Tate Farms Slideshow

Tate Farms 2009

Tim was able to get a pass and come home for the weekend. We decided to take the girls to Tate Farms for some fun! Last year we determined that Mimi would come down this time of year and go with us but the flu kept her home. We missed Mimi this trip. Caydence was a perfect age to have fun on all the playgrounds they had set up and in the corn and cotton filled bins. She was super excited to pet a bunny since that was her favorite from last year. First she held a white bunny who was really sweet. Next she picked out a black bunny to hold and when daddy was holding him she went to pet. The bunny bit her! =( Had to go to the office for first aide. The folks were really nice but didn't seem too organized on getting the 'incident report' or getting her cleaned up. I had to pull out baby wipes to get the blood off. They did provide bandaids and saline rinse. By the time that was finished Bella had fallen asleep on her daddy! Luckily we brought the wagon! Caydence and Daddy rode the corn-cob train. I got pics of it but they are blurry since I am still getting used to my camera. I will post all the fun pics next. Enjoy!

Got proofs from the tea party pics! I am SO excited. I love them. I hope you all love them too! I ordered a 4x6 of each of the girls for each of our parents. Placed the order on Monday so hopefully we will have them in a couple of weeks!!! Photog didn't post them to her blog but if you are interested email me and I will get you the 'proof' website to view.

Booked photo session called "vintage icecream" with a different but equally great photog in our area. That sitting is on Sept. 21st. SO....Bella's 8 month pics will be just snap shots. I will try to get a good one. And once I finally do I PROMISE to try REALLY REALLY hard to develop beach pics and include the great one we decided to make her official 6 month pic!

We are so fortunate to be able to get the girls to professional photogs so often this year! They are offering AWESOME opportunities at irresistable prices. =) But then we have to buy the pics! LOL! Ofcourse they are Soooo worth it!

I hope everyone is having a BLESSED day! TIM, we MISS YOU and LOVE YOU! I will be mailing you a package out on Saturday.

To Daddy From Caydence

My Daddy is a hero
Fighting in a war.
I am too small to understand it
I just wish I could see him more.

I miss him in the morning
Each and every day
And I miss him in the afternoon
Because we’d run and play

I miss him at bed time
Reading Good Night Moon .
I wish this war was over
So I could see him soon.

Each night he’s in my prayers
And this much is true,
I’m still Daddy’s Little Girl,
And I love and miss him too!

To Daddy From Bella

I’m Daddy’s Angel Bella
With a sweet smiling face.
My Daddy is gone for now
Fighting a war in another place.

And though I’m still a baby
My legs still kick with joy
Whenever I can hear
My daddy’s soothing voice.

I know my daddy loves me,
Even though he’s far away.
I can’t wait until he’s home for good
To watch me grow each day!

My Husband, My Hero

I've spoken with Tim in the last week on and off as his time has allowed. I wanted to let everyone know that he is doing ok. When he gets to his final destination I will send out his address. Once he is there he will also have a better idea of things he might be needing. I have had lots of folks asking me what they can send him so I will let you all know things as soon as I find out. Thank you all for your continued prayers for his safety. Thank you all for the continued help and support of me and the girls while daddy's away.

Four Days Leave

The girls and I were able to visit with Tim for a few days at Ft. Walton Beach with the help of Jeannette. THANK YOU JEANNETTE! It was a very nice trip. The weather was beautiful, the girls and their daddy enjoyed playing on the beach making sand castles, sliding on the rock slide, and falling asleep together. Tim and I enjoyed dinner with and without the girls and a great walk on the beach. Watching Tim leave us again was more difficult than the first send off ceremony. Tough for both of us to swallow since we know the road ahead. Please pray for his safe return to us.

Tim

Very excited. Only 7 more days until we get to see Tim. =) It feels bitter sweet though because it means we are much closer to him actually leaving the US for the Army. I know my girls will be so excited to see their daddy though. And I can't wait to capture the look on their faces on camera!

Pig Flu

The pig flu, swine flu, N1H1, whatever you want to call it...it's been diagnosed in 2 Madison children in kindergarden. Madison City, Huntsville City, and Madison County schools are all closed through Monday. The elementary school with the students is closed 7 days. Now, I don't want my girls sick, but from what I'm hearing this flu lasts less time than the normal flu and has not been nearly as deadly. So what gives?
