First Day of School & Excellent News!!!





 Good Morning Stamping Friends & Happy Hump Day to all of you!!!!

First, I want to thank everyone for the get well wishes, cards & emails I received!  You have no idea how happy you made my days laying around in bed....it was no fun but I'm glad I followed Dr.'s orders!  Speaking of which; surgery has been avoided for now!!!!!  I feel so much better...no more bleeding or stomach pains...my last check up turned out very well so he took me off bed rest & I've spent the last couple of days just trying to catch up with back to school stuff.  I'm not overdoing anything....my kiddos are still cooking & cleaning while I slowly get back to my normal routine.  As a matter of fact; today was the first day that I've worked out since being put on bed rest & I'm a bit sore from that LOL!!!

As you can see from the pics above; my younger ones are pretty excited about the first day of school!  Brandon is such a big guy...he's towering over me now!  He is a freshman & I'm very curious to see how much he's going to grow before he's a sophomore!  Bianca is an 8th grader & expressing her beautiful image via her hair.  She asked me about a year ago if she could wear her natural hair or an afro....no chemicals---I know I've gone this route peeps but I did not encourage her at all!  I told her of course she could but she would have to transition the chemicals out or get her hair cut....she chose to transition for a little over a year & just about a week ago; her Dad trimmed off the rest of her relaxed ends.  She is now sporting a head full of naturally curly & super soft hair....I've never seen her smile so much!!!!  It actually takes me back to her baby days when she ran around with her hair like that & right now I'm just glad to see her so happy!!!!!

I hope you enjoyed my little update & pics everyone!  I'm going to piddle around getting some things done while I wait for my email to act right.  It's been out for quite a while now so I can't check in with peeps like I want!  Thank you so much for hanging in there with me & I'll be back to creating soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

  11. So happy to know that you are doing better and no surgery! Your children are just beautiful and they look older than what you say. Your daughter's hair is fabulous. I'd love to have naturally curly hair, but instead I got this naturally straight and don't try to do anything different kind of hair. LOL!
