Happy Birthday A!

I cannot believe that my baby is 5 today! Whoo, has it really been that long? We had her princess party on Sunday and it was a "ball!"

Here are some of the princess cupcakes that David made - too cute!

Here are some of the princesses that were able to attend. Note, the princes are in the playroom slaying the dragons.

I just love A's huge smile as one of her friends is being silly.

Here she is about to blow out her candles!
Oh, did I mention that the girls dressed up into princesses at the party.
Way cute!! Wish I had some boy dress up attire.

And here are silhouettes of my family. It has been a long time since I have done a craft but this was quite fun to do and with David's help we did it in a day - start to finish!

And please let me introduce, in his debut on my blog, the one, the only, Finn (my only nephew so far) - and what a joy to finally meet him!

Here is Dave and Finn.

Love this smile! Check out his cheeks :)

C had to meet him too! I think he is already plotting with Finn...look at that face.

Eyes wide open.

Now, for the record, I finally did get to hold my nephew even though I have no photographic evidence to prove it. He is a cutie.

I guess that is all for now. I still cannot believe she is 5!!!

Dance and Cupcakes!

Well, the girls are officially in dance classes and they love it!! Ballet and tap are very fun!

Here is B about to start class

And here she is (second to the left) in class with Miss Alex

And here is A about to leave for her class

And, Grandma Cummins (great grandma to the kids) had her 85th birthday party yesterday! It was so great to celebrate with everyone. David (I helped a little :) made an amazing cupcake tower in honor of grandma complete with elephants, monkeys, lions, clowns and poodles - check out the pictures!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have really been enjoying having my husband home more - it has been fabulous!

My Mom came up on Christmas Eve and we got to spend Christmas together which was really fun, my Dad was missed but we had a good time.

Enjoy these photos!

Sad News

Well, we went to my OB this afternoon and he is pretty sure that I am finishing a miscarriage. It is definitely sad news but we are glad to know what is going on. They took bloodwork that should confirm everything. I get the results tomorrow and then everything is through. My doctor said that most people in my shoes would have never known they were pregnant. Well, we did and I am glad we did, even if that seems weird.

On a happier note, my nephew was born very early Saturday morning. Welcome baby Finn! We love you already!

We could use your prayers...

Well, I spent most of the night/morning in the ER last night. I started having bleeding/clotting shortly after David's work Christmas party yesterday. They ran a ton of tests and there are a few possibilities: I am extremely early pregnant with some bleeding and everything could be okay, I am in the process of a miscarriage, or I may have an ectopic pregnancy. We are hoping for the first but we know that God is in control and that He created this life and has the ability to sustain it - that is what we ask for. I have an appointment on Monday afternoon with my doctor to see where we are at. So that is the scoop from here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Well...

just wanted to let everyone know that we are expecting baby #4! We just found out yesterday. We were a little surprised and very excited. So that's the scoop from here. I will post more when I know it but I don't go to see my doctor until January.
