a&m

the day madelyn was born, my friend michelle also got married. i was the photographer. matt was the emcee. alex and michelle were so happy. it was a good time.

as flickrallyouwant said, michelle is our very own audrey hepburn.

they are such models. especially alex.

the girls all wore blue shoes. it was fun.

rick was a groomsmen. good not only in back of the camera, but also in front.

the MC. he was funny.

i was busy, so matt had to dance with the smith's.

we did get a moment to pose for a photo.

it was a beautiful wedding and we were so happy to be apart of it!

"rustic fall"

i told traci that i was doing an inspiration board today. she asked what it was. and i said i am going to call it "rustic fall." but, after putting it together, maybe it should be rustic christmas. either way, it works.

introducing...

madelyn jean. born 11.21.09. 4lb 8oz 18in. she is beautiful. momma and baby girl are doing great.

update?

well, i am thinking that 'no news is good news' does not really apply to labor, but that is the case right now. i have not seen kel today, but mom says she's doing good. pray things move along a little faster.

madi (sp?) jean

i am here at the hospital with my champ of a sister waiting for my niece to make her appearance. kelli came in today for a few dr. appt's (she is 34 weeks and 3 days) and was admitted and induced around 7:30pm. so, now we wait. pray for kel. we don't quite know how long it will take but most likely kel and corey will be introduced to their little one sometime tomorrow. (my prediction is tomorrow afternoon.) keep them in your prayers. i will try and post updates on here as they come.

lu.

this face makes me smile.
i can't wait till i'm all better and can give her lots of kisses.

oink.

sorry if you came looking for a decorating board today, but there will be none. i'm bogged down with the swine flu and am quite woozy at the moment. so, it will have to wait till next week.

today is day 5 of H1N1. sitting on the couch all day is getting a little old and i miss seeing people from the outside world. i am so very grateful for sharpie who decided to get the swine flu at the exact same time as me. we commiserate and watch tlc together. i have started making a list of things i can't wait to do when i'm finally allowed out of the house.

-go to anthropologie.
-go to chick-fil-a
-go shopping with traci.
-go see kelli.
-go to goodwill to look for a sewing machine.
-go to jo-ann fabrics.

basically, just being able to go anywhere.
