Just for you

I'm getting far too good at this whole blog-slacking thing. So here are some catch-up pics... yet again.

Halloween was kind of a drag. But cool thing: Paige wore the Rainbow Brite (flashback) costume that my grandma made for Chelsea that all of us girls wore for Halloween back when we were little. She was an AMAZING seamstress - pretty good job I think and even better that it's lasted this long! Just check out those boots!
I had bought this cute little skeleton onesie for Cal but of course when I went to put it on it was FAR too small since the kid grows too darn fast. So luckily my sister-in-law had a spare caterpillar for the night. Not like it even mattered though cause he slept the whole time anyways. Oh well.Calvin is now officially on rice cereal - here's the first time photo.

And the first face. "You call this food???"


Paige has been an eager little helper in the kitchen lately.

And a ham everywhere else... as always.
And I just HAD to let you in on the funniest after bath time mullet EVER! "Business in the front, party in the back Mom." She really needs a haircut.
And I was just looking at Paige's pics of when she was the same age as Calvin is now and I was kinda surprised at how they really don't look that much alike. Hmmph?!?!

Paige - 5 months
Calvin - 5 months

Not all that interesting or exciting, but that's what I got.

Bobby Dus!!!

That is what Paige calls Baby Gus... Bobby Dus. So cute. Anyways, I just got these pics from Chel and I couldn't help but post them - I am SO EXCITED to have a new little nephew and even more so to have my sis join the mothering world... as if we didn't have enough to talk about already!!! Here he is!!!
Oooo I just wanna SQUEEZE him!

OF COURSE they came equipped with a skeleton costume for Halloween


Proud Papa Shane, love it

Little Gus Gus in his AMAZING crib bedding that Chel made ALL FROM SCRATCH!! No joke, she made the bumper, bed skirt, sheets, blanket, and all the matching accessories. I'm not sure this is my sister... but I am STUNNED and quite frankly a little jealous. I mean seriously, look at that blanket!!! Good work Chelsifer.

JOY & heartache

My big sister Chelsea and her hubby Shane had their first little baby on Halloween - HOORAY!!! Baby boy Gus Armstrong... 7lbs. 20.5 inches. He is adorable and I can't wait to spoil the pants off of him. So exciting and SO STINKING HAPPY!!

I don't know if I have just become more aware or what, but ever since Justin passed away it seems like tragedies just keep coming left and right all around. It is just ripping my heart into pieces for all those going through such hard times. My love, thoughts, and prayers go out to them all - too many to list. Please please pray for all those burdened with hearthache. It works... I know.
