Favorite Foto Friday #98 - RED, WHITE & BLUE!

Summer is just flying by and I know I am the worst blogger out there as far as updates. Great intentions, but not so great on the follow through. With that... I am taking a bloggy break for an undetermined amount of time. I won't be hosting Favorite Foto Fridays for the rest of the month of July... check back in August and we will resume when presumably things will be settling down into more of a routine! No linkies will be posted here but feel free to keep on posting those FFF and check back here in August for the resumption of FFF. And, you never know... may have to do a little giveaway for FFF post #100!!

No need to worry about us... just lots of things going on.

To follow the theme this week, I am posting a little Fourth of July through the years of my littlest US citizen!!

Here is MckLinky!! It has worked great for us! Hopefully, when we return in August, we will have more families participating again and MckLinky will be our best friend! This list will remain open through Saturday and after that, the linky will be closed to additions!



As always, thank you so much for stopping by! I love all my bloggy buddies! See most of you around Facebook!

Favorite Foto Friday #97 - HOME!

I am excited about this week's theme because my first born baby, Morgan, is HOME from her month long exchange trip to Argentina! She had a fabulous time and an experience she will never forget! We missed her so much!!

She arrived home to a gathering at the airport and one very excited little sister who ran up to give her a giant hug!




Here is one excited little cutie-patootie helping her sissy with her luggage! Tee hee... couldn't resist!


Plus, I have "home" on the brain! I am in the process of getting my current home ready and staged to sell. I am so incredibly sad about moving my family from the place we have taken from house to home and made it perfect in our eyes. Yet, I am excited about the possibility of a new start for all of us! With the economy the way it is, some instability in my career and some very deep debt I have found myself in from medical bills, school tuition, failed investments, etc... it is time for us to move down to a more affordable home and lifestyle.

Here is our current home now... I just love it...


I am going to miss it so much!! The nightly dance parties and gently swinging on the porch are my absolute favorite time of day!

Looking forward to visiting all your HOME pictures this week!!

I am so excited about our new MckLinky system! I feel like we are finally able to reconnect by seeing everybody right here in one place! Hope you all love it too! Thanks to MckMama and Brent (Abby's Dad) for developing our new linky widget!



Next week's theme... your favorite RED, WHITE and BLUE picture! Have a fabulous Fourth of July holiday weekend! Happy Birthday, America!!

My name is...

SOPHIE!!

And I can write it all by myself (with a little help from mom with my "S")!!

Mommy is so proud of her baby bug!! I am pretty proud too!
