My Baby ~ Aubrey ~ is 6 Months Old

My how time does fly by. It seems like yesterday that I was worrying about my pregnancy, and then bringing home a baby not quite weighing 6 lbs. And now... She is a 6 months old and weighing near the 18 lb mark, but I will have all the specifics of the stats on Wednesday after I have her to the doctor for her checkup. She is a lovable, squeezable, bundle of 100% pure joy. She is "THE BEST" baby. Lindsey was a "good" baby, but Aubrey is nigh unto perfect and very un-demanding. She never cries, she's a great sleeper, eater, and she would much rather smile than not. She is very tolerable of the mountains of love that Lindsey dumps upon her in her 2 yr child like ways. I love her bunches and life is just that much better with having her around. I love having my two girls.

Happy 6 month Birthday, Aubrey!

From November 2008

We went Monday evening, December 15th, on her 6 month birthday and had her picture taken for her 6 month photo op along with her dedication picture, Christmas picture and family picture. It was a big event, but it went well and all the pics turned out great with no hassles. Can't wait to share, but it will probably be a few days before I have the files to do so.

Thanksgiving Day 2008

Here are the pics that were taken on Thanksgiving Day. My cousins from Indiana, David, Martha, Cameron, Sarah Brook, & Ashley Going, came to my parents for a couple of days and we so enjoyed getting to spend Thanksgiving with them. My brother, Bradley's family, also was at my parents for the day, but unfortunately we were missing Brian's family. We had a nice relaxing day. The food was awesome and in my opinion the best thing to eat was the noodles and gravy with potatoes - love'm :) Nothing better than noodles in my opinion. We did have tons of food though. My mother fixed both a turkey breast and ham. It was hilarious, there was so much food that the ham did not even get uncovered for the main dinner, but we ate some of it later. If Brian had been there then you can bet on it having been uncovered, he's the ham eater :) The full menu to the best of my memory, since I am blogging about it so late is: Turkey, Ham, Ham Gravy, Noodles in Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Corn, Broccoli & Cheese, Dressing, Rolls, Broccoli Salad, Cranberry Salad, Angel Salad, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Roll, Black Bottom Pecan Cheesecake Pie (the best), Carmel & Apples, & Cherry Delight. Do you think we had enough? lol. Some things just didn't even get eaten with that much food to be had. We all enjoyed a second round of it later that evening. It was a fun day that ended too soon. I love spending relaxing time with family.

November 2008 Kodak Moments

Here are some pics taken last month up until Thanksgiving which are still to come.  I will try and put some details on the pics, but this is mostly a wordless posting in regards to the pics.  There is too much for me to do between now and Friday evening when we plan to leave for Indiana to be with Jonathan's family.

I have not mentioned it here on my blog yet, but please pray for my niece, Lizzi, who has been in the hospital since Dec 3.  This is Jonathan's sister's little girl.  She has CF, cystic fibrosis, and for the most part has been pretty healthy, with only a few bouts of major illness that has put in her the hospital.  Since coming home from the hospital at birth this is only her 3rd time being admitted and she is almost 4 1/2.  She is an amazing, beautiful, lovable girl.  They were hoping for a quick in and out admittance to get the pic line in and then send her home to continue the treatment.  She has been sick for about 12 weeks and couldn't get rid of the infection with prescription antibiotics.  But, she just recently came down with a mild case of pneumonia and it is not getting any better.  They may even end up having to do a special procedure on Friday to help clear her lungs.  I know it is becoming quite tiresome on Belinda, her Mom, and they have been in the hospital for 10 days now.  When you remember, please pray for Lizzi and the rest of her family.

My debut of using and sharing on YouTube :)

Well, I love the new Picasa3 update that is now available, which is the program I use on my computer to view all my pictures and to share my pics in web albums for my blog.  It has so many more options and one of them is being able to make movies, create different video clips, take part of previously made videos and change the size to be shorter or take out certain parts..... and to upload them to YouTube.  I have never used YouTube, so I created my account and....here we go.  It's not much, but I hope you enjoy.  I know some certain people in Indiana who will enjoy it at least :).

Let me know if you can not view it so I can work the kinks out since this is my first time.

Aubrey Lynn's Dedication 11-2-08

We had Aubrey dedicated at church on November 2, 2008. Jonathan's family was able to join us for this occasion as well. Afterwards we all ate dinner at my parent's house - all 19 of us. The dedication ceremony went really well and Aubrey did great. She had her eyes glued on Bro. Hooker the entire time. We had the song "A Mothers and Fathers Prayer" sung. Here are a few pics from the days events.
