MFT Color Challenge

I have wanted to participate in MFT Challenges for quite some time now. I finally got a chance to make a card for this weeks challenge.
I subscribe to Jennifer McGuire's blog and a couple of weeks ago she made a cat card that I just loved so I had to buy the cat set I Knead You just for this cat that I love - he's so cute!
So this isn't an original card, I copied the design from Jennifer McGuire.  You can see her cat card here.

Here is my take on the card using the MFT colors.  I am still acquiring the MFT inks and cardstock so I had to use other cardstock except for the Coral Crush.

Alice's Baby Blessing

Alice was blessed on February 8th at Lyndie & Nates' home. Alice isn't supposed to be around a lot of people quite yet. This one of my mom and Alice is so special to me.  They have both been through so much the past several months. This was the first time my mom saw Alice.

Four generations :)

All of our family together. This always makes me happy.

Alice looked so pretty in her blessing dress.

 Sweet little Lissy girl.

Christmas with our Whole Family

We had a nice Christmas together as a family. This is the first year we didn't go to our parents on Christmas. With our growing family we decided it would be nice to home.

Just before everyone was leaving we got our first family picture of all 9 of us.  Alice was not happy and Callie was checking out my hair, but at least we were altogether in a picture.

I went a little wild on buying clothes for Callie and Alice.  They were so fun to buy for.

Alice Finally Gets to Come Home!

After 98 days in the NICU Alice was finally able to come home on November 16th.  Lyndie & Nate had to spend the night before in a private room with Alice so they could practice caring for her and her special needs.

 This day was long awaited and we were so grateful for all the loving care the doctors and nurses gave to Alice.

Carmen was one of our favorite nurses and we were glad she was there when Alice got to go home.  She had to wear a gown and be the one to take Alice downstairs and put her in the car.

Below is Lyndie holding Alice in her own bedroom at home.  She was originally due on November 26th which made her able to come home 10 days before her due date.

Halloween 2014

On the morning of Halloween we went down to the hospital to see Alice. We were able to hold her in her private little room.  We definitely got our "Treat" that day.

I bought a pumpkin at Walmart and told Jandie and Colin they needed to carve a pumpkin this year so they could get a picture of Callie by it. We always did this with our kids as they grew up.

Cute little Callie in her Minnie outfit.

Callie's Baby Blessing - October 2014

Callie 2 months old and Alice in the NICU.

 

 I took some family pictures of Jandie, Colin and Callie in October.

 Alice continues to grow and progress in the NICU.

Callie was blessed by Colin at a special baby blessing over at the Magleby's on October 12th.

 Four generations on the Magleby side.

 Four generations on the Norman side.

Callie was almost 3 months old on her blessing day.
