Claires Party at Mimi and Papas

Celebrating Claire's 4th Birthday

Celebrating Claire's 4th Birthday

Maggie celebrating Claire's 4th Birthday

Claire-bear



The point in life that your baby girl can ride a roller coaster by herself allows you to know that she is growing up. Last week our dear friends the Bests went to the beach and opened up their home to us. Rodney was able to take some time off from work so we just made it a mini vacation in Trussville. Granna and Pops gave us season passes to Alabama Adventure for Claire's birthday. Last week we were able to go three days! We had such a great time getting away and having family time just the four of us. Claire loved the water park but I do think she loved the roller coaster more. I watched as she rode in the bumper cars (keep in mind Maggie sitting in stroller hot and hungry), rode the ferris wheel, thunder river, log ride, and the really loud one that goes round and round ???? .
Claire is now 4. Yes, she is 4. What I thought might not be possible and God gave me two! What an amazing God He is!! I love you sweet claire-bear.

Maggie Rie



My little Maggie is not so little anymore. Since I last posted about her she now has her second tooth on the bottom and is currently cutting two on the top. She has been a bit fussy but overall not to bad. She had her first ear infection about 3 weeks ago. She did not struggle has much as Claire did but I think we were able to catch it pretty early. She is crawling all over the place and loves to get into josh's food and water bowl. Stubborn little monkey she is! She waves and says bye-bye and when she lays down for a nap or for bed she is gone and you never hear a peep out of her. I think back to the paci and bottle prayers and smile. She is now onto the steak and chicken :).
She smiles from ear to ear and she absolutely loves Claire. She will be a year old this month. What a year its been but it would never have been the same without the Maggs! I love you baby girl!!

As you can see I have not nurtured my blogging lately. If you will look to the left of my blog you will see some pictures of my new etsy store. Rodney emailed me yesterday and informed me that he added the store to my blog. Over the past two months I have been sewing and researching and sewing and researching my heart away to get the etsy store up and running. It is now official!! My website is www.oohsandahhs.etsy.com. My mom loves to crochet and so we joined together and have this cute little shop! Last week I received an email about a question on one of my dresses. This little question turned out to be my very first sale!! It was for a size 2t peasant dress. I was able to finish the dress and ship it out yesterday. This was an exciting moment for me! Thank you for all the encouragment and support!!
