An Update and Word to the Wise

At the end of March I went down to Texas to visit my brother and sister-in law, Jen and Andre, and attend their new baby, Brighton's, blessing.  I had a really good time, once I finally made it to Texas.....

Here is me and Chad before we left to go to the airport.  Little did I know that once I got to the airport I would be sitting in it the entire day because my flight had been cancelled.  I was supposed to arrive in Houston at 6:30pm, and I didn't get in until about 12:30am!  It was a reallllly long day!
These are a couple of pics while I was down there:


I had a really good time!  Thanks Andre and Jen for letting me come and visit!


More recently......

I am so glad that I was able to get this picture.  It makes me laugh so hard when I look at it :)
As most of you know, my wallet was stolen a couple of days ago, and in it was my ID, SS card, 2 credit cards, some cash, and some gift cards.  Well, the people that stole it went on a MAJOR shopping spree and spent over $3000.  I reported it to the police and they said that it was pretty common and that they would do what they could, but that they couldn't guarantee that they would ever find anything.   A little frustrating.  So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I am tracking down every place that these scoundrels spent my money to see if they have video camera security so that maybe we can find out who they are.  Anyways, my girls aren't as enthusiastic as I am about going around to the different stores......


and last, but not least....A WORD TO THE WISE.....BLINDS ARE DANGEROUS!!!!

I have heard of kids getting hurt with blinds, but it was always kind of at the back of my mind until the other day.  Oaklee climbed up in the window (which she has never done before) and got the cord wrapped around her neck.  I had just gone upstairs to make a bottle for Pemberlynn, and I was on my way back down.  I was maybe gone for 2 minutes tops.  It happened that fast!  We are sooooo thankful that she is ok, and that things didn't go a different way!  Scared the crap out of me! Here is her poor little neck....

And that is most of our life for the past couple of weeks......

It sounds like you have had quite the time the last couple of weeks. Good luck finding who stole your wallet! You will have to keep us updated. Are you going to have to pay for what they spent? What about your S.S. card? Yikes!

Jen said...

Oh my gosh poor Oaklee. What a week!!! I hope things go better for you.

Elizabeth said...

Oh my gosh!!! Look at her neck!! That would have scared the living crap out of me, as I'm sure it did you!!! Gosh......you always think, that won't happen to me, and then it does! SCARY!!! Glad she is okay!

YIKES! holy crap for sure! :) I would have been bawling. poor thing. I'm so sorry you have to go chasing around town to find the **** that stole your wallet. :(

J and L said...

OUCH!!! Yeah, I'd have been totally freaked out too! I'm glad that she's okay. Jared has been meaning to call you about the wallet being stolen. He went through all that about 4/5 years ago and may have some helpful info. Well, I hope that things start going better for you. Good thing you have those adorable girls to keep you laughing! LOVE THAT PIC!!

You have had your share of bad luck lately:( First the CC incident and now your poor little girl! I think you should share these with people and your little hair around the toe incident. I had never even heard that was possible and I remember finding hair in Kenley's pjs numerous times! WOW! I am so glad both of your girls are okay!
