some of our sweet friends during the tailgate at the JSU/MSU game. We had a lot of fun hanging out, celebrating, and watching the DAWGS get a W!!

Then, I decided to turn it into a surprise birthday party for Jack. Let me just say that it is nearly impossible to surprise my sweet hubby. I encouraged him to go play golf that morning and when he left, Holden and I were running around like crazy trying to get things ready and hidden. I went with a tailgate theme since we were already having people over to watch the game, which really turned out great! I sent Jack on an errand and while he was gone, we all added the bday decorations which included a "run through" type sign outside accompanied by 30 maroon and white balloons!(thanks brad and maren for picking those up for me!) He was surprised, and even though State lost, we had a great time!! Holden really enjoyed walking around and suckering everyone into giving him a bite of cake! He knows how to work those baby blues of his.:) He didn't last the whole night....by about 7:45, he was ready for bed.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzftqsozOxtg_d28pF8NRBmrFuTjBbPDUe32M2BbZfYWPQaOZ3Z4AWR_8BDQs9nniFW8JllHGrT2BfEds0Ztth3TKVoXsfScyPE7AQ02H_7nF-196VeDNLzrygwBu9SHIx66Oie1Ga9-g9/s1600-h/collage8.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzftqsozOxtg_d28pF8NRBmrFuTjBbPDUe32M2BbZfYWPQaOZ3Z4AWR_8BDQs9nniFW8JllHGrT2BfEds0Ztth3TKVoXsfScyPE7AQ02H_7nF-196VeDNLzrygwBu9SHIx66Oie1Ga9-g9/s320/collage8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394391151894895874" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY<br />to a wonderful husband, friend, son, and exceptional Daddy!!!!

Lately, I have really been struggling with missing him and second guessing myself over his care and if I could have done anything else to help him(although I know I shouldn't). People tell me that it gets better with time...you never quit missing them, but that you get to a point where you don't bust into tears when something makes you think of them.......I know that will come with time. I decided to re-post what I wrote last year because I feel the same today. This is just my way of dealing with things....................</span><br /><br /></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">I contemplated blogging about this because it is a rather personal thing, and I try to only blog about Holden and other happy things. However, I thought this could be a good way for me to release what I am feeling and be able to deal with it a little easier. "My therapy" I guess you could say. He went on to Heaven on November 26 of last year, and it has been hard to deal with at times and this occasion is one of those hard times. My daddy was a wonderful daddy and friend! I have the best memories of him! He was a very involved daddy and always made time to do things with me. I was a daddy's girl....his hugs could make the worst hurts somehow feel better. November 2007 was a tough month and watching my big, strong daddy become so frail was one of the hardest things. We had some good visits over that month. I kick myself a lot with "if i had only" or "i should have done..." Losing him was the toughest thing I have ever experienced. The thought of never seeing him again takes my breath and hurts like nothing has ever hurt before. But, I know that it is a part of life. I think the hardest thing for me is knowing Holden will never know his pops! Daddy was so excited about becoming pops...he would tell anyone in the hospital that I was pregnant, although I was barely showing. He talked about what all he wanted to do with his grand baby and he would be loving every minute with Holden now. I do see my daddy each time I look at my precious little boy because Holden has his eyes, just like me. I know daddy watches over us and that it is a little selfish of me to want him here on Earth, but I am only human. Sometimes a girl needs her daddy, even when she is all grown up. But, I do know that he is in a much better place, where he no longer hurts and can play all the golf he wants and watch all the football he wants, and I bet he is talking the ear off of anyone who will sit still long enough. I have peace in knowing that I will see him again one day. Anyways, I could go on and on but I don't want to get bogged down. I love and miss him very much!!<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251099037955325378" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXlcaf-UqIU753d3W5WO3jsaJH-lqN_Q8tfxUwt-S7HeCaRobDYZoIdqZBVQ6Fiy7hQv0A4549NID_Et1Jy7cxj60a9oa3LeUS87w4jyCqvYrbyu5fjv3ShjmoqPVsUYIXq5fi87RP3hge/s400/001_1.JPG" border="0" /></span>Our last Christmas together....2006<br /></div>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14153322992235887528noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736870575709821408.post-49514869774557561832009-09-25T06:52:00.000-07:002009-09-27T18:17:10.913-07:00GO DAWGS!!!<div style="text-align: center;">Running some plays to get ready for the game<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje6HGKkOKvyRsB0qm4AnHNgDTkk9VUKRXdMzf1XnO9MLG0BNm1VyTnyFngrQaN-jos9XcGj0mIqq85u2gpIX7SOaZ42HHknhoJisNgFjbcEfOIglsVFlQA9Kay5bMri-wk2vYAl4yelVwB/s1600-h/IMG_1643.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje6HGKkOKvyRsB0qm4AnHNgDTkk9VUKRXdMzf1XnO9MLG0BNm1VyTnyFngrQaN-jos9XcGj0mIqq85u2gpIX7SOaZ42HHknhoJisNgFjbcEfOIglsVFlQA9Kay5bMri-wk2vYAl4yelVwB/s320/IMG_1643.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385403369392109730" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Pep talk and game face on<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHpaJJAMjrJyw_aTwoxQDGxMMudTsRwNbxu_8RIZYdUVPV8yueBAtAMNOgOdFQLUYLXn2MZ4mnJdd_ioucqJVs9L3HRify3xhY0rvZo9pd3S_5cAImDhcwbFwr-bMqmf62sy3yv9SRnEp/s1600-h/IMG_1648.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghHpaJJAMjrJyw_aTwoxQDGxMMudTsRwNbxu_8RIZYdUVPV8yueBAtAMNOgOdFQLUYLXn2MZ4mnJdd_ioucqJVs9L3HRify3xhY0rvZo9pd3S_5cAImDhcwbFwr-bMqmf62sy3yv9SRnEp/s320/IMG_1648.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385403376134347314" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">O.k. mommy and daddy--ready to go watch the Dawgs!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5U9hhOPjfkRBnUF6zVdvbktynfRuZYyNnyEzp_l3GqNMJS8CW5RW5CaI4nXSmHEWGI8e6aBoFcywP6QFwoZz4Awwnw-AOFyKEgZeV4sPR_cSkWqxsJPCzN2fJWUyLR50Mmzlt9TRFbQtB/s1600-h/IMG_1662.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5U9hhOPjfkRBnUF6zVdvbktynfRuZYyNnyEzp_l3GqNMJS8CW5RW5CaI4nXSmHEWGI8e6aBoFcywP6QFwoZz4Awwnw-AOFyKEgZeV4sPR_cSkWqxsJPCzN2fJWUyLR50Mmzlt9TRFbQtB/s320/IMG_1662.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385403360986744482" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We are headed to Starkville today to gear up for tomorrow's game against LSU!

