OK – This blog is about a month too late to be at it’s peak of funniness, but it was such a great idea, I have to post it anyway. This is a brainchild of my husband’s – an idea that I think could have gone far as a Saturday Night Live sketch. Obviously, writing […]

Are you having one of those days where you wish you were at the beach? Well, Ali’s here to help. Here’s a video clip of her having the time of her life in the surf. Sit back and let her take you to the beach with you. Or let her make you wish you were […]

Eli Junkies! Sorry I haven’t given you an update in a few days. Here you go: My Dad sent this to JC and I a while back, so I thought I’d post it in hopes that it would be true by the end of the week :) Eli did get set back another day on […]

Today was my day to judge speeches at the Nationals for the NCFCA (National Christian Forensics and Communications Association – whew!). I judged a couple of years ago at the Regionals and had a blast, so I jumped at the invitation to judge at the Nationals (which are being held in Birmingham). The NCFCA is […]

We took Ali to the beach right over the bridge, which is great because it is shaded by the bridge. Also, it’s on the bay side, so the waves were gentle “lake” waves. Ali LOVED it. She had a blast! The pictures will commentate enough, so I’ll quit now, and let Ali tell you about […]

Sad news – Eli can’t come home today. His heart rate dropped in the middle of the night, so his 5 days of heart rate monitoring start over. He won’t get to come home until at least Thursday. JC and Lindsay are very disappointed, but know that its definitely better that it happened there than […]

I am relaxing on the couch, sipping a caffeine-free coke, watching the sunset over Wolf Bay at Orange Beach, and blogging – my favorite hobby. It’s completely quiet. Ali’s asleep, Chris and (his Aunt) Kitty are gone to the store, and Unka Leo is down in the basement working. Ahhh. . . it was all […]

JC and Lindsay just got a call from the hospital, and Eli gets to come home tomorrow!!!! YAY!We are leaving today to go down to the beach for the weekend, so I won’t be around for his homecoming :(, but HOPEFULLY they will take some GREAT pictures (hint, hint, JC, Lindsay, Mom and Dad!!), and […]

Before I get to today’s blog, I owe a picture of adorable puppies!!! These are my pup-nieces and pup-nephews! Aren’t they cute? Don’t you want one?!?!? Now, to today. Today was a Zoo day!!! Ali and I had to stop by work (job #1 – Slappey Telephone) before going to the zoo, though. Bill (Slappey) […]

Hello, Eli Readers!! I just talked to JC and got the update on Eli. He is still eating great – 45-50 cc’s! (45 cc’s is 1.5 ounces.) He is up to 3 pounds, 12 ounces! JC said that they could really tell how much he has grown, and that is very encouraging. However, he probably […]
