A Little of This and A Little of That
We had a good weekend this past weekend. We got to celebrate Zack's 4th birthday with an afternoon at the park. I wish I had taken a picture of the park it was amazing. The money used to build that park was raised by a family with a handicap child, that passed away, but the park is handicap accessible and amazing! Campbell had her first ride on a swing, on my lap! Aren't these swings the coolest things ever, I told Brian I want on in our backyard.
After coming home from the birthday party, Brian began working on our garage storage shelves which are coming along rather nicely with some help from me, Brad D, Brad T and Chris....what home improvement project in our house would be complete without Chris! Really when I say me I mean I helped hang one board, yelled a little b/c I was tired of helping and Campbell was getting fussy...projects get harder when you have a balance a baby & a board!
We spent the rest of the afternoon with our neighbors and friends outside continuing to celebrate Zack's birthday and cooking out....thanks for having us over all afternoon Insley! Sunday morning we got up and went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel...yummy! We spent the rest of the day around the house with Brian working on the garage storage shelves some more and I tried avoiding the garage so that I wouldn't have to help...I can only take some many outside projects with my allergies! (Go ahead Dad and make the allergy joke about me and cutting the grass!
We tried to get Campbell's 6 month's pictures taken on Monday night at 5, which in my head I knew was a bad idea, that is her worst part of the day. Key word in that sentence was tried, they were a bust! She cried the entire time, so we have rescheduled the pictures for next Tuesday at 11 to see if that time will work better! She has 2 adorable outfits to wear so I really hope they turn out!

Before I Was A Mom
Before I Was A Mom
Before I was a mom, I made and ate hot meals, wore unstained clothes and had quiet conversations on the phone.
Before I was a mom, I never worried about how late I went to bed because I could sleep in as long as I wanted.
Before I was a mom, I washed my face and brushed my teeth everyday.
Before I was a mom, I enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee while reading the
morning newspaper on a Saturday morning.
Before I was a mom, I slept the whole night through.
Before I was a mom, my house was clean everyday and I didn't worry about whether or not my plants were poisonous.
Before I was a mom, I had never been puked on, pooped on, peed on, chewed on or pinched by little fingers.
Before I was a mom, I had complete control of my mind, thoughts and body.
Before I was a mom, I never held down a screaming child while doctors and nurses did tests or gave shots. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces because I couldn't stop the hurt.
Before I was a mom, I never knew how satisfying it is to feed a hungry
child. I never knew how fulfilling it is to soothe a baby's cries.
Before I was a mom, I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
Before I was a mom, I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
Before I was a mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never was up in the wee hours of the night just watching a baby while it slept. I never knew that something so small couldn't effect my life so tremendously.
Before I was a mom, I never knew I could love someone so unconditionally and completely.
Before I was a mom, I never knew the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
Before I was a mom, I never knew the warmth, the joy, the heartache, the
wonderment, or the fulfillment of being a mom.
Before I was a mom, I never knew I would love being a mom.

Campbell got me some beautiful lilies and a new pair of flip flops & the cutest card for Mother's Day! I am so lucky to be her mommy and I love every moment I get to spend with her...even when she is driving me crazy! Brian also got me a sweet card and some new floor mats for my car.
Yesterday we headed over to my parents for an afternoon cookout to celebrate Colin's graduation. It was nice to see Colin's parents & his brother Simon again.
CONGRATULATIONS COLIN!

Campbell's Baptism
We had Campbell baptized last Sunday at Trinity UMC, the same church that I was baptized at. She also wore the same Christening gown that Katie & I both wore. We started a family tradition and monogrammed all of our initials and the date of our baptism along the bottom hem of the dress. So Katie & I will just pass the gown back and forth for all of our future kids. I love things like this!
Campbell did a great job all day on Sunday, she didn't cry during her baptism and hardly made a peep during the service, just a little bit of baby talk to keep everyone entertained. After the service we took some family pictures and a picture with the ministers. Then we rushed home to get all the food out for our luncheon that we had afterward! I am so glad that all our family and friends could be there to celebrate Campbell's special day. Brian suggested that we use the delay start feature on our oven to start warming up the ham biscuits before we got home and that worked out perfectly. I think I will have to remember that feature and use it more often!
We had wonderful food that Noni, Aunt Katie, Colin, Andrea, Brian & I prepared. We had ham biscuits, deli spirals, deviled eggs, fruit salad, pasta salad and of course a Ukrops cake! What event would be complete without a Ukrops cake, I am so glad that when Martin's bought Ukrops they left the bakery & prepared foods...yummy!
