What's been going on....

I had a fabulous Mother's Day with my two favorite people, Rylie and Stewart of course! They had the most beautiful bouquets of roses, one large white bouquet and one from our private collection that grows on a trellis on the side of our house. They bloom every year around Mother's Day, so it is tradition that some of those are harvested in addition to the store-bought roses! Stewart's first attempt at making French toast proved to be successful...yum! They also had a sweet card in which Rylie drew a smiley face and a gift certificate to a local spa!! Wonderful! Thanks, you two, for a special day! The picture above is Rylie showing off the painting I did for my Mom for Mother's Day....

Here is our girl applying some of Mommy's lipstick that she found in the bathroom! Can't leave them alone for a second!

Rylie's first dance recital....she proudly got on stage and performed with her peers, however, by the time the recital started we had been there for 3 hours practicing and prepping, so she was pretty much exhausted and over the whole thing! She did great though...I was so proud of her for getting up there and she was the youngest in her class!

A lovely side-view of my gia-normous belly! I am all set to deliver Monday if he doesn't appear before then:)

My latest craft.....I give credit to Kelly Martin for posting a link to this cute and easy craft on her blog (thanks, kelly!). I promptly went to Lowe's and got supplies and voila.....new coasters! My old ones were a bit worse for the wear anyway:)

Have a great weekend and keep us in your prayers....baby Cohen will be here soon!

Stop by Starbucks May 7th-May 16th to get a Frappuccino blended beverage for half price! Happy hour last from 3-5 pm. Go here for more information. Yum! I would be all over this one if it weren't for the retched gestational diabetes! Maybe they have something decaf/sugarfree??? Anyway, props to SouthernSavers.com for the info. I love that site.....

Speaking of, this has been a good week for grocery shopping at Publix...I spent $54 and some change and saved almost $55 with coupons and sales. Even scored some free lunch meat, deoderant and neosporin:) If you go to this site, this week is BOGO on Sarah Lee bread and there are tearpads in the store that make your bread about .25-.30 cents a loaf if used with the online coupon. Happy Couponing!

Stewart decided to put the environmentally safe sticky traps in the back yard to catch little critters (aka chipmunks, which he hates). Before you say how nice that is to catch and release them, I am pretty sure he has plans for their demise upon capture. The other traps just weren't working! Today Rylie and I went in the backyard and there was a SNAKE caught in the sticky mess! I promptly called my hubby and he came home, got it out and concluded that it was not poisonous and released it down the street in a wooded area....hmmmm. Now THAT I wouldn't have minded if he killed off. The irony!

I had a OB appt. today....all is well with my little (maybe not so little) man. He is scheduled to make his appearance May 21, God-willing, via induction. Please keep us in your prayers. God is great and faithful to complete the good works he has started in us! I speak for all of the Fox family to say we are getting excited to meet Cohen:)

Rylie has her first dance recital Saturday....they are the cutest little things you have ever seen, all dressed up in their flower costumes! The routine may be a little rusty, but their cuteness makes up for their precision! Pictures will follow....

Have a great weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day....Children are a blessing from the Lord! Thank you, God!
