Tarleton Family

I'm sorry what did you say!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a long time life has been hectic to say the least. First my husbands step mother was in the hospital for a week with a mysterious illness. They finally released her and she is fine. Next, my husbands grandmother was in the hospital and we went to Tampa to visit her. Then my mother went into the hospital for a diabetic infection. They wanted to amputate her foot but we fought with antibiotics and have managed to save it so far. Of course thats IV antibiotics at home for six weeks. Then my husbands grandmother passed away. That was another trip to Tampa for the funeral. When we got back my sister was moving from her apartment to a house. So when my period went missing and I got sick I thought it was stress. After about three weeks my husband looks at me and says "Could you be pregnant?" I thought to myself and said "No. It took over a year with Adaline to get pregnant I can't have a surprise." I was wrong. Not only was I pregnant. I was very pregnant. Almost 4 monthes. I'm due Sept. 2 and will have a C-section 2 weeks before. I missed one pill in December but it seems I actually conceived in November. It has taken some adjusting but I'm finally getting used to the idea and am excited and worried at the same time. What will I do with 3 children I barely keep up with 2. Later on I will post the sonogram on the little bug for all to see. I still have a hard time believing it.

Oh! The Spinning Dress.

Like all little girls Adaline has a "spinning dress." This is the dress a little girl will put on a for hours just spin and giggle. All little girls have them at one time or another. Yes, I know that techinicaly Adalines is a slip but to her it is a spinnig dress because "ook Mommy! Pitty" My older daughter had one as well.

This is Jocelyn in her spinning dress at age 4. She still has this dress three years later and likes to put it on so she can "ook Mommy! Pitty!"

So who can deprive my little girl of her spinning dress(slip). Not I. It makes me think when was the last time I wore a spinning dress. It was when I got married because I could "Look Mommy! Pretty" I think every girl needs a spinning dress at some point in her life. When was your last spinning dress?

Life Has Been Busy!

2007-11-19T07:08:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. We have been very busy. My sisters due date was yesterday and no action. We have walked her clear across the state it feels like. The little guy is still hanging in there. It would figure with the first grandson in the family he would be stubborn. I am off this week for fall break. Yeah!!! I decided to make the baby a knitted blanket from Aunt Leslie. It has now become a personal mission not to let it defeat me. I put a sail boat in it. Now I am working on the border. I will complete it. As soon as he is here I will post a pic of him. Until then......

2 years old

This is Adaline Angelique Tarleton at 1 day old. She was born 8 weeks early. Looking at her then and at her now it is hard to believe this little 5 lb baby is the same person.

Here is Adaline at her first birthday party. Happily she has shown no signs of being effected by being premature. She does have a very sensitive stomach due to the fact she could not digest food when she was born.

Now here is my bundle of energy at 2 years old. When did this happen. It seems like only yesterday I was praying we could leave the hospital and now you would never know she was premature except she is a little on the short side. Of course that may be genetic. We are going to have a little party for her on the 4th of July.
Happy Birthday Adaline!

Moomaw Abducted

2007-06-02T12:43:00.001-07:00

23 months old and 7 yrs old

Missing since Tuesday
Last seen in company of Moomaw

I did not realize how much my life actually revolved around my children until my mother decided to take them for 2 weeks while I finished the school year. I come home and am lonely since my husband works late. My house has stayed clean(I wonder why) so I don't need to do housework. Don't me wrong it is nice to have a break. Them spending time with family is one of the main reasons we moved back to the states but I just want them back at my house. So I will sit out this Moomaw abduction and enjoy another year until the next one. So for anyone who thinks they would like a long break from the kids just think of how much you do with them before you let it happen.

I'll give it a try.

I have watched a friend of mine do a blog for a long time now. I have been able to watch her children grow and have felt like I haven't missed that much because I can check in with them on a daily basis. So I have decided to give this a try and let my friends and family experience the same thing.
These two are my life. Jocelyn is seven years old. She is full of energy and loves to cut, glue, color and draw. If it is art she wants to do it. Adaline will be two at the end of June. She loves to do whatever her big sister is doing. Here they are waiting for bed time and as a calm down activity have decided to color a picture for our art gallery(some might call this the refrigerator). Refrigerator art will always be my favorite. I actually have a finger painting that Jocelyn did when she was two. I can't remember her fingers being that little. So I think Adaline will make her finger painting this weekend to put in the scrapbook.
