As well as the wife of a wonderful man, Doug. This blog is about me and my family. Thanks for visiting.Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563403887273211473noreply@blogger.comBlogger557125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648115684624928252.post-25443774339983808382012-02-24T23:30:00.001-05:002012-02-24T23:30:06.083-05:00I have been thinking...So, I have a real desire to start blogging again. I have been having a lot of ah-ha moments lately and feel like writing them down would be helpful... For me anyway. <br />
<br />
In doing this, I have also decided that I will probably change my blog a bit, because even though much of what I have blogged about before has been about my babies, I want to tell my story. I want something for my children to look back on, and realize that these are my memories, as I have them. I will continue to talk about my kiddos, but I want to take center stage a bit more, I know some of my readers are no longer following me, which is ok. I am going to blog for me... And if someone else reads it and gets something from my musings, awesome! If not, that Is ok too. :) <br />
<br />
So, coming soon(i.e., when I get to my husband's shop), I will give you a fresh look that hopefully will change things up.

Tonight at 10:55 pm my sweet little girl walked into the living room where I was sitting and said, "Ok, I am ready mommy! Pull it!"<br />
<br />
And so... I did! She had already loosened it up a lot with her tongue, so it was easy! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D_TmvWuV6Mk/Tz3Zs1XTYVI/AAAAAAAADyw/Dt2TBPHwrP0/s640/blogger-image-146719387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D_TmvWuV6Mk/Tz3Zs1XTYVI/AAAAAAAADyw/Dt2TBPHwrP0/s640/blogger-image-146719387.jpg" /></a></div>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563403887273211473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648115684624928252.post-41233337586301942542011-12-23T23:43:00.001-05:002011-12-23T23:43:56.866-05:00Merry ChristmasDear friends, I pray that you all have a very Merry Christmas! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fk8aKouIYvM/TvVYhh1F3TI/AAAAAAAADyQ/acnobgQmDFc/s640/blogger-image--602371184.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fk8aKouIYvM/TvVYhh1F3TI/AAAAAAAADyQ/acnobgQmDFc/s640/blogger-image--602371184.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s5VSI-7fUOI/TvVYiP1945I/AAAAAAAADyY/hDWel1sV_Tk/s640/blogger-image--1665047079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s5VSI-7fUOI/TvVYiP1945I/AAAAAAAADyY/hDWel1sV_Tk/s640/blogger-image--1665047079.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-U6n38pDSBfg/TvVYiaU7IrI/AAAAAAAADyg/MCBY8BH_Xps/s640/blogger-image--1735099715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-U6n38pDSBfg/TvVYiaU7IrI/AAAAAAAADyg/MCBY8BH_Xps/s640/blogger-image--1735099715.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hQS6Cx5e7-w/TvVYixTb_JI/AAAAAAAADyo/dF7qj8zoia4/s640/blogger-image-1692138408.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hQS6Cx5e7-w/TvVYixTb_JI/AAAAAAAADyo/dF7qj8zoia4/s640/blogger-image-1692138408.jpg" /></a></div>Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563403887273211473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648115684624928252.post-9084405863420200552011-10-21T09:20:00.001-04:002011-10-21T09:20:17.408-04:00Happy Birthday Jackson!!!<p>I can’t believe that it has been 2 years since this beautiful little boy came into our lives!

