Meeting new people...

Today Ian and I went and had lunch with a friend, Sandy, who worked across the hall from me at AccuHealth. Anyways, we had lunch and then went back to her office and showed Ian off to the rest of the office, Dr. Flynn and his wife Nan. Then we went by my old job at Family Medical Supply and introduced Ian to my friend Kodi. After that we had one more stop, the Baptist Messenger, again an old job! However, when I got there the people I know weren't there. Oh, well I can always go back another time. So that was our day. Now we are just looking forward to Thanksgiving this week. Mmm, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pie! I can't wait.

Thankful Thursdays...

Today I come to you having just gotten back from the doctor and man it is windy out there! You may be wondering what this has to do with my Thankful Thursday post. Well today I am thankful for the car seat cover that we have for Ian. It seems like such a small thing, but it helps keep him warm and that is so important! Ian is doing so good at 9 weeks that I really don't want him to get sick anytime soon and keeping him from the wind will help keep him well!

Tell me what you are thankful for today by leaving a link to your blog or leave it in the comments!

Cheap gift bag idea...

Ok ya'll, with Christmas coming up I must admit the crafty side of me comes out. Now with that said I must also mention that MY crafty side has great ideas but once put together they aren't so cute. So this idea is not my own. I got it from a class they had at my church called Gifts 101. It was so fun. This is a cheap way to make a cute gift bag or use it as decoration for you house! I bought this cute bag at the dollar spot in Target (I know I should be banning them after my previous post, but come on people it was a dollar!) and then bought these sticker letters at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbook section (there are tons to chose from). Now I have a gift bag that is cute and cheap, It cost me two dollars, which is what most gift bags that are plain jane cost, if you want a cute one you will be paying more for sure!

For more ideas go to works for me wednesdays.

Two months old!

Today Ian is two months old! I can't believe it. He has grown so much. Today at his doctor appointment he weighed 9 pounds 9 ounces and was 22 3/4 inches long! Here is a picture at one month...

and a picture at two months...

Ian had to get shots at the doctor today. Three to be exact. It hurt so bad (well I am guessing by his crying that it hurt him so bad). Here is the before picture...

and after...

He actually had to take an oral vaccine to. The nurse said he did exceptionally well, because most babies cry when having to drink it because it doesn't taste good. Look at how well he did, he looks so calm...

Target.com

Oh my goodness. So Justin and I were so excited because my friend found a car seat online for only $46! Yes, I know it sounds to good to be true. Well we ordered it because we thought heck these car seats are usually over $200. I told several friends about it so they could buy one too. Then I get this email from target.com:

We were so very bummed! I was so looking forward to having another car seat to use in the other car and now we won't have one. UGH!

just a few pics...

Grant, Calvin, Ian and Hunter. The boys got together for lunch on Wednesday (ok, maybe it was the mommies who got together, but aren't they all so cute)!

Our little ladies man!

"mom stop taking pictures," thought Ian.

He makes this silly face all the time! So cute!

Thankful Thursdays...

So today I want to share two things I am thankful for! Yes I am just blessed that much :)

#1 - I am SO thankful for my wonderful husband! He is truly amazing. He takes care of Ian so I can sleep and he takes the early morning shift so that I don't have to get up twice in a row with the little guy. He plays with my hair and gives me neck massages and leg massages! He is so very wonderful and I am very thankful for him.

#2 - I never thought I would be so thankful to see a poopy diaper! Our little guy has been constipated since we switched to formula and our doctor told us to put Karo syrup in his bottle. So that had been working until this week. He went 3 days with out pooping. I called the doctor today and they were going to have us switch formulas to a more expensive brand. Thankfully soon after the phone call we had success!

So tell me what you are thankful for. Either leave the link to your page or leave a comment.
