memorial day fun

We spent the Memorial Day holiday at the lake with our famiy. We had a wonderul time even with the rain almost all weekend. Mary Claire had so much fun playing with her cousin William!!

We went out on the lake several times Saturday, but we didn't have the camera :(

So glad is finally lake season!!!!

Another Sweet Girl!!!

We are going to have two sweet girls in our house!!! Everything was beautiful and healthy and we could not be happier!!!! We plan on naming her Whitney Rose.... Mary Claire is so excited!!!!

all that matters

tomorrow i go to find out if i am going to be the mommy of two little girls or a little girl and a little boy. don't think i will be sleeping tonight. i know EVERYONE says all that matters is that they are healthy, but seriously that is all. that. matters..... oh to see a sweet baby with working kidneys, four sweet chambers, all that he/she needs to live on this earth-that is all that matters to me in this life. two healthy children. Lord please let it be. Bless my sweet baby.

prayer for the freeman family.

yesterday a sweet family lost their baby girl. I have been following this blog for a long time and they are surely on my mind today. Please say of prayer for kayleigh's family. Hold your babies closer tonight and thank the Lord for their health and happiness. http://kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/

I love my daughter.

mother's day is this weekend and i am very thankful to be mary claire's mommy. I am really trying to soak up the time we have left being a family of 3. I am determined to make this summer full of incredible and fun memories with my girl.
There are a million things she says and does every given day that remind me that she is becoming a little lady instead of mommy's baby. I am really looking forward to going to the lake every weekend and taking her to the pool this summer. she is a summer baby for sure. I am excited that her allergies will surely be at rest also during the summer months also!!!
mary claire- i hope you read all these posts one day and know that I am having fun raising you and watching you grow up. you are so precious to me and your daddy.
