This Past week

Once again we were out of town this past week.  We traveled the state North to South.  They have declared the area surrounding where my parents live, a disaster area, after 95mph hurricane-like winds tore through the QCA two weeks ago.  There were some still without power while we were there.  Trees and power-lines were down everywhere.  We [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy!

New pictures to come soon!  I thought I would share some new Hazelisms.  She is 7 and a half months and going strong.

The second half of our week in PB

Thankfully the second half of the week was less eventful.  No more trips to the hospital.  Hazel was in brighter spirits and we had a great visit.

Day In the ER

We had a bit of a scare the other day.  I am staying the week at my parents house since Phillip has been working out of town.  I fed Hazel some banana cereal, which she has had before, and put her down for a nap.  She slept for about two hours and then woke up [...]

Some more pics from Salem

I am trying to figure out how to download pics on my parents computer and have just discovered how to get the verticle ones to flip so I have a few more from the 4th of July weekend in Salem.  Also, they are huge and I cannot shrink them so it will be another gallery.
