Congratulations & pictures
Congratulations to Regina, Tara and Chrissy for winning a pack of note cards or a bow pad! You will be receiving an email from me asking for your order and address very soon! I do ask that you “Pay It Forward” and have a bloggy giveaway of your own on your blog.
Thanks to everyone for participating. Be sure to check back for more giveaways. The next one will be from April’s etsy site and an awesome apron from MomoMadeIt on etsy.
And for some of my new favorite things:
This glue has helped me make the following:
Big Sister has started dressing herself. Adding accessories in the form of more clothing. She had on her typical jeans & t-shirt one day. Then wanted to add a dress, of course. It was actually a pretty cute outfit.
And this is one cutie pie! She’s starting to want to crawl. I’ve got to figure out a way to stop that!
Very much fun.
And some pictures I got off my mom’s camera (seriously, she doesn’t upload anything until her card is full and then she has pictures from LAST March on there. So silly.)
Here are some pictures taken last summer at my Gram & Grandaddy’s house while I was still pregnant with Little Sister.
I am so thankful to have these.
My mom, Big Sister, Self, Gram - a Four Generation picture. I need to get another one with Little Sister out of the womb.
This is J, Big Sister and my Grandaddy who passed in December. I still can’t utter his name without crying. But I wouldn’t miss him so much if he hadn’t been so wonderful.
This is blurry, but you can see that Big Sister was having a blast!
There has been so much on my mind lately. I’m just trying to sort through it all to make a coherent post. I had some blood word done yesterday at my yearly girly visit. The NP said that my thyroid seems to be enlarged. While this could explain why my body is very reluctant to shed some poundage, this isn’t exactly exciting news. It could cause problems with getting pregnant and ovulating and other things that I don’t know about. Hopefully we’ll get the results back soon and start a game plan for treatment.
Well that sounded very Debbie Downer!

Jill,
I found your blog a few weeks ago and love reading and looking at it. I can sympathize with the Debbie Downer part, The last few blogs that I have done have been the same way. I think that all of my blogging buddies have just separated themselves from me because of it. I promised to post a “Happy” blog soon so come visit. Thanks for sharing your family with us.
In Him,
Kelly

first of all… YAY! I won! Thanks so much!
second- my thyroid is all wacky too and I never had trouble getting pregnant but I did have 4 miscarriages along with my 3 live kiddos. I’m not sure if that is related or not. I talk about my thyroid issues a lot on my blog.
Beautiful pictures- I like the 4 generation one! wow.
I am hosting a giveaway today on my blog so go enter it

Keep us “posted” on the thyroid.
Question: what is the pink and brown ditty you made? Could you do a tutorial type post on that?? SO CUTE!
