pictures in the cottage!!!

One thing Jord and I liked about the condo when we looked at it for the first time was how the Crabb's had pictures everywhere!!! It made the place very homey! So Jord and I have finally (after a month and a half of living here) hung some pictures/frames!

This is the small wall in the dining room between the kitchen and living room. these are shadow box frames with displays of buttons i made from my great-grandmother's button collection- over 90 years old- most likely.

my sailboat paintings

to brighten up the stairway, i decided to go with white frames all the way up!! I want to add more frames as the years go by, but here's our start! (no pics yet.) I'm thinking of doing black and white pictures of us and our families!

we love our little home, and are thankful for the Lord's blessing us by letting us live here!

(coming soon.... my 5 months shot!!)

My cute fisherman and his sweet lures

This is my fisherman! He is very hot and is good at catching largemouth bass (most of the time!).I love posting pics of him, but I wanted to post some pics of his little bait lures that I think are so pretty:)ha ha (I'm a dork I know....sometimes I catch myself thinking about buying a lure to use as a necklace charm, wierd I know..if anyone catches me with one on, please yank it off)

these remind me of the song on Little Mermaid "Poor Unfortunate Souls" :)

this is my fave


that's all!

WILD BABY GIRL!

She kicks a lot!!!!

This is our little girl...she weighs 7 ounces, measures at 10-12 inches long,and has a strong heart beat!
We love her very much already and can't wait to meet her.

four more months to go!
thank you Lord for a healthy active baby so far.

baby track no.6

"I give you sleep"


Hands up
almost to weak to surrender
let your eyelids drop like your tears
and your pretty toys

the curtains
make the sun so blind and
then your mind is made up
when you realize - you can't fight

So sleep. I give you sleep

Your lashes
flutter with your baby dreams
oh I wish I could be there
singin' at your side

I'm so tired
yet I could sit and stare back
at your beauty all night
but I let you go

So, sleep. I give you sleep

gone for a little while
sleep in your baby style
hands flat like stars
up by your face
Cradle at my hand
your cry's like my command
when you break
out of your peace

So, sleep. I give you sleep.
but if you wake I'll comfort you and hold you till you fall back
asleep. I give you sleep
