Pawpaw's care package

Look at me go! I'm actually posting something that happened TODAY!!

I'm sending Pawpaw a little care package since he had surgery Monday for a Pacemaker. After reading Caitlynne's blog post and an article in Parents Magazine last night, I thought it would be fun to have Holli send him a get well picture.

Here's the prep

and the artist in action

adding a second dimension, a little foot action

and what is a painting without getting your hands into it

                                                               Now the care package

Chicken Noodle soup to make him feel better

a few essentials

thrown in to make Nanny happy

and to make Pawpaw happy!

some entertainment

Once the painting drys, Holli and I will package this up and ship it to Pawpaw hoping to make him feel a little better.

Two Front Teeth

Just a quick update and I'll see if I can keep the blog up better. These babies are just growing so fast it's a challenge!!!

Okay, Holli now has TWO bottom teeth! I first felt the tooth cut through on July 20th and the following day Tab came over and I was showing her Holli's tooth and she pointed out it was not one tooth but two teeth!! Both her bottom teeth came in together.

Holli started crawling July 13th and within a few weeks, she was pulling herself up on any and all things. Here's a video Britt took of Holli crawling.

If you look close you can see her teeth

She likes to play with Scooters tags on his collar

having fun until...she falls

BIG boo boo on her head! Trying to pull up on everything and fell on the ceramic tile outside my office door. 7-31-12

& then there is smiley

Swimming at Gigi's again 8-4-12

Hanging with Mr. Charles Barkley at DFW airport 8-5-12. Talked with him for 10-15 mins before someone walked by and said "Charles Barkley?!" I had no clue who I was visiting with!!  Before we got on the plane heading to Philly, I told him if he was in the downtown area, give me a call and I'll buy him a drink. He said "what just look you up in the phone book, you have a card?"  SO, I gave him my card!

He was very nice and posed with everyone who ask. Oh and on Wednesday I got a text...

What can I say...he's my new BFF

Blakely doesn't seem to impressed as she is sitting pretty 8-6-12

Wearing her new dress from Gigi 8-8-12

Look who's getting chunky 8-10-12

The pups got a new toy but Holli wanted to playing with first, Zoey wasn't having it (8-11-12)

let the tug-a-war game begin

Is it football season yet?? 8-11-12

Off to church with Gigi 8-12-12

Good night everyone....8-13-12

Fun in the Sun

Well Pawpaw's party was a great success. We had a great time and now need to get ready to head home. Here a few pictures of the morning after 

The girls and Tim before heading out to Galveston

Pawpaw is staying behind to take a nap

Made it to Galveston and Dane'e took us to this place called "The Spot" where we could have lunch and maybe get a cocktail. Here Tab and D is waiting for Britt, James and Tim to show up.

Dane'e & the Girls

Dane'e put these together for us and I just LOVE IT!

Tab & I after lunch in front of Pleasure Pier

Blakely's first time at the beach and feeling sand

Holli's first time at the beach too (do you think Britt's having more fun?!)



Love these girls!

I think she likes it (looks like she has a mohawk)

She looks pretty content too

SO much fun watching the girls with the babies. I'm SO proud of the mommy's they are becoming and it gives me great pleasure to watch them. Not a day goes by that I don't find myself laughing out loud at something they have shared with me or, I have witness from these two precious gifts from God. It's just a reminder that even when life takes a turn,God is still in control.  

        On the way back to Nanny's to drop Dane'e, Tim & Nanny off, Blakely was entertaining us...

         Here she would make the "O" sound and Tab would finish with "U".  OU - OU - OU - OU
