New Pages

It’s been a while since I’ve posted some pages I’ve finished.
I suppose that could be because I don’t really have much time anymore to do pages.
Hmm.  Go figure.

 (Ivon & I look so young in this picture!  We’re getting old!  AHHH!)

Apple

Christopher got an apple from Grandma and asked her if she would cut it up so he could eat it better.
Grandma asked him, “How do you want it cut?”
Christopher replied, “With a knife.”
;)

Inspiration…

I was just talking to an amazing friend of mine, 
telling her about the postpartum depression that’s hitting me pretty hard these days… 
and she said something that’s helped me a lot….
“You are Woman.  Bring it on!”
I think I need to make a plaque or something with that on it.
Thank you, Mandy!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween!  Emily, Hannah, Robby and Christopher were Cowgirls and Cowboys.  Mallie was a ballerina.  They were all so cute.  They also got to go Trick or Treating for reals this year- not Trunk or Treating!  Mallie stayed home with me to greet those who came to our door.

(Although, I must admit it wasn’t as fun as Halloween 2009, when we all had the Swine Flu.  That year, the kids went Trick or Treating door to door in our house!  We also bought the good candy….Mmmmm!  So much fun!)

(Oh, and the sheets behind them are to hide the mound of clean laundry behind it… It’s been a busy five weeks!  I can’t finish anything!)

Best. Candy. EVER!

I don’t know why, but I LOVE pumpkins!  They are so much fun!  Every year, I plant several different kinds of pumpkin plants.  [This year didn't give me ANY! :*(  ]  They are so much fun!  And, to top it all off, they make the best candy ever shaped like pumpkins!  Pumpkin Candy!  YAY!  I also love Candy Corn, but, the Pumpkin Candy is better because you get more with one bite!  He he!

How cute is this?!

One Month Old

This month has gone by so fast!  And, I have to say that I am kind of glad that it has.  It has been SO hard!  Mallie hasn’t felt well all month, and my depression is kicking in big time!  I think we may have finally got to most of Mallie’s ailments, so now she is so much more like the Mallie I thought her to be!  I sure love this sweet little girl!  And, I am so thankful to have her in our lives!

Two Weeks

I took Mallie in for her two week Well Child check-up.
She gained 9 oz. in two weeks!
And apparently grew 2 inches, too!
She is now 8 lbs. 9 oz. and 21 inches long.
So, for her weight, she is in the 58%.
For her height, she is in the 76%.
And, her head is 14.6 inches around, and is in the 74%.
She’s growing!
Why do they have to grow?!

Happy Birthday, Christopher!

Three years.
It’s been three fun years!
Christopher is quite the kid!
I sure love him and his funny ways!
This picture is when he was pretending to be “Rango”!
With his cowboy boots, “Biggie Boy” pants, and Daddy’s leather hat,
and his stick that looks like a gun.
He’d walk around and say with a drawl, “I’m Rango!”
Love him!
Happy Birthday, “Fisser John”!
(*That’s what he calls himself!*)
