Send Up a Little Prayer

This little boy is sick...


Thursday he gave us a scare. He left school with a 102 temp and when I got him to the doctor they said his temp was 105.6! My heart hit the floor. He has either the Fifth Disease or Roseola. Both are fever viruses and really contagious. Dr. Ellis told me I couldn't even go to work the next day because I might give it to the kids. So I had to miss the Christmas party for the kids. Walker missed his too. So, going by doctor's orders, we have been kept up in this house playing alot of Scrabble and watching alot of movies. Mary Ella, thank God, was not around Walker that day. I was so sad to hear she couldn't be around him till he was fever-free for 36 hours. I miss her so much! He could have his fever for 5 days, then we'll have to add another 36 hrs to that. Please send a little prayer up that he gets over his temp really fast and Mary Ella can come home soon. We miss her dearly. Thanks to everyone who has helped out with her. Oh, and not to forget, Walker really wants to go tell Santa what he wants for Christmas. I don't want him to miss out on seeing him this year... He really loves him now.

Random Pics


I know you've all just about given up on me and my ability to keep this blog updated, sorry. I thought since several things have transpired since my last "kiddo" update I would do several in one. So enjoy the random pics...

Zac goes hunting EVERY Thanksgiving so it was exciting this year when he decided to take Walker on his first rabbit hunt. The object isn't really to kill a rabbit, but rather run the beagles. Walker has tons of warm camo clothes, like overalls, but once again, he insisted on wearing the smallest and thinnest pants he could find. I thought I was only going to argue over what my daughter wears, not my son. And he's only three! At least he had his toy gun!



Grandaddy and Mary Ella


My fruit creation I got out of Disney Magazine that no one ate!



Thanksgiving tuckered them out... my sweet babies!


Walker's new Big Wheel he got from Nana and Granny Newman... He loves it!

Need I say anything?

I just wasn't in the "tree decorating" mood this year, so I let Walker do most of it for me. I think the high volume of ornaments around the bottom gives it character.

Mary Ella's first day dressed up for church. Not sure what her hair is doing in this pic.

Check This Out...


Okay, I've been meaning to post something for a while now. I have alot to share but for starters I have got to show this... My Fortune! During my pregnancy (July 19th) we were eating Chinese after church with Steve and Nicia. Walker opened my cookie and there sat the fortune that has become a priceless piece of paper. I thought I would hold on to it in case in came true since she was due around the time the fortune was referring to. Read the fortune and do the math... Mary Ella was born October 19th! I don't believe in the fortunes but read them for fun. However, this one was way too accurate and odd. I've never read a fortune cookie that specific. Just thought this was way too strange and unique not to share.
