Who would have thought...so many babies!


Last Friday I went to Charlotte to visit Lindsey Turner and her new baby Reilly. I rode down with a dear friend Elena, whom I have recently reconnected with. The three of us went to high school together and now we all have babies that are within six months in age. It was a great day! Elena and Dylan (5 months) Lindsey and Reilly (1 month) and Mollie and Caroline (7 months)

A Special Gift

I was watching Oprah the other day and saw a segment about International Project Breastmilk. The organization collects breastmilk from healthy, lactating women and sends it to hospitals in Africa to help very sick new born babies. Most of the babies recieving the milk are orphans b/c their parents have died of AIDS. The sick babies immune systems benefit so much from the breastmilk. I could go on and on listing the benefits. Anyway, Caroline has allowed me to be able to donate milk to this wonderful cause. I am only nursing her three times a day and the rest of the day she is eating food and drinking juice. I just think it is such a special way to help little babies and it just so happens that my body is up for the challenge. Pass this info on to any women you might know that would be interested.

A Great (and very easy) Dinner

Beef Stew
Ladies I know Beef Stew might not sound great...but this really is sooo tasty and so easy! Tony said it is his new favorite meal...impress your man with this one! I promise you it is really yummy!

1-2 lbs of stew beef
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg of Lipton onion soup mix (dry)
1 soup can of red wine ( and then you can drink the rest with dinner)

Put all ingredients in a casserole dish. Cover and cook for 4 hours at 275.
Serve over rice or egg noodles. AWESOME dinner!

Caroline had a great first Easter! She is so precious and such a huge blessing in our lives!

A Fun Saturday Afternoon


We turned the hot tub to 98 degrees and had the most fun with Baby Caroline in the hot tub. She just LOVED it. This is a cute little boat that her Daddy got for her. She splashed and played for over an hour until I finally took her out because she was wrinkled! We hope she will always love the water!
