Mother's Day Photo Shoot

Casey, Grammy Shannon, and the boys got Ellie this ADORABLE outfit for her birthday! I couldn't wait to have a photoshoot so I thought Mother's Day morning was the perfect time....apparently Ellie had other plans!

Ellie's Favorite Things

Ellie has two things she is enjoying tremendously these days. Banging on the living room window to get the dogs attention and digging all my make-up items out and playing with them. She is changing daily and i am so blessed to be her mommy!

Easter Bunny

I haven't unloaded our Easter pics yet but we loved spending time with our sweet girl!

On Saturday after Kindermusik we had a yummy lunch at Saturn Grill and then headed to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. We knew this was a huge risk as Ellie was already past being due for a nap. So of course we get to the mall and the Easter Bunny is on a break!!! Before he could return from his break sweet girl was taking a nap in her stroller. So we cruised around the mall again and again and again!

When we finally got to the Easter Bunny we weren't quite sure how she would act! Well she LOVED him. The only time she got upset.....when we took her away from him!

Kindermusik

Last Saturday Ellie started Kindermusik. It just a short month class through the fitness center at Chesapeake. She didn't really know what to think the first 15 or so minutes but once she warmed up we had a good time. I'm excited to go back this Saturday!

We didn't get any pictures during class but here she is afterwards enjoying her pizza at UpperCrust.....not really interested in taking a picture!

Fun Times

Last Saturday I made the trek to Tulsa to see my sweet friend Casey!

We enjoyed a day with her two sweet boys. They were patient while we shopped at J. Spencer so we celebrated with Sonic and a nice play at the park!

That evening Casey and I enjoyed a HOT patio dinner at El Guapo and then we enjoyed the Kenny Chesney concert!

Even though I missed my sweet sweet girl it was FUN to spend some one on one time with my dear friend!

Baker Troxler

www.caringbridge.org/visit/bakertroxler

The above link was posted by a few bloggers that I follow then it was sent to me by a friend. God works in mysterious ways.

PLEASE PLEASE pray for this sweet family. They made a decision last weekend that no parent should ever be faced with making.

Baker was born at 35 weeks....the exact same as Ellie. Baker was born due to his mom having dangerously low amniotic fluid which caused decreased fetal movement.....the exact same as Ellie.
However, sweet Baker is not going to make.

I'm not going to get into the personal details you can follow their link if you choose to read more. Please love on your families and NEVER take one moment for granted!

Yes a 35 weeker is a 'late-term' preemie but regardless of that they are STILL a preemie and are brought into this world too soon. Yes there are some situations like Baker's and Ellie's that no matter what the outside world is better than the inside world regardless of consequences!

Please pray for the entire Troxler family!
