happy easter....

Happy Easter to my family and friends! When you imagine all of the possibilities that are open to you through the resurrection, how can you not just love this day?? Remember what you're thankful for and pass it on.

update 2007.....

Since everyone else changed their blog, why shouldn't I? Yeah, I know....just call me Lemming.

back by popular demand......

What's up, my homies?

You want a piece of me?

It's WoW time!

Check out the chub.

You asked for it....you got it. lol. Goodness knows, I could never get tired of seeing his face. Hope you all enjoy the pictures...love you!

night lights...

Just a view of downtown Jacksonville. This has been home sweet home for about 3 years now. The blue bridge is quite a site at night!

this one's for you dad....

Grandpa Dennis got these righteous shorts for the Little Man (a matching onesie too!). As you can see, they are a tad too big and closely resemble MC Hammer pants. He'll be one rad dude when he can fit into the whole ensemble! :)

happy one month birthday precious boy!

baby shower...

A great group of friends..

Eleanor and I playing party games..

Much needed baby gear..

Grandma, Mary and some chow..

Since the baby came so soon, I didn't have time to post pictures of my baby shower, lol. It was a great party and I only wish that all of my family could have been there :).

awake and alert....

Just to show that he is not, indeed, a doll...but a real live boy! For the record, he is as cute as a doll~

daddy....

I just love this second picture with Blaine smiling! Michael is so happy to be a father. He's been living for this day for a long time. How handsome are my men?!?

nursery...

Blaine is only a couple of weeks old but when the time is right, he will move into his own room. The theme is surfing and the beach. It still needs a little more work (pictures and such) but mom was a ton of help to getting it this far! I'll talk to you all soon :).

grandma time....

Taking a bottle from Grandma

Eating away

Ahhhh, sleep

Grandma Gaye is getting to know her grand-baby. Looks like they get along great! :)

angel baby...

On February 12th 2007, I gave birth to this beautiful baby boy (6 lbs 0 oz, 19 inches). We named him Blaine True Vorwaller. I wish I could put into words what I'm feeling at this moment, but nothing could come close to describing it. Michael and I have been truly blessed. We'd like to thank everyone who have had us in their prayers. Blaine is doing much better and will probably be able to come home soon (he was born 5 weeks prematurely and had to be placed in Neonatal care). I hope you all enjoy the pictures~

When Blaine was first checked into the NICU.

Catching some z's with his papa.

Dinner time!

Look at all that hair!

part II

These are just a few more of the looks that I loved! The bridal shot is gorgeous!

It's that time of year again and I couldn't wait to post some of my favorite
designs for this season!

Christian Dior

Christian Lacroix

st augustine

Here it is you guys! I cannot wait to have a family reunion will all of you! I wanted to post some pictures for you so that you could get a taste of where you'll be spending some of your time. I didn't have any pictures of the beach...I'll try to take some here soon. Love you all~

rainy day...

It's been awfully gloomy lately. No sun in the sky. I don't usually mind rainy days, but when you have one right after the other...it gets a little depressing. Good news is though, that the rain seems to make the world clean again. And when the sun does decide to reintroduce itself, I'll be the first to welcome it. :)

What to write, what to write? It seems like there has been a lot going on lately, but nothing post-worthy. :) I'm in my seventh month of pregnancy and doing pretty well. Michael and I have been ever busy trying to get ready for the baby.

The weather here has been unseasonably warm. I felt like taking a swim today it was so hot, lol. Wish you were all hear to share it with me!

surprise!

I have the sweetest husband in the world, plain and simple! He knew that I was in distress this morning when I threw a hissy-fit. The hissy-fit was due to my being too large to fit into a pair of maternity pants! And when I was feeling down and depressed he managed to brighten my day with an edible bouqet. He remembered that strawberries were my favorite. It's no wonder I love him so much~

family time....

Michael with his niece, Ethnie.

Ethnie wearing her Christmas hat from Mike and I. (just a shy too big, lol)

Baby face!

Trent, Becca and Ethnie the morning they had to leave :(.

Michael and I were lucky to have Trent, Becca and Ethnie come for a visit, right before Christmas. We all had a really good time and can't wait to get together again! (And as you can see...Ethnie is growing up so fast!)

Christmas Lights......

Isn't Christmas beautiful on Temple Square? Sometimes you have to step back and reflect on what this season is all about. Merry Christmas to my family and friends and a happy new year~

Wouldn't it be heaven to call a place like this your home? I love the idea of having a cottage that's practically camouflaged. Tending to it might take some work~

So here I am....6 months and growing. I promised that I would post a picture of my belly (hope no one is offended). Hard to believe that there's a baby in my tummy! :) Hugs and kisses to my friends and family, can't wait to see you all again~

lonesome...

Not me, I'm not lonesome. But sitting at a bus stop there is this little old man that we pass everyday on our way to work . He is always by himself, lunchpail and umbrella in hand. It makes me wonder where his family is. Is he going to work himself? And if so, why? I know there's an interesting story there and if we weren't in such a rush to start our day, we just might stop and chat.

I hope he is happy, that his life has been full and that he does have a family to go home to. And I really hope that the Christmas season has something wonderful in store for him.