The past 4 months have flown by!!! We have been busy with our day to day lives and blogging has been put on the back burner until now.....some disgruntled fans(aka grandparents) have started talking about how much they wished I would update the blog, so I plan on doing so over the next few days. To be honest, each time I have started to update it, I have felt so overwhelmed with how much I haven't posted about our sweet Holden that I decide not to blog. So, I am not going to go back and try to replay everything that has happened since May....I will just blog about some things. Holden is 16 months already!!! Where did my tiny baby go??? He has had some fun adventures this summer that I look forward to sharing with you!!</span></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;">HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY JACK!!!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQ3cJGXGj7DxigurCTQ5JZzxQ5YLz88eazt1XxVE2qiWOWbVjuNDNq_N9vGM5C0TO1lSDShsSBAyvNfAKXyz79NIY3X1jswidkSysT5RJFGBm8LePQnEELiTkFkA8W3-RxlBOI_Auvmmx/s1600-h/IMG_1621.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQ3cJGXGj7DxigurCTQ5JZzxQ5YLz88eazt1XxVE2qiWOWbVjuNDNq_N9vGM5C0TO1lSDShsSBAyvNfAKXyz79NIY3X1jswidkSysT5RJFGBm8LePQnEELiTkFkA8W3-RxlBOI_Auvmmx/s320/IMG_1621.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381880686196143618" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">I have other pics of my two boys but I love this one!!

The grandmothers jump at the chance to come keep Holden when I have something I need to do minus the little one or when Jack and I have something to do or just to visit. The grandfathers jump at the chance, too! Again, they are all so generous and Holden's birthday was no exception! It was like Christmas in May! Jack's parents gave Holden a fabulous swing set which was more than a "some assembly required" project. It took 3 full days to construct but was well worth the time!! My mom and step dad sent Holden a box of goodies, ranging from a riding firetruck to pajamas to musical instruments to a piano in memory of my daddy and they brought him a sand and picnic table when they came! Both grandparents also helped make the party a big success! Thanks Meme and Bossy and Grammy and Gram!! We love y'all!!<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAhyphenhyphenX_8zoPGs3RPBhTmX1VYfG1VQUqJ9_ugPVqek45YcrGBJ9XbdsCVR62nPWcirwdiLn60X2pUgpGjEizeAn2l1bY7GCMJZ5XhaV8jtDc-0BqIPLECaAts9vG582qjWqeZ6QhQV364YXY/s1600-h/IMG_0938.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350994272692802130" style="WIDTH: 240px;

I wanted it to be very special and something that our family could keep. I told her what I was thinking about and she created the most precious invitation for Holden.

