At Last
I finished Evie's birthday gift last Thursday (march 15), took it to the post office Friday and sent it out to her. Jessie called Monday afternoon saying that the package had arrived and that Evie had opened it and was at that very moment Oohing and Aahing over it. ( I could hear her in the background, Ooohooo!) So the limitations have been met and removed. The gift was a quiet book, and here are pix of all the pages and covers, inside and out. She loves it, her parents love it, and it's done! Yay! It was fun to do, but I'm glad it's in her hands now.
Happy Birthday, little tiny girl! Nonna loves you!
This last is the birthday card I made for Evie. Cuteness abounds!

Fun News
We got a call from Jessie on Tuesday. She had the fun news that she's expecting another little baby girl! Yay for all of us! We are very excited to be grands again in July, and to have another sweet little girl to love. More ribbons and ruffles and dimples.
Tad has had a change at work, so he'll be working a different assignment from now on, and possibly a different schedule. It'll bring changes and adjustments, but we are so grateful for his job, no matter what he does.
I'm still working on Evie's little birthday gift. It's coming together so well, I've really enjoyed doing it. I hope she has as much fun playing with it as I've had planning and making it. I'll post pictures of it when I've finished, after she's had a chance to open it and see what it is.
PS, Happy Anniversary to my parents! 49 years together! Yay for you both, I love you so much!

Still on Planet
I'm not going to apologize. I run the blog, the blog doesn't run me. We've had a busy 2 months, my sweetie is well and back to work. I've been busy on something for Little Tiny's birthday in 2 weeks. I have made another wreath, and it hangs on my front door. I've sewn another bow tie for Scott, cleaned my scrapbook room (i even vacuumed it!), been to the doctor with Tad for his followup appointments, and now I'm starting to feel like I can reclaim my life.
We returned to Tad's doctors last week so that he could have his follow up appointments. We visited with 3 different doctors in 3 different clinics, and got good reports from all of them. According to his pathology reports, genetic tests, surgical notes and every other bit of information in his charts, he is doing well, feeling great and is considered NED (No Evidence of Disease). The doctors are going to take a "watch and see" stance, and he will return every 3-6 months (depends on the doctors) for further tests and scans, but we fully expect that he's well. It is such a relief to us to have all the doctors of the same mind--"Go have a lovely life, check in with us periodically and we're happy you are doing so well". We've been so blessed, truly we've witnessed miracles. We even took Hailey with us for her last annual exam from her doctor, and he told her the same thing--She looks great, he doesn't need to see her again unless she has a problem, which we don't anticipate. It was a great trip, we came home feeling very good about life and our experience. It was a perfect opportunity to thank our Heavenly Father for his loving, watchful blessings.
We were even able to make the trip in a vehicle of our very own, for a change. It's not fancy, but we got a car last weekend. We had gotten our tax refund, and planned to put some money aside for when we had a chance to look for cars. Tad was running an errand last Saturday and came home to tell me that he'd found me a car. We stopped to look at it on the way home from the grocery store, called the lady's number in the window, and asked for a chance to drive it. It's really an old beater, as old as Hailey is, but it runs, and at this point, that's exactly what I need. There is always the plan to buy something a little newer and nicer in the future, but this has 4 wheels and seats and a steering wheel. I appreciate having the truck the last 9 months, but driving it in winter weather scares me, and so I am glad to have a car of my own.
Our baby girl is growing up! Here's proof--
She attended her first date dance last month, and she had the time of her life. Where do the years go? I can remember when she was the same size and age as Little Tiny, and now she's all grown up, wearing fancy dance dresses and dating boys! I am so proud of her!
I just realized that while I've mentioned making things for my mini tree, I don't think I've ever posted any pictures of it. It's just a baby sized Christmas Tree, but I've been decorating it with seasonal decor every month. I forgot to take pix and post them in December, January and February, but here is at least the decor for March, as well as my wreath, mentioned above. It's got green lights, shamrock garland, shamrock ornaments and gold coins. Isn't everyone a little bit Irish in March?
