Here's Halle

I finally got my camera back from my sister today. We took these tonight. I think she's just beautiful. All babies are but this one is extra special.

Me and Halle...not crazy about the angle of this shot.
I'm one proud auntie.

What A Weekend!

Things didn't go the way we had planned for Michael's mini vacation. I'm not complaining though. We did manage to sneak away on Thursday for some "Us" time. We drove down to Christiansburg and did some shopping and had lunch at IHOP. They are doing the strawberry festival and we got the crepes. They were so good. I finally found a White shoulder bag at TJ Maxx. I have been looking for months and couldn't find one that had a long enough shoulder strap to fit comfortably.

As you all know by now Halle was born early on Saturday morning. I think it's cool that she was born on the 4th of July. I'm betting she will be a real firecracker!
I will have pictures latter this week. I left my camera at my sisters. I never go anywhere without my camera. Of all the times to forget it!

I got some wonderful news on Sunday! Chelsea is coming home on Sunday! We are driving half way to Raliegh, NC on Sunday afternoon to meet her and my ex sil. I'm so happy she's coming back early. She goes back to school on August 10th so we don't have a lot of time to get her ready. Just getting her clothes will take a couple of separate weekends. I love taking her shopping even if she is picky about brands and styles. What 16 year old girl isn't ?
We're going to have her birthday party on Sunday evening. She will finally get her computer. I can't wait to see her open it. She is going to flip.

I'm just chilling out today. I don't think we were home for five minutes all weekend. Today is a day for I Love Lucy on the TV and playing Sims 3.
I finally got a little sleep on Saturday night after being at the hospital for almost 24 hours. It sure was worth it.


I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

She's Here!

Halle Mae was born at 4:55a.m. this morning! Baby and mom are healthy and happy! She is just beautiful with a head full of black hair just like her daddy.
I will post some pictures in a day or two. We just got home from the hospital and I'm wiped out. I'm going to try and get some sleep. Thank you for your prayers for my sister and Halle.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. God bless America!

Baby On The Way!

My sister is having the baby shortly. I'm heading to the hospital now. Please say a prayer for Kim and Halle. I will post when I get back but not sure how long that will be.

Prayer Request

Please keep Michael in your prayers. His blood sugar was 256 last night and was back down to 156 this morning. He's been having a struggle with it and his blood pressure is up a little to.
He's been going to the gym after work so hopefully that will help. If his sugar continues like this he will be going back to the doctor ASAP.
I'm so worried about him. His dad was a big guy to and had diabetes and heart disease. We lost him at the age of 62. Michael is 46. My biggest fear in life is to loose him or Chelsea. So please say an extra prayer for him.

Hugs,

Back to Normal

Whatever "normal" is anyway. I just missing my usual routine last week. Having my computer in the shop for three days just shook up my little world. The old computer is in my scrapbook room so a different room without a TV.

I got my computer back on Friday evening. I can now play my Sims 3 game. If I ever figure it out that is. I think the last video game I played was Pac Man!
I created a "Michael" Sim and I just about cracked up when the first thing he did was lay down on the couch and take a nap!

I talked to Chelsea last night and she sounds good. She wants to stay at her mom's until August but school starts on the 10th. We have to take her shopping for school clothes and get all of her supplies. Not to mention her birthday party. I told her that we also wanted her spend some with us before school starts. So hopefully she will come on home in a couple of weeks.

Michael is going to have four days off for the Fourth of July. He only has to work three days this week. I'm so happy that he will have four days free. I'm not sure what we are going to do. We may go into town for the fireworks and parade. Our church is having a cookout so we might go to that. Whatever we end up doing at least we will be together.

My sister is due anytime. I might have a new niece for the 4th of July! Can you tell I'm just a little excited? I love being an aunt.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.
