Pictures of Caitlyn

Here we are waiting for Caitlyn to make her arrival. My little sister about to have her first child.
Chad my brother in law holding Caitlyn for the first time.
Nana... She will be watching Caitlyn just like my girls....
Papa, yes another girl has arrived.
Here we are at the hospital today visiting Caitlyn.

Emma was so excited to see Caitlyn. Izzie told her hi. We brought her an Emily Ray bracelet.
Still can't believe I am finally an aunt!
Here she is.. all 5lbs and 14ounces of her!
The girls getting a little crazy at the hospital
Emma was so proud to be able to hold her!

I'm an Aunt!

Got a call at 6:30AM this morning that my Christie, my sister was at the hospital and she thought she was in labor. They admitted her around 8 and Caitlyn was born at 12:45 this afternoon. She was not due for another 3 weeks. Christie had the best labor ever. In 4 hrs she was fully dilated and only pushed for about 15 minutes and Caitlyn was here. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong with my own deliveries! :)

So welcome to the World Caitlyn Elaine Pruitt. She's a beautiful baby weighing in at 5lbs and 14oz. She's got a full head of dark curly hair of course!

Pictures to come.....

The Chin (long story short)

I get a call from Emma's school this morning at 10am and they tell me that Emma fell on the playground and busted her chin. They thought it needed stitches. Now my child hates cuts. I remember one time she got a paper cut on her finger and you would have thought her finger got cut off. When I got to the school it was much worse than I could have pictured. She had a huge gash. Off we went to the Dr. She was a true trooper. They had to tie her down on a board so they could do what they needed to do. I really felt helpless. Can't describe the moments that followed but she finally got stitched up and only cried a little. She was such a big girl. I almost passed out and had to sit down. Off we went to Toys R Us for anything she wanted! I must say that our Pediatrician is amazing. He was so good with her and he made this terrible accident something that we were able to handle. Our angel for the day. So Emma is recovering and doing better. Here are picts from tonight. Her first stitches. I was told she will have a scar. I hate that for her. But thank goodness she is a girl. Nothing make up can't fix when she gets older.

Emma took this picture of me... tired and worn out!

What's New

What's New:

Trying to recover from a crazy week last week.

Excited about all the premiers coming on this week.

We attended a shower for Robert and Lindsay this past weekend. Still can't believe Robert is about to get married. It does not seem real. We are all super excited.

Emma slept in her bed all night for 10 days so she is having a reward celebration tonight. Frankies for Putt Putt, ice cream at coldstone and a spend the night party with Sam. I know school night and all.

Izzie is getting so old. She seems to have lost all the baby look. She is climbing stairs, chatting up a storm and developing her personality. She is officially a little girl and not a baby anymore.

Starting a girls study with the Wayfarer wives this week and can't wait.

What the world would look like if everyone gave?

I just heard a great talk by Erwin McManus. He's the pastor at Mosiac Church out in LA. He is such a great communicator and is so good at it. Anyway they are in a series called EVERY(ONE) and this past week he talked about what the world would look like if everyone gave. If you have 45 minutes to listen it's worth your time. Dave told me about it and it really resounds what we hope and want our lives to be about

Domino Effect

It has been a crazy few days and we are in for another few. Wayfarer is taping this week for a DVD Series that Thomas Nelson Publishers is doing. They are 1 of 5 DVD series that Thomas Nelson will be releasing in 2008. So needless to say it's been a little wild around here. Tonight they are doing the majority of the taping. So if you happen to be in Greenville come on out!

Izzie's 10 month old picts

I got Izzie's supposed to be 9 months but ended up to be 10 months pictures taken tonight. She did great. I was supposed to go and get the 9.99 deal but ended up getting the 4 pose deal which was a lot more money!!!! Oh well... they are only this little once right? So here some of the shots. Plus they gave me the disc. Enjoy!

Blogged out

Stressed out, tired out, blogged out.
In one of those seasons where I feel like I have nothing to say and also if I end up saying something it does not communicate the way I intended. Ever feel that way?
So I'll just show pictures....

The girls at the beach.

Fun in the Sun

First time I ever french braided Emma's hair. She's growing up so fast!

Emma's favorite thing... Putt Putt with daddy!

Our last day in Myrtle Beach

So I did not post this week. Too busy having too much fun. And when I went to download pictures from my camera to Dave's computer, his computer would not let me. Weird! I'll have to post them next week. We have had such a wonderful week. It could not have had nicer weather. The girls have been great and having Nana and Papa around has been wonderful. I have slept in till 9:30 every day. Izzie gets up and mom would come and get her and she would tell me to go back to bed! What a huge blessing for a mom in need of much needed rest. For hours we have played by the ocean, swam in the pool, played a lot of put put. We've had some great meals out and Emma and I spent way too much money at the Disney Store!

I'll sum up the trip in detail next week. But till then, we'll keep doing what we are doing.... having a blast!

We've arrived!

We have arrived in Myrtle Beach. A short 4 hr trip and we are here. The girls did stellar during the travel and Izzie slept great last night. We are off to a fun day of sun, beach, and pool. My camera just ran out of batteries so when I get some new ones today I'll start posting pictures.

Izzie crawled all around the beach last night and had two hand fulls of sand to eat and just loved it!!!!
