Meet Stella!

Okay this is my last post of the day, I need to go pack for 3 people, (one of those being a baby and we all know what traveling with a baby entails.

Santa left this Stella doll for Morgan. When looking at it, I think I may know why Santa thought this would be the perfect doll for her. That Mr. Mrs. Clause sure is a smart creative one, I tell you.

It just so happened that I put Morgan in this outfit this morning (unplanned). I had her sitting in her highchair next to me and she was beginning to get a little fussy. So I thought I would hand her Stella. Yea, we decided to name her Stella. When I realized that they both matched, being the mom photographer I am said, "oh look you guys are twins, must get pictures of this pronto."

And so I did.

I mean it, this was not planned at all. Things and moments just fall into this mama's photographers lap. Not the best of lighting to work with and I didn't have time to play around with the images to see if I could modify them any. O'well!!!

A tongue Picture, not surprised there Butterfly!

This little face, although you can't hear her. She is making this hissing air breathing sound really fast in and out, in and out. Granny from Texas taught her that, as well as Hunter at this age, that I have pics of him doing the exact same thing. This is her funny side! Makes anyone laugh!

This is her giving Stella a kiss-kiss.........

This is me trying to catch the Stella kiss-kiss/hug on camera...
and catching both of them as the fall over.

This is me working really heard to get her tongue in her mouth
so I can get a smile out of her.

This is the final product, and blurry because mommy is cracking
herself up, trying to get Butterfly to smile.

*Have you ever tried to take a clear picture when you are belly laughing?" It's not easy folks!!!

Mommy got me some knee pads!

Morgan has figured out how to entertain herself,
and I thought she looked so cute digging around in her toy box.

PS: I am going to bring back a souvenir from my cruise with all of you in mind. I realized the other day that my blog hit 10,000 views. Wow!!! That's crazy. However, I realized I haven't said "Thank You" much lately, if at all to you. So, with my little makeovers that are about to be finished, I will start by thanking all of you with a cool little give away. Everyone likes a give away. I know I have a few that actually follow the blog from their blogs, but I also know by some of the private emails I receive, that I also have a quite a few of you that read this blog daily or often. I will have to think of some creative way to give away this souvenir that I will bring back home from our cruise.

Did I just put pressure on myself by saying all of that? Maybe, but you guys are all worth it. So keep checking back as you do, and keep a look out for a new makeover coming to one, two or three of my sites VERY soon, and Ill post my appreciation give away post with the new look(s)!

Bon Voyage!!!!

2 Urgent Prayer Request -

1.  Stellan - You have heard the name, if not from my own blog, then reading the famous MckMama blog. Stellan is my favorite living miracle story, that I love to share and brag to people about.  One of God's "showing off" gifts to us all.  A quick update, Stellan was diagnosed with a heart condition at 24 weeks in the womb and was said he would surely die before birth or soon after.  God, having the last say, healed Stellan and he was born healed and healthy.  Although, doctors said there was a chance the heart condition could appear with in the first 3 months or so of his life, he is 8 weeks and has no sign of it returning.  However, he is VERY sick with RSV, and in the hospital.  He has stopped breathing a couple of times and seems to not want to stabilize for the doctors yet.  Please click here for the details and pray, pray, pray..... that God continues to show of with this little boy.  He has a family and siblings and fans that love him very much, or have fallen in love with him, as I personally have.  He is a very sick 8 week old baby boy and needs your prayers upon him this very moment.  

2.  If you recall, I asked you to pray before, for my friend Susan, and her mom.  Her mother has been very sick this year with cancer and all types of complications, one after the other.  As of this Christmas holiday, they have finally had to place her in a hospice home.  I am very heartbroken over this.  My friend Susan is as strong as a rock, and although she tries hard to not show it, I know she is in pain.  I can't imagine the amount of pain, but I do try my best to be that one constant friend in her life that she can always depend on, talk with and even feel safe to cry on or with.  She is a single mom of a beautiful little man  of 8 years old, Tristan, but we call him "T-man." 

Her mother is not doing well at all.  She keeps going in and out of conscience and they thought she was going to lose her battle last week, but seemed to come a little more alert the other day.  I have not spoken with Susan since Friday, for I know this is very hard for her.  She is spending this time with her mom, family and son.  Please, keep this family in your prayers.  Please keep my friend Susan in your prayers, for she is the only daughter and she is very close to her mother.  This is a very lonely, scary and difficult time for my friend.  Thank you.