Today is our 5th anniversary! It is hard to believe that 5 years have passed! I knew that I would marry Jack before we even went on our first date..we talked for about 3 weeks before our first date and we talked about everything. He was the first person I felt like I could be myself with! I didn't have to be perfect all the time and he made me laugh.....both of which are still true today! Jack is my best friend and I feel very blessed to have him in my life! A lot has happened in 5 years-completed med school, had our first child, moved three times, & started a residency program! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! So, Happy Anniversary to my handsome, sweet, loving, smart, funny, & amazing husband!(great daddy too!) I loved you 5 years ago, but that love doesn't hold a candle to how I feel about you today! I love you!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Honeymoon in Jamaica-2004</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofA3g-VfsB_u5q7BJ17AZJeZA1hT0iwkezpbNV5tpyxplwP6vfBVSHLDfAAOolbu7XsCSgC8hYS_F2Iv7DNA-z8ZOL0syWisIHtWpQ-DK0rX60dNNCPp-yt5u9fcklcgcf5vnCYLOPxmW/s1600-h/IMG_0354.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343957061977929634" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhofA3g-VfsB_u5q7BJ17AZJeZA1hT0iwkezpbNV5tpyxplwP6vfBVSHLDfAAOolbu7XsCSgC8hYS_F2Iv7DNA-z8ZOL0syWisIHtWpQ-DK0rX60dNNCPp-yt5u9fcklcgcf5vnCYLOPxmW/s200/IMG_0354.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><p align="center">2nd Anniversary Trip to San Francisco-2006<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1tTPLpFm7-7d88LgXsEibrkP3QePk2KRnt5ltmB6MZRhYLeYi3rs5yiKT-2W_M942snZM4pbsU4M5xrEBmKxjpe6tsNbC7BRYOi61p4mxSOZVEE7tmJb-rUMGynnpsGNiNpEGtou7ks0P/s1600-h/IMG_0799.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343957065650454962" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1tTPLpFm7-7d88LgXsEibrkP3QePk2KRnt5ltmB6MZRhYLeYi3rs5yiKT-2W_M942snZM4pbsU4M5xrEBmKxjpe6tsNbC7BRYOi61p4mxSOZVEE7tmJb-rUMGynnpsGNiNpEGtou7ks0P/s200/IMG_0799.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div align="center">Our life now-2009</div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwXyfa12ez_hvSC1p7fJruC2fzFTSZeEYM4qJTwSsqgNTdveoXXY2islzNMVO03sJFGYkI9AtFyZRCWt-aBC-S_wM405SJMBBluI_vEYj24GCjGCbfxzAOSadB3TUacRwYyh492rZLVWZ/s1600-h/IMG_0797.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343957059261319090" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwXyfa12ez_hvSC1p7fJruC2fzFTSZeEYM4qJTwSsqgNTdveoXXY2islzNMVO03sJFGYkI9AtFyZRCWt-aBC-S_wM405SJMBBluI_vEYj24GCjGCbfxzAOSadB3TUacRwYyh492rZLVWZ/s200/IMG_0797.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14153322992235887528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736870575709821408.post-27644754755905258072009-05-27T19:45:00.000-07:002009-05-27T19:51:33.441-07:00PRAYER REQUESTOur sweet baby will have surgery Friday morning to repair a hydrocele/hernia that he has had since birth. We had hoped it would correct itself so that he wouldn't need surgery. The thought of my baby undergoing anesthesia and surgery makes me a little nauseous. I have faith that the Lord will have his hand on the procedure and on sweet, precious Holden. However, the mommy in me can't help but worry!! Jack will get to be with him right before and during surgery and I get to go back as soon as he gets to recovery! Please pray for the doctors, nurses, Holden, and our family! Thanks so much guys!

