Congratulations to our friends, Connie and Dave. She's a big, beautiful girl!

More Recalls!

Is nothing safe anymore? First millions of toys are being recalled for having lead, then Gerber infant cereal for "clumping" up and causing choking, now over a million cribs are being recalled. And we just happen to have one of those cribs! I don't think I'll be sleeping very well tonight. I just ordered the replacement kit which I'm told will arrive in about a month! No hurry, we're only talking about over a million innocent babies here! What kind of testing are these companies doing? Whatever it is they need to do more.

Happy Fall!

I've gotten over my flowers in the basket dying, now that I got a bargain on this cute scarecrow!

Emotional Moment

What is it about being a mother that makes you so emotional! Before I had Isabella I was not an emotional person, in fact my in-laws used to call me "stoneheart" (jokingly of course) because I never cried at movies. That is definitely not the case anymore! One example is yesterday, I turned on the radio so Isabella could dance - her latest thing. Whenever she hears music she waves her arms up and down and moves her shoulders back and forth. The first song that came on the radio was "I Cross my Heart" by George Strait. I always liked this song growing up and thought it was a great love song. But yesterday as I watched my little girl "dancing" and listened to the lyrics I saw it in a whole new light. I think it could also describe the love a parent feels for their child, and I was overwhelmed. Man do I love that little girl!

I Cross my Heart

Our love is unconditional

We knew it from the start

I can see it in your eyes

You can feel it from my heart

from here on after

Lets stay the way we are right now

And share all the love and laughter

That a lifetime will allow

I cross my heart

And promise to

Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true

In all the world

You'll never find

A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle

That makes my life complete

And as long as there's still breath in me

I'll make yours just as sweet

As we look into the future

It's as far as we can see

So lets make each tomorrow

Be the best that it can be

Mistake

Okay - the third link of the last post didn't work. It's supposed to be a cute wooden snowman that sits over a fence not camo tees! I'll see if I can fix it.

Edit- Couldn't fix it, so I deleted the link. :(

Christmas

I did some catalog Christmas shopping tonight and now I am so excited for Christmas I can hardly stand it! I love this place, most of their things are really reasonable! I got presents for all of my nieces and nephews, so that's a good feeling. I also got this for Isabella's birthday, I got some books a month or so ago too, so now I have her birthday presents taken care of. And how cute is this, I couldn't resist. And as long as I'm putting all these links up, here's one more, I really want to get that for Isabella, maybe it could be an early Christmas present so she can play with it during Advent.