I love to reminisce about the past and sometimes get a bit teary eyed when doing this. I have a pretty good memory, so it is not hard for me to recall things from the past. </p> <p>I can remember as far back as when I was 3 years old begging my mom and dad for a Wonder Woman Barbie doll! </p> <p>I remember being 3, almost 4, and living in North Carolina for a few months while my dad was on temporary assignment with his work.  </p> <p>Being 5 years old and swinging with my new friend on the swing’s during recess in Kindergarten (by the way… this person also happens to be <a href="http://kyfirewife.blogspot.com/">Firewife</a>!!!). Yep… we have known each other for that long! </p> <p>So, last night, I was hit with a feeling of nervous anticipation when I went back to my old High School for my niece’s Kindergarten graduation. When I walked in the doors of that building, it was as if no time had passed. Everything was (almost) all the same. There were a few changes made, but for the most part… the same. The changes were small, but noticeable, all the same. </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-bpjXAi0NjWE/TeeRA4s-wEI/AAAAAAAADms/f_f9joRal9w/s1600-h/DSCN1093%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN1093" border="0" alt="DSCN1093" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-A7Z0uZx_47A/TeeRBR0Lp7I/AAAAAAAADmw/29GPseeYsnY/DSCN1093_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1o9NVLcneUU/TeeRCDGcXsI/AAAAAAAADm0/7nRJf5xuOkc/s1600-h/DSCN1095%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN1095" border="0" alt="DSCN1095" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZZv91zP7Wcg/TeeRCqWG3UI/AAAAAAAADm4/FIvEjoRTf0o/DSCN1095_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-rXA9VHzVROI/TeeRDya21BI/AAAAAAAADm8/3afvBpaionU/s1600-h/DSCN1102%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN1102" border="0" alt="DSCN1102" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-p5fisrpi0y4/TeeREKiMb3I/AAAAAAAADnA/l4BPxBHMY1Q/DSCN1102_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PvTB5jrC2d0/TeeRFUQ-tSI/AAAAAAAADnE/cbQpMFPMImw/s1600-h/DSCN1104%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCN1104" border="0" alt="DSCN1104" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-T54MSdYgZJk/TeeRF6yv5TI/AAAAAAAADnI/9tecwl-_Mio/DSCN1104_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a></p> <p>These halls hold a lot of memories for me and my friends… we walked these halls and ran these halls for so long that we never thought that we would get out… and once we did, just like everyone said, there are days I truly wish I could get that time back. Pause it. And just… soak it in. </p> <p>I guess I am kind of writing this for those kids that are graduating this year, who are probably just itching to grow up, and what I would say to them is… take your time. Being a grown up is not all it is cracked up to be. There are more and more days lately that I wish I were back in my old bedroom at my parents house, sleeping in  my big old waterbed(yes!… I had a waterbed!!!), and having sleepover’s with my friends. </p> <p>Now, don’t get me wrong… I love my life(most days). And I love my family(all days!!!). But, to be able to go back, and relive some of it, and maybe do a few things different… I would. </p> <p>So in closing… (does this sound like a commencement address? Ha ha!)… I will leave you with this… a few pics from my nieces kindergarten graduation! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wYEDJD2DD9c/TeeRGHUHN4I/AAAAAAAADnM/GtzTBY46GOE/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" /> Have a great day!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XJvv6_aieWQ/TeeRHKHML8I/AAAAAAAADnQ/HkNxUJWX6d8/s1600-h/DSCN1096%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

I was praying earlier in the week for me to have a chance to spend some time with all of them together, but just didn’t think that it would actually happen. Thankfully, God made a way! </p> <p>Their family is only all together once every 2 years, at Christmas.</p> <p>You see… </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1Jf2Y53mI/AAAAAAAADcs/b21tE0FsyUU/s1600-h/DSC_0723%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0723" border="0" alt="DSC_0723" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1JgsPEwrI/AAAAAAAADcw/6gljZIAhofo/DSC_0723_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="229" height="347" /></a></p> <p>Marc and Lisa live and L.A. and usually only get to come home for Christmas and occasionally during the summer, but not very often.

