An Update...


Just 'cuz I want you to see how good our girl looks:


What a beautiful sight! (And, just to reassure you...those braids have been unbraided, washed, and rebraided many times!)

I was very hesitant to take Belle to the Wild game on Saturday, but her big brother fought for her cause...told us that she'd be comfortable, not "exposed" to many people, and we could wheel her in via stroller.

So, we did. She was VERY happy to get to go (I was originally planning on staying back with her...) and it was great to get together with family!


She's been more active, having MUCH less pain (basically getting by on just ibuprofen), eating yogurt like it's going out of style, and even got outside for a bit yesterday to watch her daddy burn our field:


Still needs to gain some weight back, and work on her energy levels, but we're doing very well!

Today marks the first day back to school for her in over 2 weeks (thankfully they were on spring break for part of the time she missed..."thankfully" for her not having to miss as much school, not "thankfully" that she was sick for spring break!), she is just going for a couple of hours, due to previously scheduled dental appointments!

Tuesday will also be a 1/2 day for her...I don't want her to get worn out. I'm expecting by Wednesday, she'll be ready for full days again...although I am not the type to hesitate to keep her back or pick her up early if she needs it.

Once again, thank you ALL for your thoughts and prayers...they were/are very much appreciated!

    So good to see that "Belle" is up and around and feeling better. Bless her sweet heart. What an ordeal for a young gal to go through.

    Thanks so much for the update on her.

    Have a good week.

    Hi Mama M!
    Wow, you and your family have been going through a tough time so recently - I have been reading a bit on your blog. I am sorry you lost a brother in law, it's always such a huge impact, but especially when he is leaving a young family behind as well as so many whose lives he has touched. At the same time a wonderful witness as to how he lived his life...
    Praying God's presence and comfort over all your lives. May He strenghten you all at the moments when you miss him most. Grateful the Belle is home and getting well again. May God's hand be over y'all!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte...
