Catching up

It's hard to believe it has been 3 weeks since I last did a post. Summer is so busy at our house. Between piano and basketball and swimming and Taekwondo and then just enjoying our friends and family, we barely catch our breath. And to believe now it is July...makes me a little sad that summer is almost over, but happy that we will see little Samantha in 6 days. 6 days...wow! I can hardly wait. Although, I would love to bypass the c-section and just go straight to having her in my arms=).

This weekend was my oldest daughter's Sweet Sixteen birthday party. She has the most precious friends and I am so grateful that I have such a great relationship with my daughter. My heart breaks when I hear parents complain about their teenagers and say they can't wait until they get out of the house. I just adore this time in my daughter's life and the life and joy she brings to our family. What a sweet season!
 
She decided she wanted to have a 50's party. It was fun scouting out all the candy that was popular in the 50's. Although the girls probably had a sugar overload.
                                    

We found vinyl records at our local flea market and painted the labels and used them as plate chargers and dessert stands.

This is T with her Granny, Dale's mom. I thought it was so sweet that T wanted her Granny to be at the party with all her friends.

Well, please keep me in your prayers as July 11th approaches. I am so excited, but as you may imagine, I am still holding my breath until I have Samantha in my arms.