They live in Missouri and are getting ready to move Texas sometime this summer to begin a Baptist church with some of their friends that they attended bible college with. Michelle is such a sweetheart and has such a loving heart. She, along with her sister Tiffany, sang in our wedding. She is also a very accomplished musician and has a beautiful voice.</p> <p>And here is Tiffany and her sweet family. Justin is the Youth minister at their church and Tiffany runs a daycare/preschool out of their home. And of course, their cute little ones, Hayden and their newest addition, Ashtyn. <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1J6tTwMXI/AAAAAAAADc8/msXBJVeIRpg/s1600-h/DSC_0709%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0709" border="0" alt="DSC_0709" align="left" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1J8PMr73I/AAAAAAAADdA/XeeJ3mjgFy0/DSC_0709_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="191" height="289" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1KO_heXGI/AAAAAAAADdE/gKsjdQSC2c4/s1600-h/DSC_0838%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0838" border="0" alt="DSC_0838" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1KQOjLPQI/AAAAAAAADdI/wHuDaXk58KA/DSC_0838_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="191" height="284" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1KRBNOHxI/AAAAAAAADdM/IQ-UpW0hLLc/s1600-h/DSC_0854-3%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0854-3" border="0" alt="DSC_0854-3" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1KRt87nhI/AAAAAAAADdQ/NWtSnCxKGV8/DSC_0854-3_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="318" height="219" /></a></p> <p>Finally, we have the youngest of the family… </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1KSo6JuRI/AAAAAAAADdU/bZe79A5eOzc/s1600-h/DSC_0674%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0674" border="0" alt="DSC_0674" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TS1KTS4WwGI/AAAAAAAADdY/jWFEx4RH_hA/DSC_0674_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="229" height="342" /></a></p> <p>Daniel and Kara… aren’t they just adorable?!

The first, in front of the little stone house, is just AWESOME! I am not a professional photographer by any means… but this one is my favorite picture!!! It could have something to do with the fact that the four couples in it are just precious to me, but I can’t put into words how much I love it.

Grace had been staying the night at my mom’s one night and the next morning mom called me. She said that she had to tell me something that Grace had said the night before. She said that they had been sitting in the family room looking at her Christmas tree and I am not sure what prompted it, but I think they were talking about her tree and how pretty it was. Mom said that Grace looked at her and said, “But Mammaw, we don’t have a Christmas tree! We need to get one!”</p> <p>Of course, when mom told me this, she thought that it was cute, but I started sobbing. It made me very sad to know that Grace was upset over there being no Christmas tree in our home. At that point… I knew what I had to do. </p> <p>Now, let me ask you… do you know how hard it is to find a Christmas tree just a few days before Christmas. I knew exactly what I was looking for, but also knew that I was looking for something that I could afford without going crazy overboard. </p> <p>So, the day before Christmas Eve, mom and I headed out and started my search. I had found a rather inexpensive tree, that I thought would work and then we went to Target and found the cutest shatter-proof bulbs, matching beads and even some cheap garland that would look perfect. I even went to Cracker Barrel and found ornaments specifically for Grace and Jack. You will see those