Two day check up.

Today, Amiyah Nevaeh had her two day checkup.  She had slipped down to 5lbs. 10 oz when she left the hospital, but was up to 11 oz. by this morning.  They had also miss measured her in length, so we have all the correct stats on this picture.  Mom and babe are both doing well.  

 

And here's a little Sophia G to make you smile.  All my grandbabies have such lovely personalities!

Happy Monday to you!

Welcome to the World, Amiyah Nevaeh!

 

Our precious fourth grand-baby was born today @ 3:21pm.  She weighs  5lbs. and 13 oz. and is 19 inches.  Both Jess and Amiyah are doing beautifully.  

Papa made us some delicious Belguim waffles for breakfast this morning....yum!

Sophia seemed to enjoy her first Belgium waffle. 

Amber's first Mother's Day....precious! 

This is going to be an eventful week for our family....we will be adding a new member.  Miss Amiyah will be here if not before Thursday ...on Thursday.  We are all so excited for Jessica and Jon!  

Hope you all had a wonderful day! 

 

Happy Mother's Day to our girls, Amber and Jessica.  You both are wonderful Moms!

This week....

Sorry I've been MIA this week...I've been majorly under the weather with sinuses.   Here's some pictures from this week.

We had one of our favorite dishes...Chicken Parmesan.   Yum!

I picked up this spring cactus for our kitchen table....the blooms are beautiful.

So bright and cheerful!

A lovely new addition to our mantle...the kids got us these lovely blocks for Mother's Day that say Welcome, Foley, Summer and Autumn.  I love it!  

After breakfast this morning....Papa and Sophia went outside to watch the birds and squirrels.  I love how she was peeping over Papa's shoulder to see me.   

She was all smiles for Nana! :)

All smiles..hanging with her Papa! 

What I'll be working on today.....reading list for the ancients, worldview lessons...SAT prep. 

Happy Saturday! 

 

What we do for fun at our house.....

Snuggle babies.....

 

Play with sweet babies....

Lots of peek a boo playing....

 

Life is good!

 

Menu plan for Wednesday, May 1- Tuesday, May 7th.

I'm finding that if I just plan a menu and stick to it...I have so much more time for the fun things in life.

I'm also finding that if I shop weekly for my menu, it's easier and I don't stress as much...we use it up in a week and we replenish our supply the next week with a new menu.

Happy Tuesday!

A precious little newborn baby hat for Amiyah.

Jessica reached 37 weeks today and is officially full term.  Now baby Amiyah can come at any time.  

I made this today to put in the big box of goodies I have set aside to go to Jessica and her sweet family.

I hope Amiyah will enjoy it, and it will keep her little newborn head nice and warm.  :)

On this project I used the small green loom and Lion Brand Yarn in New York White.

 

So, after I finished this one...I made another one just like it as a gift.   Then...I discovered this beautiful yarn --Bernat Baby super bulky---pink, blue, rose.
