Time Sure Flies by........When Your Having Fun!

So I have realized that I clearly do not have time to work on my blog. It seems as though all I can manage is once a month and that barely happens. So here's the conglomeration of August. We started out the month with a bang. Literally. I had just put Annabelle down for a nap when I received a call from the hubs saying, "I have been in an accident. I am fine. I just wanted to let you know." To which I said, "WHAT!?!" Thinking I must have misunderstood. Sadly, it is true. Cameron is fine, thankfully. However, he has been having problems with his right leg due to the amount of force he used pushing the brakes trying to stop the truck. I am glad he likes big trucks! It could have been a lot worse. Thank the Lord no one was seriously injured, but both vehicles were totaled. Our beautiful Z-71 gave her life protecting Cameron. So we have bid farewell to the truck. I was a little sad to see her go......... :-(

 

On a brighter note, Annabelle had her very first swim in the lake (with Daddy's help, of course) and she really seemed to love it. She knew exactly what to do as soon as she touched the water. Splash! She would have stayed longer, but that 'ol Mom decided she was tired and had been in the sun to long.......Next year she will be full force. I am sure Henry will show her how it's done. I have a hard time choosing between Annabelle's pictures. It's totally her fault for being so darn adorable!

 

 

What a gorgeous baby! ;-)

 

 God I love this baby!

On August 20th Annabelle turned 7 months! I can hardly believe it has been 7 months already. On one hand it feels like time has flown by, but on the other I feel like Annabelle always been a part of my life. I vaguely remember what is was like before Annabelle. Maybe I am just too tired to really think about it......I wouldn't trade this sweet girl for anything in the world. Sometimes I look at her and I am in disbelief that this beautiful, sweet baby girl is mine. I told Cameron the other day that I knew I wanted to baby and I knew I would love a baby, but you could never understand what love truly is until you have a child. I am one lucky momma! Annabelle is a scooter! She is everywhere. I guess she figured out that she can move around on her own and decided that she needs to explore. She is her happiest in the floor checking out everything. Still no first tooth, but it has to be soon. She has been working on that first tooth for a while now.......

 

 

 

 

What? You said be sweet to the giraffe?!?!

 

 I'll show you sweet.....

 

I love the look on her face in this one. She is really taking in that giraffe.

We are all so excited that Hank, Kasi and Henry have moved back to Auburn! Last weekend we helped Kasi and Two Men in a Truck move into their new home right down the road. Hopefully, they will love it here and stick around. I would love for Henry and Annabelle to grow up together. Aren't they just so sweet!

 

 

 

Annabelle had an art project at daycare. The first one got lost so this is her first homemade art for school. So mommy and Annabelle created a masterpiece. Obviously, Annabelle is way to young so I did it for her. I worked long and hard gluing each piece of paper onto this apple. About half way through I asked myself, "What the heck was I thinking!" It took way longer than I expected and my OCD kicked in and I just couldn't walk away. I think it turned out really well. If I do say so myself....

I have been having some issues with my stomach. I finally decided to go to the doctor because things were not getting better. Only worse. So after some meds, an ultrasound and a HIDA scan it has been determined that I have multiple gall stones. The doctor's office is going to make me an appointment with a surgeon to discuss what needs to be done. I am anxious to get this party started! I am tired of being scared to eat and being in pain. It doesn't happen everyday, but when it does it is very painful. Anyhow, I will have more information soon and we will take it from there. I am not excited about the prospect of having surgery, but if it must be then I pray it fixes the problem.

Well, I think the just about covers things up to this point. Until next time......XOXO!