in a second… </p> <p>Christmas Eve got here and I had a photo shoot that morning for Doug’s Aunt and Uncle’s family, then I went to have lunch with my hubby. They day was perfect! We had a wonderful lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant and then I headed home to get the Christmas tree up and ready to decorate before Grace and Jack got home from her Grandma and Grandpa McClain’s house. They were watching them that morning while I was taking the pics and Doug said that he would just go  and get them after he got off work. </p> <p>Once I got home, I started cleaning up the house, which took longer than I had hoped. By the time that the kids got home, I was still trying to get the room ready for the tree. I went to my room and pulled out the small tree that I had picked out and brought it into the family room for Grace to see. When I pulled it out of the box… I wanted to cry. It was smaller than I had expected, so my idea of what it would actually look like in my head was not going to be met. When I showed it to Grace, being the honest 3 year old that she is, she looked at it, with eyes that just about broke my heart, and she said, “No mommy… we need a tree like mammaw’s! We need one like mammaw’s.”</p> <p><em> </em>I looked at her and tried to smile and said, “Hold on Grace, mommy will be right back.”</p> <p>Immediately, I called my mom and started sobbing, of course, not where Grace could see/hear me. Mom, quickly came up with a plan. She had kept her older tree that we used for years and said that I could come and get it. It was a six foot tree, but I was only wanting a smaller tree that I could put on a stepstool in our family room and keep away from Jack. She suggested that I only put up the top half of the tree, making it about 4 1/2’ tall. I told her that I would talk to Doug and see what he would suggest. </p> <p>I went into the bathroom, where Doug was in the shower, and sobbed. I mean… I cried for about 5 minutes explaining everything. He was so sweet, he agreed that going to mom’s was probably the best idea, since we didn’t have a lot of money and it was about 15 minutes before all of the stores would close for the night and would not open again until the day after Christmas. </p> <p>I went back into the family room and looked at Grace and again, asked a 3 year old, “Grace, do you like our Christmas tree?”</p> <p>She tilted her head to the side and said, more like she was a teenager, “Yeah… it’s ok mommy. I mean, it is kinda little, but it is nice.”</p> <p>I had to laugh a little at her honest response and knowing how much she loved my mom’s big beautiful tree, I just knew what I had to do.</p> <p>So, I headed out, without even saying goodbye to the kids and snuck down to my mom and dad’s. Mom and dad had gone out to their garage and dug out the old tree, put it into a Rubbermaid box and  even had a pan of lasagna ready for me to take home and bake for dinner. We got it loaded into my car and before I left, she even pulled some lights off one of her bushes in case I didn’t have enough at the house(which I didn’t!). I left their, more hopeful than ever, but still nervous about Doug’s reaction. </p> <p>When I got home, I quickly threw the lasagna in the oven and started to put the tree together. It was kind of tricky because the base was REALLY old and thankfully… Doug was willing to help a little. I am really thankful that his heart has softened enough to make my Christmas more special than I have had in years. </p> <p>Here are a few pictures of our decorating…</p> <p>As you can see, Grace was so excited. This for me made the wait well worth it. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TSldmVJgJFI/AAAAAAAADUY/-Vn9bHIqfIE/s1600-h/DSC_0869_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px;

