Happy Birthday Grace Anne, we love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

We still have more celebrating to do, GA is having her birthday party on Saturday! I will try to post pictures of her party. I am having to use my cell phone to take pictures, I am hoping to get a new camera soon(hint hint Daniel)!:-)

It's a Lion......or a Tiger????

I know that Drew is going to kill me when he gets older, but I had to post these pictures! They are just way to CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

This was his Halloween custome from 2 years ago! (Can't you tell it is a just a little snug!!!) We let a friend borrow it and after they returned it, Drew found it!

He LOVED wearing his tiger costume!!!! Daniel and I kept correcting him and telling him it was a lion not a tiger, but he was not going to have it!

"I'm a TIGER and it says ROAR". That is what we heard ALL day!:-)

He was so cute running around the house in it. It made him look sooo little, and I just love that sweet baby face!

Tomorrow is Grace Anne's birthday. Check back tomorrow night for pictures of our big girl! We have a BIG day planned for the special birthday girl!

Hope you have a great night!!!!!

Big boy bed, red hats and shoe boxes..........

that all sums up our week!

Drew is now in a big boy bed.............and yes that makes me really sad! My babies are growing up too fast.

We have our own red hat club at the Dulaney house!

Drew did this pose on his own! He is a mess! GA and Drew love to play dress up!

BTW Drew thinks the hat is a cowboy hat, he was running around saying "YEE HAAA"! There is never a dull moment at our house!:-)

Last night, we spent Friday Family Night shopping for goodies to fill up our shoe boxes. This year Grace Anne was really into it. She truly understood what we were doing and she was very excited about buying presents for a little girl that did not have a lot.

Drew enjoyed himself as well, but he did not understand why he had to give all the stuff away!

We have a super busy week ahead of us. Grace Anne's Birthday is on Wed., my mom and niece are coming on Thurs. and Grace Anne's B-Day Party is on Saturday! Wow! I am getting excited thinking about it all! Check back on Wed. to see pictures of our big birthday girl! Hope you have a great week!

We have lost another one........

A few weeks ago, Grace Anne lost her first tooth.

This week I noticed that she had another permanent tooth that just broke through, so I told GA that we had to start now on getting that baby tooth out so the new one could come in.
Well, we did not have to do to much work because Drew did it for us! Tonight GA and Drew were playing and his head hit her mouth. She came to me saying that Drew hit her and her tooth was hurting, I looked into her mouth and sure enough we had knocked that tooth loose! I just wiggled it and it came right out!
She was soo excited and ran to Drew yelling look you knocked my tooth out!!!!

My baby girl is growing up too fast! I don't know if this ole momma can take much more of this growing up stuff! She will be turning 6 in less than a week! Where does the time go?

Well I better run now, I have to go and do my tooth fairy duties:-)

Our weekend.........

Okay, I think my camera has officially bit the dust:-(. I now know what I want for Christmas! I will try to post pictures if and when I can, but it is not looking like I will be anytime soon unless Santa comes early at my house:-).

Our weekend, we had a lot going on. God has been working in a mighty way and we praise Him for what He has and is doing in our life. Like always, Jeremiah 29:11 has been very comforting to us here lately. I am so blessed to have a godly husband. Daniel is my rock and I don't know what I would do without him. I am so blessed and I thank God for all the many blessings.
Also we have a major praise!!!!! Our friend/neighbor got saved this weekend!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!! Daniel has been talking with him and showing him God's love for over a year now. We got the wonderful news today that he gave his life to Jesus while attending a retreat over the weekend!!!!!
God is so good!!!! I hope you have a wonderful week. I will post later in the week.

BTW Daniel's parents are here, so Grace Anne and Drew are having a ball this week.(and getting spoiled rotten).:-)

We have had a rough time this week trying to get into the swing of things. Grace Anne did not have school on Monday or Tuesday, so I have had a time getting my days straight! I am ready for the weekend again!:-) I did enjoy Grace Anne being home from school. We hung out around the house and played on Monday and on Tuesday we met some friend for lunch and then went to see High School Musical 3! We had a great time!

Last night Drew got sick with a virus, he is feeling better tonight. I am hoping that the rest of us stays healthy!

Tonight Grace Anne went to Maggie's Birthday party at Fun-day-go. She has been waiting all week for this party! I did remember my camera, so here are few pictures....................

Grace Anne and Maggie = Best Buddies

Thanks Maggie for a great party. We had a blast!!!!

Well, that sums up our week thus far, thanks for checking in!!!!:-)

Update on our Prayer Request

I want to thank each of you for praying for our friend Mrs. Tami. Please continue to pray for her. On Friday we received news that she is not a candidate for a heart transplant. We know that God is in control and that his plans are far better than we can imagine.

Tami and Allen have started a blog. You can visit it at http://allenclabo.wordpress.com and read all their updates and travel this journey with them. Feel free to check it out and get to know this wonderful family. They are a sweet family that loves the Lord and we are so blessed to have them in our life. Please continue to pray for the Clabo family!!!!
