Wordless Wednesday: Someone Forget To Teach Rich How To Fly A Kite!

In all seriousness, though, he tried his best and in doing so made Shiloh extremely happy. Even though he was kind of embarassed, due to my teasing him, he kept trying because he's an awesome dad like that.

Austin's Baptism Weekend (A Lot Of Pics)

This past weekend Shiloh and I were in North Carolina for my nephew Austin's baptism. It was such a great weekend full of family, kite flying, Yo Gabba Gabba watching, hide and seeking, chalk drawing, and not so great professional picture taking of all three grandkids.

Wordless Wednesday: Our House Guest

Easter

I hope everyone had a blessed and happy Easter! We went to church here in the Loganville area for the first time since moving. We went to the church Rich and I used to attend with his parents before his mom passed away. It was a nice service but I think we are going to continue looking for our church. The demographic there has definitely gone to the 55 and over crowd....which is fine, but we would like to find a church that has more people our age. That was one thing we enjoyed about Cornerstone in Athens.

Anyway, after church we visited with Rich's coworker/friend and his family for a nice Easter dinner and egg hunt. It was nice to spend Easter with family, even though it was someone else's family. And Shiloh loved the Easter egg hunt and actually found quite a few eggs herself. I was pretty proud!

Also, on our way to Dale's house we picked up a little Pug that was roaming a very busy road. We brought him home and are planning on putting up signs this evening near where we found him in case his owners are looking for him. If we don't get a response from the owners we will be giving him away. He seems like a very good dog. I might want to keep him if we didn't already have two. Two dogs are MORE than enough for me.

Madeline Spohr

A little girl, only one month younger than Shiloh, tragically passed away last night. She was born November 11, 2007 three months premature. After 68 days in the NICU she was sent home and had since grown into a healthy, happy toddler. She was taken to the hospital Monday afternoon with a cough/some congestion. Tuesday evening she was intubated and passed away later that night.

Maddie's mom, Heather, has plans to participate in the March of Dimes March for Babies this month. Heather and her husband, Mike, have asked that in lieu of flowers people donate to the March of Dimes in Maddies name. I've added a link below if anyone feels compelled to do so. I don't know this family. I believe they live in California. I just can't imagine what they are going through and want to show my support for them in whatever way possible I can.





Remember Maddie
