Well, I've done it! I've created another baby to nurture and care for. No! Not that type of baby!!! I've created a message board for Mississippi Mommies! It's www.Mississippi-Moms.com and it is fabulous! We already have MS native moms from Gulfport to ITALY! It's awesome. Some of the featured forums are "Bun in the Oven" for preggo moms, "Sweet Little Baby" for mom's with babies from 0-12 months, "CosmoTots" for kids 1-4 years, and other age group forums for support and networking. Also, there are fun forums about Hollywood Gossip, Current Events and Politics, General Talk, The Prayer Room, The Boudoir and others! We also have forums specifically for different areas of the state so that you can reach out to moms in your specific area of Mississippi. The site is a work in progress, so there is a forum for sugestions and a forum with site contests on different aspects of the forum that memebers get to submit and vote on. It's SO cool and I'm so proud of it. All ages of moms can join, so come check it out! Have fun posting!!!

Well, it's official. We have three MOBILE children. The girls can get to where ever they want now and it's not pretty. A while back I asked one of our pedatricians if it was ok that the girls were not crawling yet and she said, "Do you really WANT them to be crawling, Mandye?" Then she proceeded to tell me to knock them down when they start to walk!! Ha! She's only able to say this because she's preggo with her third right now and they're all under four, I think. I told her that we can just be crazy together. Anyway, so the girls are crawling. It's so funny! I think baby gates (BIG ONES) are in our future if we want to get anything done. We've also had some new personality developments. Camden has turned into a little drama queen. I'm sure it's from watching her sister all these months, though my mom says I shouldn't say that. Camden doesn't just cry when she's upset (which, I must say, is still not terribly often), she throws herself all around. She especially likes to throw her head back, which is what Aiden always did. They really are a lot alike. Carsen is much calmer and more pleasant tempered. When she's upset (which is usually whenever I'm not in her site), she cries and turns red...but she doesn't flail around like a fish like Camden does. It's pretty funny. My little girls are just too cute. They are so darn cute that I can hardly believe they're mine. I mean, how blessed am I to have two perfect children. Wait...THREE perfect children! I am UBER blessed.

So, last weekend we went down to see Anthony and go to Bryce's birthday party. Bryce is Aiden's best bud. This party was really the first time they've actually played together where I felt like they were actually enjoying each other and not just playing separately. It was too cute. We caught them playing their guitars together in the bedroom. I loved it. I got a pic in the album of it, if you want to see.

So, I almost lost Aiden at the party. I say that very non-chalantly, but it was very scary. I was standing outside talking and he was right there with me. Next thing I know, he's gone. I went inside to see if he went in with Anthony, but no Aiden. I went back out and Jason, Bryce's dad, helped me look. By the time I got to the front of the house, Brandie and some others were also looking for him. About the time I was just about to freak, I hear "We've got him!" The neighbors found him TWO HOUSES DOWN! I felt all the blood drain from my face and, of course, I cried. I feel incredibly stupid, too. But now I know just how quick things can happen and I'm aware, if only for a brief moment, of just how frightening and terrifying it is to lose your child. Now I'm going to by a leash...three of them. Don't make fun. I'm doing it!

Ok, so onto brighter news...It's only a month until Anthony is here for good. I said the official good-bye to my house this past weekend. I didn't cry, which is shocking-I KNOW! I did almost cry when I left Anthony, though. I can't imagine how hard it's been for him being down there without us. I wouldn't be able to do it. God blessed me with a strong husband, and I am so thankful for him. Now if we can just get him a job :-) And sell my house :-)

So we are looking forward to more of this beautiful weather that we've had of late. It's just too pretty. It's supposed to cool off this weekend in time for St. Patty's Day, but it's ok. This gorgeous week is a gift. Yesterday I took some pretty pics of the Bradford Pear trees that line our driveway at Mom and Dad's. When I walked out of the house this morning, they took my breathe away, and for those who know about Bradford Pears, I'm talking about because of the beauty AND the scent. Luckily, this time of year my alergies are usually so bad that I can't smell the trees. They smell equally as bad as they are beautiful. Phew! But they sure are pretty!!

We has some pictures made the other night by Ali Gillette's mom (see links for Ali's page), our friend Lindsey. Check her page periodically and you might see some familiar faces!! I hope Linds posts some soon. I'm getting anxious to see them.
I'll post some if she's ok with that.

Well, Happy Easter Season, everyone.
Love,
Mandye
