Hodgepodge

First of all, I wanted to let you all know that my blog is complete. It has been done for a while now, but I am just now getting around to posting about it. Hollie did an amazing job and I really want y'all to check out her design blog! Thanks again Hollie! She is so patient and will tweak it until you are 100% happy. I love my new look!

This past weekend we got to go see Craig and Czarina's new house for Craig's birthday celebration. Their house is beautiful! I cannot believe that I didn't take a single picture while we were there. That is SO unlike me! I guess it's because I was having so much fun visiting with the girls and loving on Charleigh, that it didn't even cross my mind. It was great to get together with our friends that we don't get to see that often.

Czarina has a heart doppler machine and we were able to hear the heartbeats of her's and Silvana's buns in the oven! It was so cool! Czarina is having a little girl and Silvana is having a little boy. I am so happy for them!

They have two Golden Retrievers, and the kids LOVED them! They are used to being around big dogs because of Lucky, so it was fun for them to run around with 2 big dogs. Parker also got to play "big boy" games with the guys on Craig's Wii and had an absolute BLAST!! It was so fun to watch him feel like one of the guys. They were all so great with him and never once tried to exclude him from anything they did.

I was very proud to see so many of the guys that I have known half of my life turn into such amazing men! The ones that are already Dads are great fathers; the ones that are soon-to-be Dads are going to be just as great with their children! It's such a cool thing to be a part of!

Also, I want to ask you all to keep my MIL, Robbin, in your prayers. She got laid-off last Thursday from her job. It's such a scary time right now, and with the economy being so bad, I am so scared it's going to be hard for her to find something quickly. Please pray that she will be able to find another job soon and that she will be able to keep her stress level down during this trying time!

Please pray for our family too in this situation. As most of you have probably read, or heard on the news, Neiman's is also doing lay-offs. I pray everyday that our family won't be affected by this, but I also pray for the families of all the people whom have been laid-off. I hate the situation we are all in right now! So, so scary!!

I hope you all had a great weekend and continue to have a great week! Love you all!
