1...2...3... "SAY SARA'S PREGNANT!!!!"

On Memorial Day, May 28th we told Sara's Mom, Dad, Sister Heather and Brother-in-law Jeff the exciting news!  After thinking long and hard on how to tell them we decided to play a little trick on the family!  Sara told them that she needed a photo for a blog that she was staring... (not exactly a lie!) Mike was behind the camera and said ok, on the count of three,  1...2...3... "Say Cheese".  He proceded to say that it was blurry so he'd have to take another.  Well, on the second photo he said 1...2...3... "SAY SARA'S PREGNANT!!!!"  The reaction captured is priceless....



Mom and Dad after they stopped crying.... (PS-they started crying again a few minutes after this picture!)


 SO.... since we LOVED the reactions of Sara's family so much, we decided to tell Mike's Mom, Step-Dad Jimmy, Brother Blake and Sister-In-Law Jackie the same way.  Needless to say the reactions were equally as priceless however the photo came out a little blurry :(

Lessons From the Road

1) My husband is an expert at eating sunflower seeds. Almost squirrel like he stored a hand full of seeds in his cheek, cracked, chewed and spit the shells into an empty Krystal box for hours at a time. After knowing this man for eight years I never knew he had this talent. He attempted to explain the seed eating process to me, but I'm just not that  coordinated. Along with lobster, shrimp and other nuts I just don't see the point of all of the effort it takes to get to a piece of meat or a nut so small. His lovely "spit box" 2) Hotel hair dryers are not normal. No matter where you are. Even at the nicest hotels they still manage to frizz and fry. Don't get me wrong I never leave home without my own personal hairdryer but for some reason I always want to try that cute little convenient one mounted to the wall. (Hotel Dryer) (My Dryer) 3) Never trust a seagull. These birds are mean and they will poop on you. Just lying on the...

"So, how's the baby?"

It amazes me how different peoples reactions are when I tell them I lost my baby. All in all I've only had to answer this question about six times. I know that it doesn't sound like an awful lot but each one still manages to throw me into a funk. Yesterday, three people, today one. I play these conversations over and over in my head and wonder how the other person took the news. It all starts with a sweet, innocent gesture, a simple: "So, how's the baby?" I reply, "Unfortunately, we lost her". If you can imagine the look of someone seeing a ghost, that's about the look I receive. I've heard: "I'm so sorry", "God Bless You", "that's not the answer that I was expecting" "Oh, I totally forgot!" (guessing this person knew and asked without thinking?!?) Some people blush and look like they want to run away, some gave me a hug, some say they will keep me in their prayers. And before you know ...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...
