Private 1st class Downer!


Congratulations to my little brother Aaron on a job well done! Aaron graduated from boot camp today and is now an official Marine. He meritoriously received Private 1st class for how well he did. He is also "Iron-man" of his whole company! I'm sure he makes quite the handsome Marine and will serve his country well. Mom will be posting pictures from their visit tonight.

Chastity's new friend!


This is the little miss last night after a long nap! Saturday she was running a low fever and it carried over into Sunday so we decided to have church at home. Chastity was able to get some much needed rest; maybe too much!!! Not really, but last night at 1:00 in the morning i had long since run out of steam and she was still going strong. Not very enjoyable for mama! She wanted to either be walking or standing in my lap. Finally, around 1:30 she fell asleep; thank the Lord!

I have been working in Chastity's room trying to rework some things. Today while Chastity was busy watching and talking to me; a certain little critter decided she was going to hang out with the ladies. The only problem was; she also had it in mind to get better aquainted with Chastity. More than once i would turn my back and the kitty would take the opportunity to join Chastity in her seat! Very cute, but a definite no-no with me!

"Fay"

Tropical storm Fay has turned out to be pretty mild after all! We didn't expect it to be extremely harsh, but one never knows when a storm will decide to strengthen or take a new course.
In response to an "anonymous" comment; I realize the thunderstorm i referred to in yesterdays post was probably not directly related to Fay, although it is very possible there was a slight connection between the two! Yes, it was most likely just one of Florida's famous thunderstorms. Oh, and don't let me leave out that the winds were nothing like Hurricane Charlie in 04!
Anyways, now that we have that cleared up!
For now we are enjoying the nice, although somewhat wet, weather for now! Andy is also enjoying a day off work as a result of Fay.

Weekend happenings




This past weekend the guys tackled the job of mixing and pouring concrete for our shed/laundry room. As far as i know, things went pretty smooth for them. Thank goodness it was only concrete and not the shed and part of the carport! Hurricane Fay may have decided to undo it all! The wind is already beginning to pick up and a nasty looking storm is moving in as i type. Guess my poor hubby will be tying things down in the rain!


The three babies. They are such cuties, but i am so ready for them and their mama to be outside!

Better sign off for now. The wind is really picking up! Need to go try to grab a few things before it takes off with them!





A visit from Faye?!

We Florida residents are keeping close tabs on Tropical Storm Faye's journey. My husband just called to inform me we wouldn't be staying at our place through the storm. The tracker is showing the storm to go just west of us; giving us hurricane force winds etc.! He plans to get off early today and head home to make sure things are tied down. What excitement! Hopefully everything keeps its place and we come back to a home and not a pile of rubble!

I was tinkering with a few things around the house today and these were the results! I love looking for ways to rearrange something or dress it up a bit.
As you can tell by the pictures; i love the berries! I love the look they give; so fun to use in your decorating.

Picture time again!

My baby girl is two months old already! I can hardly believe how fast time is moving. Today we had pictures taken at Olan Mills. I was much more satisfied with the results than last time, but still not completely satisfied. I guess you get what you pay for! I have to say our photographer did pretty good considering she's only been at it for 3 months.
While we waited to view our pictures, i tried on some clothes. I realized i would have to lay Chastity down before i could do anything so this is where she ended up! She was such a doll; didn't mind one bit!
I was going to post some of her pictures from today, but sadly enough i discovered it takes 5-7 business days before they are able to be viewed! So until then.......!
