Update!!

Wow, so much has happened in the short time I have been blog-MIA....

Most of you know that my dear friend Anna was expecting a baby boy, Emerson, he wasn't due until March 21st, and first babies are notoriously late,... so I was not worried at all about going out of town for a few days....

Well that Friday I made Anna a motivational board, we thought it would be nice for Anna to have a focus point during the birth, and a fun way to remind her that she is loved...

I thought that making this board was just precautionary...

Saturday was a very busy day...

We had the McGuire's run in the AM,... I made these costumes for Rachel and I... aren't they fun?! :-D If you want a costume for next year, I am taking orders now :o)

sooo many people!

Then after the run, me and mom headed over to New Orleans for my sister Amelia's cheerleading competition,... my mom's best friend Rhela had taken Amelia over to New Orleans that morning to make it in time for her competition...

We tried 3x to wait in Cafe Du Monde's ridiculously long line.... finally got some!

Well on the way to New Orleans we find out that Anna is having her baby boy Emerson! He was born March 12 at 6:35pm weighing 7lbs 5 ounces! Perfect!



By the way, this is the way that everyone should spend their spring break... just sayin!

For Christian's birthday he asked for a cookies and cream cake.... and I knew just where to go! My best friend Haley Sue has posted a blog before featuring a cookies and cream cupcake recipe, and it was delicious as a birthday cake! Click

The cake was a huge hit! yummm!!



And then today, Anna brought Emerson to visit us at work!!!

I can't believe how beautiful he is!

No more bump on the hump! :o)

Isn't he gorgeous!!!??

Absolutely precious.
