Walk for Babies

This year we all walked as a family for Autumn in the Walk for Babies. We all have special T-Shirts' for the Walk. Austin's says,"For my big sis Autumn" and ours says,"Remembering Autumn." This year was very nice, and we went to Monroe to walk. There were a lot of people and it was a great feeling to be there raising awareness for Premature Babies.

Austin did great for the walk and slept most of the time. We were not sure if we would walk the whole thing with because we had Austin, but we did it all. We raised a lot of money, thank you to everyone who donated.

Dandelions


We ventured outsside today and enjoyed the sunshire with Nana. Austin has never played in the grass before. He kept finding dandelions and trying to eat them. He was loving every second.

Looking Forward



There is something too cute about the back of his head!

I'm Back!

I finally have time to get onto the computer more for updates and whatever! I have been so bad with posting, and I am upset with myself!

Austin has been doing great, almost 14 months old! He is not walking on his own yet, but seriously thinking about it, lol! I can't get him to take a sippy cup still, but we are really working on that! He is enjoying going outside now that the weather is warmer.

Lots of changes going on here. We got rid of our two dogs yesterday. It was really hard to do and I miss them, but we just don't have time anymore. They are in a great home, and we can stop by and see them anytime we want.

We are getting ready to move, so that will be crazy for the next couple of months. It is for the best though and we are very excited about it.

We are going to Vegas in almost a week for my work. I am not excited about it, but not as stressed about it anymore either. I hate to fly, but I am sure all will be fine.

I will be online more often now that we have a laptop. It doesn't work too well to have a toddler and not have a laptop. I LOVE it!!!

I leave you with these pictures from about a month ago - before Austin got a haircut. (I am also taking MANY more pics to post soon too)

The Blanket



This is The Blanket.

The Blanket that my Mom started while I was Pregnant. She made it slowly, circle by circle. When I was in the Hospital time after time, she was by my side making this blanket. While I lay there every day worrying about the pregnancy, she made this blanket.

Little did I know she was as worried as I was about the pregnancy. When I look back I don't remember seeing her worries. I remember seeing her working hard on this Blanket, and it made me feel safe. It made me feel safe because I knew everything would be ok. I knew Austin would be ok and he would one day be cuddled up in this blanket. This is the Blanket, the very special Blanket that we will Cherish forever. Thank you Nana for all of your support and of course for the blanket. It is not just a Blanket, it is a feeling of safety, a feeling that everything will be ok.

Big Day

We took Austin to a baby fair that was going on nearby. I have never been and we decided to check it out with Jenn, Chad and Bridget. Austin was in a baby crawling race and he did very well. He won first, then in the finals he won 3rd. He was very frustrated by the end of - too much going on. Hey, he won $10!! That works for us!


After the fair we decided to get Austin's 1st Haircut!! It was hard to decide, but that hair was getting way too long. He did very well, and he looked so cute!!

He was worn out after his big day.

Happy Easter



Happy St. Patricks Day
