Mother & Baby - Effer Dare #1 This is a photo I took of my sister and her baby Madelyn. I love it. And the quote was perfect for the pic! It reads; There is no other closeness in human life like the closeness between a mother and her baby chronologically, physically, and spiritually they are just a few heartbeats away from being the same person.

Got Life - Effer Dare #2...Yeah I am a little behind. And Yeah I know this is last weeks challenge. But I have been really busy!! I made the circle paper I am unhappy with the result of it though. I think the words are too scrunched together making it difficult to read them...it says Life Preserver 1. a devices for saving a person...

I need to get going on the Effer Dare #3 now. If I could just find a CD I loved?!! Then I could! That is my challenge I guess.

Well I didn't make it to the PO in time for the MMM contest! I am bummed. Time just got away and had too many things to do, traveling,company, reunion, bridal shower, cranky baby that just demanded most of my time...and I am just AOK with not having any time for anything else because she is so worth it!

Did you ever think you could love someone so much? In the last 3 days I think I have gotten very little sleep due to baby being up so much. But I am ok with that because she is so worth anything and everything, life it self. I think I am to blame as well though. Here I am playing, cooing and cawing to her at 2 am. LOL I look at her and just tear up. It is so amazing that life is so beautiful, so amazing, so unspeakably grand with her in my life. You just can't help but think of how does God make something-someone so breath taking, preciouos and irresistable! Truly a gift from God she is, she is! (ducky-land before time she is, she is).
