Craig's work schedule

Craig and I were going through Craig's work schedule today and we had left the papers on our coffee table and Preston saw them and was having a blast playing with them. He is doing so much better today and is back to himself. Praise the Lord!!!!!!

Emergency visit

Last night I took Preston into the ER. Here is how the night began:
Craig was working the night shift last night so Preston and I went to the mall to shop. Preston was getting crabby in his stroller so I took him out and was holding him. Before we were about to leave I saw a sweatshirt I wanted to try on. I set Preston back in his stroller but I didn't buckle him in and only a second later he fell out of it hitting the back of his head on the hard floor falling about a foot. I got him calmed down and really didn't think much of it because he falls all the time it seems now that he can stand. On the way home he cried but I soothed him by singing to him. When we got home I fed him and he went right to bed. A half hour later he woke up screaming and when I went in his room he had thrown up all over. When I picked him up and changed him he was very docile which is very unlike Preston. I called Craig at work and we both agreed I needed to bring him in. He ended up with a slight concussion but is doing fine now. Preston and I stayed at my parents in town last night since it was so late. My dad picked up McDonald's and I let Preston stay up and eat a snack. Whew, what a scare. The Lord must have had a guardian angle watching over him.

Party with Great Grandma and Grandpa B







My Grandparents came down to visit this weekend and had a birthday party for all their Great Grandkids in our family. We had a great time getting together at my sister in laws house. Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa for all your love and time that you have always given to us and now our kids. Preston loves his toy phone and it will help him learn his alphebet. We love you so much.


P.S. Craig and I and Preston loved having you guys over for breakfast this morning with my parents before you left for home. We will never forget all the time we get to spend with you and how much it means to us. Hugs and Kisses

Park Fun
















Today I took Preston and the 2 girls I am watching full time for the next 3 weeks to the park. It was a lot more fun this time with Preston as he can now crawl up the stairs to get to the slide. It was also fun watching him stand up on everything too. Oh, he is growing up way too fast.

First Professional Haircut











Well we finally did it...........we took Preston in for his first real BIG BOY haircut. I talked them down to $6(they wanted $12). He did a really good job sitting on my lap. I let him have a Cherry Cola sucker to help keep him occupied. I can't believe how much hair he really had. We got a really cute certificate too that holds his locks. I'll post a picture of that later. What a little man huh?

Thank you Auntie Denise




Preston got some new clothes from Auntie Denise which used to be his counsin JD's. I wish it were Fall so he could wear his long sleeved ones. It's so great to have cousin close in age.


Preston gets up on EVERYTHING!!!! Anything that he can pull himself up on is free game.

See the little Leap Frog ball in the background that is red, white , and blue? I got that a lawn sale for only $2 and it sells for $25 brand new. It will help him learn the alphabet.
