Why must our babies get big??

Gracie is ALREADY 4 months old and counting........which means.....

SITTING IN HER HIGH CHAIR AND EATING OFF A SPOON!

SITTING UP BY HERSELF!

And many more things that are new everyday!

But what else would I have to blog about if she didnt get big...?

GOBBLE GOOBLE.....

said the turkey cookies......... OR shall I say Turkey farm??

HAVE YOU CALLED A CONVERSATION "CUTE"??

EITHER HAD I UNTIL I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MY 4 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER!

HER LITTLE COOES ARE SOOOOO PRECIOUS AND SHE LOOKS AT YOU SO SERIOUS LIKE SHE REALLY UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND HER LITTLE EYE BROWS MOVE UP AND DOWN WHEN SHE'S GABBING BACK.

ITS TOO PRECIOUS!

EVEN WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING A 'COO' SHES SAYING IT'S THE BEST CONVERSATION I'VE EVER HAD! :-)

Best Church Markey I've Seen!

The BEST vitamin a Christian can take is.....

B1 !

There's A Ghost In My House!!

Lately, I have been watching Ghost Hunters on T.V. at night. I'm so intrigued by it! I've never seen a ghost, and the thought of seeing one gives me chills, but such a thrill, UNTIL IT HAPPENED!!!

Yesterday morning I was sitting in the living room feeding Gracie, and all of a sudden I heard a LOUD man's voice, as if he was sitting next to me! I couldnt make out what was said though. Immeditatly I turned towards the TV, and Radio. Both we're turned off! But what caught my eye was the equalizer, it was MOVING! That wont move unless the TV or Radio is on.

THEN!

I was in the kitchen boiling eggs, and went to the cupboard to get a new jug of juice out. I opened it and poured a glass, after drinking, I knew I only had a tiny bit left in it to cover the bottom of the glass. I turned to stir the eggs and when I turned to grab the glass, IT WAS FULL!! I KNOW I didnt pour more juice, I even checked the fridge to make sure. And I KNOW because I had JUST opened it and knew how much was left!

Now I'm FREAKING OUT that theres a ghost in my house! But AT LEAST 'he' is friendly enough to pour me more juice!

Oh How I LOVE The Beautiful Leaves of Fall....

BUT NOT ON MY LAWN!!!!

Today I was feeling quite spunky and I haven't been outside much since Gracie's been born, so this afternoon while Gracie was taking her daily snooze, I decided that I was going to rake the front lawn.

I gathered my 2 rakes, pooper scooper (to pick up the leaves) and a lawn bag and got to rakin!

About half way through I'm realizing that I'm not getting anywhere. I obviously didn't think this whole raking adventure all the way through. ITS WINDY TODAY!

Every time a car drove by, there goes my pile I just spend 20 minutes making.... Then of course, school was just getting out and the buses were driving down the street, causing wind to blow the oh so beautiful leaves of the tree.....right onto the part I just raked!! GRRR!!

As I'm raking I remembered that when I was a kid and my mom would make my brother and I rake leaves, I would do a terrible job just to get it done and call it 'good'. Well now that its MY lawn and it seems like I was chasing after EVERY leaf that fell, just so I can have a pretty lawn!

I know God is up there laughing at me. But that's OK. It just made me rake faster! lol!

Well that caused a problem too! All of a sudden I feel this burning, tingling feeling on my hands!

Longgggg behold BLISTERS! The WORST of kind you can get! I think about 3 layers of skin is missing! OUCH!

But that didn't stop me! I had to get all these piles of leaves in the bag before the wind decided to blow and I wanted to show Chris that I do more than just sit at home inside all day and do 'nothing' ( i guess watching our baby is considered 'nothing') .... so I'm hustlin and hustlin, trying not to touch the blisters....

THEN i get a GREAT idea! Why not rake all the leaves to one side of the lawn, so the main part of the lawn looks good, because I how no idea when Chris going to be pulling up. So I do that... meanwhile, I gotta run inside and check on Gracie and get something to drink.

Seriously, that took me about 2 minutes or less and by the time I walked to the front door to step out on the porch, I looked and said to HECK WITH IT! It didnt even look like i accomplised anything!

And you know what the kicker is outta this WHOLE thing......................

IT'S NOT EVEN MY TREE PRODUCING THESE FLIPPIN' LEAVES!

GRRRR!
(and yes all the leaves are in a pile in the neighbors yard who owns the tree:-) )

Do you have an Addiction??

So lately I find myself obsessing over taking pictures...

Gracie is my new little model!

Ever since she was born, I haven't seem to put the camera down.

It's like an addiction!

LOTS AND LOTS of pictures in this Campbell house!

2085 to be EXACT!

People think I'm nuts.... especially because she only 3.5 months old!

I HAVE to have the camera within an arms reach from me at all times.... you NEVER know what kinda AMAZING thing she's going to do.... or what PRECIOUS smile she's going to give :-)

Gracie's 1st Halloween!!

Halloween was pretty low-kay this year, minus the all the outfits that My aunt's had bought for her.

Of course they all wanted pictures in the outfits, they bought.... and I just knew Gracie wasnt going to like it.... So I bite the bullet and made a day of it!

For Halloween Gracie was a DUCK, but besides that.... she was a:

CAT

SCARY GHOST

PUMPKIN

AND HER DUCKY COSTUME!

Although she didn't do any Trick-or-Treating we did 'walk' (stroller) around with her cousin. I'm sure we'll have more fun next year :-)

Church...?

For months now I've been contemplating on going to Church...

I really want Gracie to grow up going to Church and having God in her life as well as ours.

So I've talked to Chris about it, and he wants to go also.

Now, its just a matter of which Church to attend....?

Amazing....

Soooooo... I caught myself humming this morning....
not my usual tune.....
it was a twinkle, twinkle little star...

Not but a year ago, I'd be humming or singing a rap or country song...
isn't it AMAZING how our rap and hip hop tunes turn to lullabies after having a baby???

Or when you're standing and you catch yourself swaying back and forth, as if you're still holding your baby???

AMAZING!
