A "work" in progress

My office is being remodeled and its taking forever!! Next week I get my new carpet and then comes my new furniture :) I wish I had taken pictures of the office before..many people likened it to a baby nursery due to the decor. It had wallpaper with clouds and there were flowers and a picket fence with dragonflies and FAERIES flitting about through the scenery. Yes, I have worked with faeries for 8.5 years! So far we have painted the walls and installed the new tile floor shown here. More pics to follow as we go along.

Harvest Moon

Its times like these that I wish I had a camera with a telefoto lense. The moon looked MUCH larger than it does in this picture! Tonight there is a hint of fall in the air and I absolutely love it!! Soon we will be smelling the smoke billowing from fireplaces and we will actually have to wear hoodies/jackets. Fall is my favorite season. I love the sights, the smells and the tastes of it.

Friday Night Lights

I have been watching my lil man play drums since he was 8 year old. I am so amazed at what a natural he is at them. Tonight was his first performance in marching band. We all went to watch the game and be a part of his excitement. When we saw him, drumming cadences and getting the crowd pumped up our faces beamed with pride. Katy even said, "Yep, if you look up cool in the dictionary, you'll see Bubba's picture!" Many years ago I was in the marching band and its so cool to be able to have that in common with my boy. Looks like there will many more Friday Night lights in our future. Rock on little man!

My 9/11 Baby

I still cannot wrap my brain around the fact that my baby turned 4 today...Rewind back to 5 years ago..my life was in an upheaval. At the time, it seemed my life was spiraling our of control. Bad news kept coming. Then in the midst of the turmoil and heartache comes the news that I was pregnant and at first I was scared to death. I mean I already had a 14 year old and a 9 year old and yet I was terrified. I remember sitting in my room praying to God and clear as can be I heard, "you can trust me. If you do, everything will be ok". So I trusted Him. In return he gave me the most amazing gift..a daughter. She has been a healing baby. She is our joy and reminder that good can indeed come from horrible circumstances. How appropriate and fitting that she was born on 9/11.

Today we had a party for our baby and she had the best time. Our family was not complete until she came to be with us. Happy Birthday Pumpkin..mama loves you!! :)

Beautiful Bouquet

Look what was on my desk waiting for me today! They are really pretty and such a surprise because its not like my birthday or anniversary or something :) I think thats why they are so special. Thanks to Rick and Debra for thinking of me..you really made my weekend!!

Kaymae Faulkner, Photographer

I am always giving Kayden my digital camera to take random pictures. I really like this picture even though I have no idea what it is!! ha ha I will continue to post her pics from time to time because you never know she may be a famous photographer one day!!

Maw Maw's Mini- Me

My Mom has been taking care of my pumpkin since the day she was born. Its been a joy to watch my mom with her because I now know how she was with me when I was a little person. Boy, I was a lucky bug (still am)! Kayden is very much like her maw maw. If you watch them together you can see the similarities. We often giggle when we see Kayden mimic mom. She's like a 3 year old grandma sometimes. She literally repeats my mom some days. "You be careful Mama. you could get hurt" or "thats not nice bubba! say sorry.." or "thats berry dangerous boo boo, don't do that" are some of her favorite lines. She is gonna be 4 on saturday..can't wait to see what the next year brings for her :)
