Treasures and Such

For anyone who knows me very well...you know that I am a sucker for a good rummage sale and I love finding treasures at a bargain. My sweet hubby took me to an auction this morning. I also love a good auction but really have to watch myself because I get so wrapped up in winning that I could very easily end up with something that I paid way too much for. This didn't happen to be one of those trips. I got these super fun glasses for $2. I really wanted a ball jar pitcher but told myself I wouldn't bid more than $20 for it, and someone else got it for $20. I know it was worth way more than that. But I really was trying to practice some self control...darn it! Anyway, I am very pleased with my new treasure and wanted to share.

Random Photos from Yesterday...8 Months, WOW!

8 Months is Bittersweet

She Walks, and Waves at 8 Months (OK, so it is assisted, but still really funny steps!)

Happy "Tine Tine's" Day!

Ok, so we are a little late but....Happy Tine Tine's Day! Here is Miss Evie decked out in her Valentine's Day outfit. I can't believe that I caught her on film with the hat actually on. It is her new thing to rip whatever is on her head off the second that you put it on her. I kept trying to get people's attention before I put her hat on so that they could see it on her head. She is such a stinker. Her new favorite word is Mama. I love it. All she would say was DaDa and now we say Mama! Woo Hoo! It is my favorite too! I just love her so much! It is amazing. I have some more photos I need to post...so hopefully I will get to it tomorrow since I am caught up on work and the house is clean. Yay!

Staying Home

Today is my first offical day as a Stay At Home Mommy. I love it. It is the way that it should be...at least for me and Evie. She spent her first night last night in her big girl crib in her own room, and she did better than mommy did with it. I am so blessed to be able to spend my time with this amazing little creature. My prayer is that God will continue to watch over her and care for her through me. What a gift to be the caretaker of this beautiful girl. God says that before she was even formed, He knew her...how awesome is that, and how Awesome is He?

She Stands

Evie is 6 months old as of yesterday...and boy does she wear her mommy out! Here is a vidoe of her at 5 1/2 months old, standing! Her new thing now is to pull up and let go, she hasn't successfully been free-standing for any significant amount of time yet, but she is getting there. (Oh! And the trash bag is full of clothes, not trash...if that matters to anyone!)

Winter 2009

This was one of my favorite outfits this year...I can't believe how many things she has out grown. Little Stinker...



And here we are trying to sit up for the camera.
