New Family Members

We have a few new family members we would like to introduce you to. First of all Michelle has a new sister. Her name is Sierra and she will be 15 in about a month. We are so glad that she has come to join our family. She is such a sweet young lady.

Second, we are so excited to share with you that Brian's sister (Jenna) is engaged to be married. Doug asked her to marry him last Saturday. We are thankful to the Father for putting such a godly, caring and loving man in her life. There is no date set yet, but we will keep you posted. Did I say that we are very excited???

Photos are above - enjoy! :)

Giveaway

Giveaway!!!!!!

I lurve hair bows. I lurve my Bug. And I lurve LoveBugBabyBoutique.

We (she and I) shall be giving away this beautiful basic white bow. :) Also, a headband to go with it, plus a few extra goodies.

Don't have a girl? Don't worry...this would make a GREAT gift for a birthday, baby gift, or even Christmas.

How do you enter? Multiple ways.

1. Go to LoveBugBabyBoutique and look through all her items in her shop. Then come back here and leave a comment letting me know what your favorite item is. This will get you one entry.
   
2. Mention this giveaway in your Facebook status or Tweet about it and get two extra entries. If you are tweeting, remember to include @CarrieFriday so I'll know you tweeted it. If you put it on both, you'll get entries for both. YOU MUST LINK TO MY BLOG FOR IT TO COUNT!!!!
   
3. Post this giveaway on your blog, and you'll get three extra entries, plus my friendship for life.
   
4. Buy something from her shop and get FOUR extra entries. If you do this, be sure to include in the note to seller that you came from the giveaway or you know me or whatever so your purchase will be counted.
   

Now I know some of you are thinking you won't enter because you won't win. But you really could win. I'm making it so much easier for you to win this giveaway. So enter! Don't be shy.

Confused by how the entries work? Here's a scenario:

Let's pretend Katie Baby wants to enter this giveaway. So she goes to the shop, picks a bow, comes back and comments letting me know. That gets her 1 entry. Then, Katie Baby gets on facebook and updates her status saying, "I just entered Carrie's hair bow giveaway. Go to www.mommyfridaysheart.blogspot.com to enter too." She just got 2 more entries (for a total of 3). Then, Katie Baby tweets about it. That earns her 2 more entries (for a total of 5). Well, Katie Baby REALLY wants this bow so she mentions this giveaway on her blog to earn her 3 more entries (for a total of 8). If she bought something from the shop, she'd get 4 more entries making her entered into the giveaway a total of 12 times!!!!!!!!!!

Dude. Katie Baby would probably win with all those entries.

ENTER, ENTER, ENTER.

Also, if you have questions b/c I have confused you, just let me know. Also, if you update your facebook status, you should alert me in some way shape form or fashion so your entries will be counted. Also, if you blog about it, be sure to come back and tell me.

This giveaway will end on Friday, July 31st at noon o'clock EST. At that time, I will use Mr. Random Number Generator to choose our lucky winner. I will post who won and then the winner will give me a safe way to contact them so that I can get them their prize. :) And then we will all live happily ever after!

June 15

It has been a while since I have updated and I have a few minutes today, so here it goes..........

Emma Kate is doing well and loves to play dress up, barbies, dollhouse, etc. She is very girlie and loves anything that has to do with pampering yourself. She loves both of her sisters dearly. It is great to see her encourage Caroline and help take care of Maggie Ann.

Caroline has started going to the potty. We are not quite there yet, but she is learning and hopefully we will be completely out of diapers by the end of the summer (at least that is the goal). She has also started saying new words. She calls Emma Kate - "KATE" and she calls Maggie Ann - "MAGS" We are so glad that she is finally starting to voice herself.

Maggie Ann will be three months on this week. It is hard to believe. I feel like we just finished our long medical journey with her and brought her home just yesterday. She is very easy going and very happy.

Brian and I celbrated our seven year anniversary at the beginning of June. It is hard to believe we have been married that long. I feel like it was just yesterday that he asked me to marry him.

Brian continues to work at the bank. He stays busy between a 40 hour job, teaching Jr. High youth at our church, filling in to teach Sunday School, being a daddy of three girls and being a husband. He is very busy but always seems to find time to make sure all of his girls have time with him and feel special.

Me - I continue to love being a mother. I love the fact I am able to stay home with my little ones and raise them in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Life is very hectic between laundry, cleaning, cooking, caring and playing. (this is just at home - not to mention the things I am involved with in my church).

Until next time....

Eventful Day

Yesterday was an eventful day.  I won myself a trip to the Emergency Room!  :(  After having heart palpitations on and off all morning long and feeling like my heart was going to beat out of my chest, Brian took me to the ER to get checked out.  They did an EKG, blood work, urine sample, thyroid test and monitored me for a while.  Come to find out I was having an anxiety attack. They gave me some meds for that and then sent me home.  I get the results from my thyroid test back today.  Everything else checked out fine!  What a LONG day.  I am thankful to the Father for keeping me safe.

Hectic Life

I admit - I am having trouble keeping up.  There are sleepless nights which make for long days.  Adjusting to life with three little ones has and continues to be a difficult thing.  We just can't find out nitch in life yet.  I am certain it will come soon!  

Since the last time I wrote - we had a major catastrophe.  Our water heater busted at 2am a couple of weeks ago.  Floors were ruined in two rooms and we are in the process of getting new carpet and flooring.  

Emma Kate (our accident prone child) was in the bath tub the other night playing.  Stood up to do something and fell and hit her head on the bath tub faucet.  She is now the owner of a nice black eye.  She thinks it is pretty cool and wants to tell everyone about it.  

Caroline had a visit to her ENT yesterday.  This was just for a routine check up to make sure her tubes are still in and doing the right thing.  We are thankful to report that things look good for her.  Now if we could only get her to say more words!  :)

Maggie Ann had her 6 week check up yesterday.  She is doing well and growing big.  Those lungs may have had a hard time at the beginning of her life but they are working just fine now!  She is now 10 pounds 8 ounces and 22 1/4 inches long.  She is in the 90% in everything.  (Looks like she is going to follow in her sister, Caroline's footsteps).

Brian and I continue to be okay.  We are quite busy these days and sometimes barely have time to sit down and just talk.  I am reminded each day that this i just a season of life and too soon it will pass!  

Until next time......