Easter was so special this year! I have always been emotional around this time of year because of the heartbreaking, yet miraculous story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. However, this year it really hit home because I am a mother now. I can only imagine the hurt that Mary and our Lord must have felt watching what their precious son had to endure. What a gracious Heavenly Father we have!<br /><div><div><div align="center"><div><div><div><div><div><div align="center">Jack's schedule kept us in Jackson this year, but we really had a great day!! Our day started with early service. Holden did so well and charmed the ladies in the nursery and all the women at the Piccadilly at lunch. On our way home, we stopped at the lake near our house and had a photo shoot. When we got home, Holden received two big Easter baskets full of goodies thanks to both sets of grandparents and a little help from Jack and me! He was more interested in the grass but it was so fun!!! When Holden got up from his nap, we all dyed Easter eggs. Holden REALLY wanted to drink the dye!! We did an egg for each of us, Wilson, both sets of grandparents, and one in memory of pops(my daddy). Holden and I also made Easter egg and bunny shaped brownies. It was a great day!! Jack and I are so thankful for our sweet little boy and feel so very blessed!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-aj-tuuJ0KjUy_bP7dtrD6olhVvnkwALwrN3R8bj1ZdVkj_pWFYdjVewGn9s0Y5EsbDQjgfyo03zFBEgAEYw_M0zxWiKgKUU4nUZG7OrEExtnVDlXVGzT_Jk-mQ4rgIfUxJIdIpCb2ngw/s1600-h/collage+12.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvyWiT73Ae8ZzyOtPfNLowWkkTJtimmwDAn6h29Ix8tWwf4GW1cHsmdtOpuWFaYn77Kv5O8Nxh-XFm8tiHibaPWXzgvkHdD_eopoB4Z52_ycKNsT_sa7-dGfODiKvDRbjEDy12fY1r78_w/s1600-h/collage+121.jpg"></a></div>(double click collages to make them bigger!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpXgJng1OZ8GCu9H_XffstBHyeCZPOj4EgTn6THwD4MMf24ArUu-Jeari0GE7uX3y5OH-trumpSMIcEEzjEIjDPiMzpD-5xf9CQZviNdtn2ua8Oh2NNzX19hUPthZ1QpWSTWYvvRmJnQ2B/s1600-h/collage+12.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329469937432557410" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 143px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpXgJng1OZ8GCu9H_XffstBHyeCZPOj4EgTn6THwD4MMf24ArUu-Jeari0GE7uX3y5OH-trumpSMIcEEzjEIjDPiMzpD-5xf9CQZviNdtn2ua8Oh2NNzX19hUPthZ1QpWSTWYvvRmJnQ2B/s200/collage+12.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">PHOTO SHOOT(windy)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvEx-pcRZhCA5oVQccPXxakwarD3qMz0IxFBXtPBFHcA3AESeu2figv0-jGWZbU2EVibjux4hoLXQsY_5FRvDd9zejK8Va7SP5dBnPUr_2RGbRRMAK5kwsrOHlXlfnX1G81jhiupUiCzV/s1600-h/collage+121.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329469941671350658" style="WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvEx-pcRZhCA5oVQccPXxakwarD3qMz0IxFBXtPBFHcA3AESeu2figv0-jGWZbU2EVibjux4hoLXQsY_5FRvDd9zejK8Va7SP5dBnPUr_2RGbRRMAK5kwsrOHlXlfnX1G81jhiupUiCzV/s200/collage+121.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p align="center">BASKET TIME</p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8HVK6T1rE2gaoIcFfVQvl7yUaPZ7oqzue6oqVCsMbsZO-HIMmZaQnAEJlJKU4r9R898SzM51dQNxf6b-eBV0tcN3JAem3LjjR8Ji_XQhxr1vMb6lzrkRvvnpz7pqLrNmBDnwYAAU4IDUZ/s1600-h/collage+122.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329469946564828610" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8HVK6T1rE2gaoIcFfVQvl7yUaPZ7oqzue6oqVCsMbsZO-HIMmZaQnAEJlJKU4r9R898SzM51dQNxf6b-eBV0tcN3JAem3LjjR8Ji_XQhxr1vMb6lzrkRvvnpz7pqLrNmBDnwYAAU4IDUZ/s200/collage+122.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><div></div><div></div></div></div>Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14153322992235887528noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736870575709821408.post-22207787623049730782009-04-11T13:54:00.000-07:002009-04-11T14:22:09.147-07:00HAPPY EASTER!!Holden did great with the Easter bunny.

Holden was showered with lots of cards from family, books and clothes from Meme and Bossy, clothes and the talking Elmo doll from Grammy and Gram, and Dr. Seuss books from mommy and daddy! It was more like Christmas for Holden! He was, of course, the most treasured gift for all of us! Jack and I got to go to dinner with our good friends the Bookers and Smithermans.

It has been good for us to talk, compare notes, and let the kids get to know each other. Recently, we have started meeting at the park with some other friends since the weather has been nice. It is so good to talk to other moms and let our kids have a break, too! Holden LOVES other children so he really enjoys it.<br /><div align="center">We are very lucky to have a nice park at the entrance to our subdivision. Holden and I stroll there a lot and he is beginning to like the swings, although he wasn't too sure at first!</div><div align="center">AND we love when we have visits from other good friends!!