I had a ton of presents to wrap that night. I will be sure to plan better next year! </p> <p>So, that is the story of how I finally got my first Christmas tree. I am not really sure at this point what I want you to get out of this, but I hope that you hear a story of hope and happiness. This was a very special night for me, and one I am sure I will not forget anytime soon. </p> Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563403887273211473noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648115684624928252.post-5452059573919480132011-01-09T13:56:00.000-05:002011-01-11T13:57:17.245-05:009/365<p>Cousins playing dress up!

You may ask. Well, this was the very first year in 6 1/2 years of being a married woman, that I had my very own Christmas tree…. in my own home. </p> <p>Now… letting me just say right now: I know that Christmas is not about having Christmas trees, getting presents and decorating things with pretty colored lights, garland and tinsel. I know that Christmas is about our Savior’s birth and to celebrate the greatest gift we have ever been given… Jesus Christ, or Lord and Savior.</p> <p>However… it does not change the fact that I still dreamed of having a Christmas tree and my babies waking up on Christmas morning with presents around the tree… just as I had done 30 something years ago as a little child. It was a tradition that I never thought that I would not be able to repeat in my own home.</p> <p>You see, my husband comes from a church that does not celebrate Christmas. So, every year, I would be respectful of his wishes and would go to mom’s house, help her put up her Christmas tree, and do without at home. I knew when we got married that this could be an issue, but our first Christmas together, he came to my parents home, celebrated with us. He even, for my mom’s 50th birthday that year, went to a local nursery and helped me pick out a beautiful live Christmas tree(we had NEVER had a live tree before and we thought that it would be a cool surprise for her. So, after that first year together, I really thought that it might not even be an issue. Of course, it was.</p> <p>The first 2 or 3 years I would decorate our home with snowmen and winter-ish decorations. I was happy with this. It was fun, and festive and made me feel like it was still a part of my dreams of having Christmas in my home, but not hurt my husbands feelings. Deep down though… I missed having a tree.</p> <p>Then… Grace came along. </p> <p>Grace was only 4 1/2 months old her first Christmas and with the exhaustion of being a first time mom, I honestly didn’t give putting up a tree a thought that year. I don’t even think I put out my snowmen, and didn’t really even think about it. The same went for her second Christmas… I just helped mom as usual put up her tree, and had fun doing it, but didn’t really miss it at my own home, for the mere fact that Grace was into everything. It was no big deal. Then, Grace turned 2 and things changed.</p> <p>Last Christmas was a very hard time for Doug and I. We fought a lot and I know that it was because of our differences in religious beliefs, but honestly… I think a lot of it was me, wanting my tree. That Christmas morning, I had a few little gift for Gracie, but it wasn’t anything big. I was still trying to not hurt feelings, but I was still going to have my Christmas morning. I was pushing the envelope a little, and it went ok. There was no tree, but that didn’t really matter. Grace was still too little to understand the reason why mammaw Trish had a tree and we didn’t. Of course… I did.</p> <p>Not long after the new year things got worse between Doug and I. On top of that, I was in a bit of a depression. I was in denial… but I will save that for another post. </p> <p>We decided shortly after the new year that we needed some help. We began therapy… again, I will save this for another post as well. I am saying all of that to get to this: I wanted a Christmas tree.</p> <p>As the year passed, we talked about it a few times in therapy, and a lot of other things that we were dealing with, but this one thing came up every once in a while. Honestly, I didn’t think that I would ever get my way, but it was worth a try. </p> <p>Thanksgiving came and while hubs was gone hunting with my dad and brother, Grace and Jack and I headed down to my mom’s house to stay a few nights. While we were there, we helped put her tree up, as we had been doing for years. I love my mommy’s tree! It is the prettiest tree and has so many special memories for me. The ornaments that she fills the tree with have so many special meanings to us.</p> <p>This is her tree from this year. </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TSgF1CO52QI/AAAAAAAADRg/h2QWI8Egoo8/s1600-h/DSC_01105.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0110" border="0" alt="DSC_0110" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TSgF2X6cswI/AAAAAAAADRk/3p49amgTxDc/DSC_0110_thumb6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="291" height="607" /></a></p> <p>And while we were putting it up.

LOL!</p> <p>Anyway… as Christmas got closer and closer, I was being asked by our therapist if I was going to get a tree. Of course, I would start crying and we would discuss it some more.</p> <p>I was stalling. What was I afraid of? When we were in therapy talking about it, Doug never said that I couldn’t get one, but I knew that he would not be helping me. If I was going to do it, I had to do it on my own. </p> <p>At least, that is the way I saw it.</p> <p>Part 2… coming soon.</p> <p>Thank you for reading.</p> <p>Much Love,</p> <p>Gracie and Jack’s momma! </p> Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563403887273211473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648115684624928252.post-37549316575969272622011-01-07T13:43:00.000-05:002011-01-11T13:49:47.760-05:007/365-faces only a mother could love<p>Yes… they are a bit ridiculous.

It had started snowing before I left to get her and there is a really scary hill that when I started going down the hill on our way home, my brakes stopped working and I started sliding, scaring the poo out of me. Causing me to cry and thank Jesus for his protection the rest of the way home. So… I was very glad that she was asleep during and after that. </p> <p>Sorry… just had to share. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-left-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_WCf3MyAJKI0/TSbGwsII9wI/AAAAAAAADQ0/OMF9jDIdi8U/wlEmoticon-smile%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" /> Have a good night! </p> Candacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02563403887273211473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648115684624928252.post-60288578498920163042011-01-05T21:26:00.000-05:002011-01-08T21:26:21.471-05:005/365<p>I know is seems like all I do is take pics of Jack lately… but Gracie has been staying at her mammaw’s a lot the last few days.
