Our Little Peanut

I was 5 weeks pregnant when I found out...it was June 17, 2006, a day before Father's Day.  I took 2 pregnancy tests, because I just couldn't believe it!  I immediately got in my car, drove to K-mart & got Chris his very 1st Father's Day card...that's how I told him(but I was exploding w/ excitement and told the cashier lady first...shhh, don't tell!:).  So when Chris got home, I gave him the card as I was just about to jump up & down!!...SILENCE...followed by, the classic response, "are you serious?"  How romantic.  Anyway, it took a day or 2 to sink in, but we were both overjoyed over our little peanut!

                                                Our Little Peanut!  Chris & I just knew that we were destined to have a boy...& had already picked out his name, Charles Robert Vandergrift and we were going to call him Charlie:)  We were so exicted & bets were being made whether it would be a boy or a girl.  So, it was finally time to find out!!  To our surprise...it was a GIRL?!?!  What?!  That change our whole world upside down!  Shocked but excited, Chris & I went out for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's & called all of our family members to tell them the news!  Then, we thought...what are we going to name her?  Oh boy!  There were soooo many names thrown at us, then Chris finally decided that HE was going to name her & give her my middle name(spelled different)...she would be called Hailey Lynn Vandergrift....I liked it!


So here's Hailey's 4-D ultrasound...:)  Precious!  She was a "kicker"...but kept me so warm through the winter months!

           My last baby shower...about 1-2weeks before she decided to enter this world!

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express!  We love snow days!!                                   Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt....   After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
