Busy Busy

Well I have been busy lately....... I have been so icky sick I feel very crappy but anyway Monday night we had Keelin's Thanksgiving program at school and it was awesome. The kids were so great I almost cried it was so fantastic. The kids were so perfect and proud it was such a neat thing. Unfortunately my drama baby did something I don't know what at the reception after the program and we had to take her to the ER because she had pulled her elbow out of socket!!!!!! Tuesday night I had a presentation at school that I was nervous about and proceeded to have a coughing fit(thanks to my cold)in the middle of my presentation! oh well! Then today we went to the zoo with my grandmother. Tomorrow is turkey day so hopefully I will feel better!

TWERDS!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEELIN

Today November 14 is Keelin Kate McElreath's 7th birthday. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. She was so perfect and cute. She was 8lbs 2 oz. She was born at 6:41 pm at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md. I can not believe she is 7 today and she is in the 1st grade! Tonight we will be off for a night of birthday fun and we are going to make a stop at the American Girl store. She is very excited!

the sad thing about this picture is how much i have aged in 7 years. i look like i am 14!!!!!

My crazy cute silly baby

I had to post these pictures. Yesterday Keelin and I got home from the store and when we walked in Shawn was sound asleep sawing logs on the couch and Kinsey was passed out on the floor in front of the TV, like she was playing and just fell over. I have NEVER seen her do that.

Then today I was doing the daily "chores" and i was in the back of the house and Kinsey was all over the house but I had play with me sesame or whatever that's called on in the living room. So I come out there to check on her and I see her sitting quietly in front of the TV. I think oh how cute what a good girl! then she turns around. She had found a Halloween peppermint patty and had squished it till it melted and popped out of the wrapper. When she turned around I gasped and said Kinsey in the oh my gosh voice and she immediately gave me her squinched face smile that says "what? me? but I am sooo cute!" so I just laughed and took her picture then hosed her down. I love this crazy weird face she makes!

Happy Birthday

I wasn't going to do a post about this but i guess I changed my mind. 15 years ago today I had a baby. She was 7 lbs 4.9 oz. She was perfect. Her parents named her Erin. That was a very hard day for me and I guess still is. It's funny I don't even know I am cranky about it until I suddenly realize the date on the calendar. I mourned her adoption for about 2 years thinking back. I didn't really understand my feelings then but I get it now. I know it was the right decision but it is still sad. I wonder what she looks like now? The last pictures I have are from when she was 6 or 7. I would like to be a fly on the wall for a day! So anyway Happy Birthday Erin! I love you forever!
