Catching Up {+} Q & A

I have a little bit of catching up to do. Life goes on outside this little blog and with Holy Week last week I failed to give appropriate press to some precious things in my life.

First being my friend L.A. who is expecting daughter numero dos in a few weeks! When Mom was still here we {along with Hornet} ventured over to Tallahassee for the day to celebrate L.A. and the precious life in her womb. I'd tell you this little girl's name if I only knew myself, she's such a stinker and keeps it a secret... how dare her! :)

I ate a lot of these... and could have eaten a lot more. They're the best petit fors {is that how you spell it?} I've ever had... and the same ones I got for Morgan's birthday last year! Let's just pretend like you can taste them. They're delightful.

Someone else brought this.

It made me laugh and want to put myself in time out.

Here are the hostesses & the preggo...

We had a wonderful time, LA got wonderful gifts, and it made me miss all my Tallahassee friends!!

Second I just want to let you all know that I am madly in love with this man. He's a wonderful husband and father. He prays for me and praises me and I'm so grateful that God chose us for one another. {Keeping honest: he can also really tick me off sometimes too... but I can assure you that feeling is mutual!}

Last week he got a new {to him} truck. It's a big truck, with a big engine, a 5th wheel {whatever that means}, and enough room for all of us...

...you see he owns his own businesses which means he spends a good deal of time on his phone. And several of you asked what happened to the Raiger's head & lip...

When they arrived for the big egg hunt on Saturday, her big sister kindly unbuckled her carseat, Daddy opened the door to the new truck, and then took a phone call, which resulted in Paige leaning out of her carseat and subsequently falling out of the truck and hitting her face on the asphalt. Justin said it was the most horrified he's ever been. She still has some color on her forehead and a little scratch but she's doing much better! What's an egg hunt without a goose egg!

You all also assumed that I made the kids Easter outfits... thanks, but you assumed wrong-o!

I bought them at Kids Market {a local semi-annual consignment sale} and they were only $10 each. You can't beat that. But let me tell you, in the amount of time it took me to remove 3 monograms with a seam ripper and put new ones in I could have made 3 brand new outfits! Oh well! But the dress pattern is Carol by Children's Corner if you are so inclined to make your own.

Third I have an idea. I am so BEHIND on my emails... about 6 weeks behind and I feel as though I'll never catch up so I'm thinking of answering questions in form of a blog post because a lot of people ask the same questions. So, while I wait to show you my bathrooms {because I'm waiting for a piece to return from the upholostery man} I'm going to answer any questions you may have. So... ask away in the comments section... anything from where did you get that... to how did you do that.... to what color is that... to do you have any more of those bulletin boards {yes, I've been collecting them for y'all}... to what did you have for breakfast. I'll answer them all {if I can!}. Have fun and be creative it's good for your brain and hopefully mine too!
