Throwback Thursday




According to my clock it is still Thursday but only for a few more minutes so I'll have to make this a quick post.  
The photo is of my sweet niece Haleigh.  It was taken by one of the many guests at a baby shower being held in my honor in preparation for Miss Britt.  Those of you that know my family now realize it was nearly 14 years ago. 
It isn't the best photo of Haleigh but back in the day not everyone you know was trying to be a professional photographer like it seems they (myself included) are these days.
Anyway the photo.  I came across it the other night while looking at old photos with the girls.  Seeing that I don't own a scanner I used my phone to take a picture of a picture (I've done quite a lot of that lately)   I miss all the girls being this little more and more every day.  They are all growing up so fast it sometimes makes my head spin.  I mean really...her sisters (the babies in our family) are almost 9.  Where did our time together go? I remember Haleigh at the age in this photo.  Getting to see her all the time when I went to pick up my girls from grandmas house after work.  She has always been the cutest girl.  I hate that I haven't gotten to be as close to Haleigh as my nanny Fern was with me, but despite that I am so proud of the beautiful young lady she is growing into.
I sent this picture to her this evening just for giggles.  I thought it was a sweet  reminder of days gone by.  She text back with "throwback Thursday"  I loved the phrase and asked her if I could steal it and use it here in the blog.  She said she didn't mind so I thought what better picture to start a new series of posts than with the picture of her.
Thanks Haleigh for the inspiration to post this evening.   I love you.

And to  all of you reading, drag out those boxes of old photos and albums and see what wonderful memories you conjure up from the "good ol days".  I would love to hear about them.

PS. It's after midnight now but I'm still calling it "Throwback Thursday" :)
Thanks for reading and have a great up coming weekend

Love you all

18 already?

The reality of it really hasn't sank in yet I don't think, she still has one more year of school so that's probably why. My first born 18 years old.  Despite all the reminders of her age from my sweet girl, it truly does seem like only yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital when all the sudden here we are just over 2 weeks past her turning eighteen, where did all those years go? I would love to be able to sit here and recount every single detail with you from the very start but that might bore you to tears and well she might kill me of I did that.  Because I can remember lots of little moments that would embarrassed her to death like how she was so scared of everyone singing happy birthday on her first birthday that she hid under the table crying and didn't want to touch the cake we got her.  Or of her and her bff having cupcakes in their diapers that nanny brought by after Cathy's party at school when they were only one.  Or of her and t...

Midlife crisis? Nah, just having a little fun.

I guess that is what some people call it when a guy nearing (ever so close to) 40 goes out and buys himself a shiny new (or not so new) motorcycle.  However that thought never really crossed my mind when Stephen asked to buy one off a guy he works with.  I wasn't thrilled with the idea, not because I thought he was having a midlife crisis, but because I thought there were plenty of other things we could spend our money on.  I said no.  We always talk about big purchases and agree when or if we spend the money.  I was sure this thought was settled and we would not be the owners of a motorcycle anytime soon.  Stephen had other ideas... Stephens toy He made the decision to get the bike (it really was a good price, I guess) and well now we are that crazy old couple that rides around on a motorcycle every chance at nice weather we get. Here is a bit of history...My dad had a Honda gold wing when we were little (I was like 13)  he and my mom wou...

it's been a minute

yep, since I posted anyway.  This is just a short sweet post, to let you all know that I am still here...It has just been a little busy spending time with Stephen and the girls, taking a mini road trip with Steph and Rita to Texas (crazy story) and so much other stuff that I haven't made time to sit down and write anything.  I have a couple of things in the works though so don't give up on me.  Something about farm animals, another post about Chuck(s) and a few other things.  I haven't really made any time for quilting, bag making or anything crafty in a bit either so I gotta get on that (I miss it). Check back often to see that yes I am still alive and well, just busier than normal (and my normal is pretty busy) Have a great week ahead hope to write for you all soon.
