Look What I Found in the Pumpkin Patch!

Justin & Krista took the girls to a local pumpkin patch - they had a blast and we got this precious picture of Charlee & Bailey!! You gotta love it!

This Saturday we had a cookout at Heather & Alan's! It was a good time, family all together, BBQ, (Libby, Dave, Justin & Alan cookin up some chicken and ribs! - does it really take 5 men to BBQ?!! hahaha)Football (well, Bailey dressed for her Team - Go Steelers!)
and Guitar Hero! Rock It, Heather!

It was a Great Day!

A Bad Day Made Better

This has not been the best week. On Monday I was laid off from my job - 2nd time now in 5 months. I was devastated, to say the least. This economy sucks, but moreso I blame that the companies that send work offshore are making our economy worse. So today, after spending time looking for a job, sending resumes, etc., we get a visit from Justin, Krista, Charlee and Little Bailey! Justin and Krista left Bailey with us while they went to get Charlee her Halloween costume - for me, it was just what the doctor ordered - how can you not feel better after this:

Justin and Krista came home - with Spiderman!

Oh wait - that's not Spiderman.......It's Charlee!!

What a wonderful way to end the day!

Love,

Cheryl

A Good Day Off!

My work schedule is Tuesday through Saturday - 3-11 - and I'll tell you, by 11 o'clock on Saturday night, I am totally ready for my days off! Got to sleep in this morning - that felt good. Had a little scare with Prissi Friday night - she has a collapsing trachea - something many small breed dogs have, especially Yorkies, and Friday night it collapsed and it wasn't opening back up. Scared us half to death. We stayed up all night with her, soothing her, trying to keep her calm, and then by the Grace of God we made it through the night and got her to the Vet - he gave her a shot of pain medication to settle her down and started her on antibiotic and prednisone. She was fine after that, although we have to keep her calm and out of the heat.

Here's our little Prissi Girl - she is so spoiled!

So after Dave made delicious omelettes for breakfast, we got ready and headed to Justin & Krista's to visit with them and the baby for a bit. Krista's Nanny was there - it is always nice to see her - hoping to go visit her in Daytona sometime soon! Little Bailey was awake! YAY!! She has been asleep everytime I have gone over! She is so alert and her eyes are already focusing - so pretty and blue!

I got to feed her today - she is so precious! Dave held her for a bit and she was making faces and grunting and before ya knew it, it was diaper changin time!

Krista's Nanny came down to visit from Daytona. She was totally lovin on Bailey!

Charlee and Bailey are 2 blessed little angels - they have a wonderful Mommy and Daddy and so many of us who just love them to pieces!!

All in all it was a good Day! Heather and Alan stopped over for a bit and I got to spend a little time making some cards and organizing some things for the baby's scrapbook! I have 3 scrapbooks I'm workin on right now - our Cruise Scrapbook, Charlee's Scrapbook, and of course, Bailey's Scrapbook! I'm stayin busy!

All is well in Florida! We are Blessed!

Love,

Too Priceless!

Took Charlee over to see Mommy and Daddy and her new Baby Sister! She got to interact with Bailey and hold her - she was so good with her - giving her kisses and talking to her! Bailey had her eyes open at one point and Charlee was talking to her - it was priceless.

It was a nice afternoon getting to hold Bailey and visit with Justin & Krista. Charlee had fun going bug huntin with her Daddy. I took a picture of Justin with Charlee and Bailey - I've got to print it and frame it!!
Krista is doing well - getting stronger. She is such a good mother - she has quite the instinct!

Be sure to check out my online albums - see the link on the left of this page - I have uploaded all the pictures we have so far and will update that album as we get pictures.

Just had to share my day!

Love,

Bailey Comes Home!

Seems it was just yesterday we were waiting at the hospital for this Little Angel to be born - and today they brought her home! She is so precious! So quiet and so content - so loved! Krista is doing well after her C-section, very uncomfortable, I'm sure, but looking pretty as ever! They are all bonding so well.

I love this picture of Justin with Little Bailey:

We get to spend some time with Charlee here with us - she's having fun playing with Aunt Heather and Uncle Alan, and sitting on Pap's massage Chair!

She loves her little sister and says she misses her! We took her to see Mommy and Daddy and Baby Sister at home today and she came out of the bedroom and told me "She's out of Momma's tummy, Mimi!" and she gave her a little kiss bye bye when we left. She's calling her Edie - she says cause she has to eat! lol There are other times she tells us her name is Honey! Whatever she thinks, she's going to be a good Big Sister!

The ride home, she was snug as a bug and her bunnies kept her safe!

Now she is home and safe with her Mommy and Daddy!

We are so blessed.

Here are a few more pictures from yesterday - enjoy.

She's Here!

This little one was not waiting til Tuesday to make her appearance! Krista woke up this morning with contractions - they headed to the hospital and sure enough, she was in labor. They of course were doing a C-section, and they took her in rather fast, and at 2:03 p.m., Bailey Sterling Letner arrived! Justin was so excited and Krista ecstatic! She has a reddish golden brown hair, blue eyes, and weighed 7 lb 12 oz, 20.3 inches long! She is precious beyond belief! She looks so much like Justin, with some of Krista's features - especially noticeable is her little dimples like Krista's! Charlee was excited, but once at the hospital she didn't know what to make of it all!

Here are some pictures we took today. Justin took some really good pictures and I'll probably snatch a few of those once he uploads them!

We are truly, truly, blessed!

They're Here!

After 7 long years of trying and 2 long days of driving - Heather and Alan have arrived in their new home here in FL!! They pulled into their new driveway around 11:30 last night - being tired didn't last long! They love their new home!

Let the Unpacking Begin!
So much excitement!! Next week we will welcome our new Little Darlin (she was our Little PeaPod - but she ain't a PeaPod anymore - she now our Little Darlin!). Krista will have her C-section next Tuesday afternoon!! I cannot wait! Heather is so excited too as she wanted to be here and now she is!

I borrowed this picture from Krista's MySpace - She looks totally ready! Looking at this picture - can you tell it's a girl? !!!! lol !!! Krista said that Charlee took this picture - what a little photographer!!

How blessed we are.
