Water Babies

What can I say? Corleys love the water!

Four Eyes No More!

Rusty got contacts today!! He is amazed at his new found "outlook" on life!

Child Labor? Naaaaa!!!

With Emmy at school part of the week, I bring Sam into the office with me. His "job" is to handle the shredder. He says, "Mommy, I need more work!" Check back with me in 13 years to see if that is still the case, mmmkay?!

Bubbles Everywhere!

Sam had a bubble bath today! He was very insistent that I take his picture because he looked like Joey with his "facial hair"! A fantastic time killer - this kid was a walking prune by the time he came out of there!

Baby Update

I had a doctor's appointment today - my second visit since we found out about the newest addition! I've gotten to see the baby on the ultrasound machine both visits, and have been amazed at technology! At 7 weeks (my first visit), I was able to see the heart beat of the baby! At 12 weeks, the baby is the size of a pretty hefty Oreo cookie! Maybe one of those "Double Stuffed" ones. Mmmm...that sounds good!

I've intentionally not kept up with how pregnant I am because time seems to be flying by, and I'm certainly not one to argue with that!

Mommy and Baby are doing wonderful! If it weren't for actually knowing that I'm pregnant, I'd never know it because I have ZERO symptoms! Woo hoo!

Celebration!

Emmy started going to a part time school today. She was in great need of some social time away from Mommy, and it's been a great break for me too. I've been able to spend some one on one time with Sam (who, by the way, talks CONSTANTLY), and I've also been able to go into the office more often. As expected, everyone absolutely LOVES Emmy, and they can't wait for Sam to be able to join them.

Fiddler

Angelyn and I took the "bigger" littles (Rachel, Cole, Kate, & Laney) to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Monticello Opera House today. This was Rachel's first live performance out of church performances, and even though it was rather long, we all had a good time. I had never heard the story before, so it was a nice surprise to hear the story line. I didn't realize what I was getting in to, but it was a great play!

A Tidbit

A close friend of mine gave me this verse at the most perfect time in our lives (isn't that how God works?). The Corley Clan always has a great time, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's always that easy!

Romans 5: 1 - 5

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Also through Him, we have obtained access by faith into His grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope does not disappoint, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Family Vacation, 2009

We headed to the mountains and had the times of our lives, as usual. We went to Red Oak, Va first to visit my Aunt Rita and Uncle Ricky. It's been entirely too long! Then we headed to SML for some fantastic weather and finally, off to Babby's in TN. It was a great visit all around, and the time just flew by!
