Anatomy of a Saturday...

We LOVE Saturdays at our house. It's a day that (most of the time) we get to hang out as a family. I thought it would be fun to give you a glimpse of what a Saturday might look like at our house...

They start with breakfast...waffles are one of Caden's favorites!What are waffles w/o syrup??

Mickey...my son's obsession.

This toy gets a lot of miles on Saturdays. He's been playing with it for a year and a half, and he still loves it!!

As the morning wears on, Caden starts getting VERY sleepy, so a nap is inevitable.

Grayson is relieved that Caden is asleep for a while...no one is going to come and disturb the swing or steal the pacis.

Just liked this pic...

A little groggy from the 3 hour nap...with a little bed-head.

And, it's off to play some more!!

In Someone else's shoes...

Caden takes the phrase "walk a mile in someone else's shoes" very seriously!!
He can't seem to figure out how to get his own shoes on by himself (he can, however, get them off!), but mine seem to do just fine! LOVE IT!!

A Prayer request...

I don't remember how I got to this blog, but it has weighed heavy on my heart. Tomorrow at 4 pm, this mother will deliver her daughter who is not expected to live for more that a very little while (minutes, maybe hours). I cannot even fathom what she is going through. Her blog entries are very inspiring...God has definitely wrapped his arms around this family. Her husband is one of the singers of Selah (I absolutely LOVE their music), so I'm putting one of their songs at the end of this post. Click HERE to see their blog.

Birth Announcement...

And...(one is classic, one a bit more modern)

How to make a baby mad...

These were taken as I was experimenting with the continuous shoot feature of the camera. Please excuse any odd color hues in all pictures in the near future because I'm experimenting with light, exposure, etc. It's a work in progress. Now, let me show you how to make a baby cry:

1. Start with a happy baby with his paci securely in place.2. Loosen the suction on paci.

3. Spit out paci.

4. WAAAAAAAAA!!!

And the winner is...

The Nikon D40. It arrived yesterday in the mail, and I already LOVE it!! I'm sure that we will learn all sorts of things about it as we go along, but so far, I am very pleased!! I did lots and lots and lots of research, and I think that this is the camera that will best suit my family's needs. Don't expect the pics to be professional overnight...it will be a work in process as I learn the camera. I'm so excited...it was just like Christmas when UPS came yesterday!!!

New Blog...

As some of you know, I love to bargain hunt. I LOVE to shop, and this allows me to shop on a budget. There are TONS of bargain blogs out there, so I decided that I would step out and start my own. It is in the very beginning stages, so don't expect much!!
