I'll Be Your Candle on the Waaaattteeeeeeerrrrr!

Yesterday was quite a day! Early in the morning I arose to get things ready for our Yard Sale. It was a community-wide garage sale day and I was going to make a bunch of money for our trip next week (more on that after we get back!). I made a whopping $15. Ouch! So much for money for our trip. We live down at the end of a long side road that apparently no one (ok, well a few) wanted to take. Then John got hungry and went and got take out so there went the $15. So, so sad.
In the early afternoon I went to the Annual CGSA Welcome Aboard Tea at the Diamondhead Lighthouse. Right after I got there we got buzzed by one of the helos:
I had just walked in the gate and didn't have my camera ready...good thing they did it twice!
Randi...the new El Presidente! She is great and lots of fun! During the prize giving! I walked away with 3 new movies and several packages of popcorn! Mmmmmm....popcorn! (said like Homer Simpson with donuts)
The new CGSA Board. It was so windy up there...we almost got a few Marilyn shots!
Me at the top of the Lighthouse with Diamondhead in the background.
Me and the view. It was beautiful!
Another view picture. The house is part of the Lighthouse grounds and there's a guest house as well.

Helloooooo up there!

It was tons of fun! I got to meet several new ladies, one who just arrived in August! We love having new people!
Then last night was our Enrichment Crafters Group. We made more hair bows and we ended up working on them until after 10 (sooooo past my bedtime!). It was quite the day and according to my calendar, just about the standard for the rest of this month. Whew!

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
