4th OF JULY

Ever since yesterday I have been a flutter getting the house in order. We are hosting this year's 4th of July BBQ. Its just going to be family with the exception of my BIL bringing a lady friend as his date. At least I have taken care of the kitchen, family room, and the playroom is half way decent. What I needed was tea candles to put under my oil warmer. I had forgotten to buy them at the store while we were out. I knew my MIL had some stashed in the basement so I went to hunt them down. I looked everywhere and came across some of the Baby Invitations I had 4 years ago. That brought a lump in my throat. I so want another baby so much but things are not going the way we planned. Anyways, I am not going to bore you with my sob story for now. As for the tea candle I could not find it, we must have thrown it out by accident back when we were cleaning up the basement. I didn't give up though, I went looking upstairs in all the drawers and finally found one, lol. I guess it will have to do for tomorrow. We will be spending most of our time outside on the deck or in the pool tomorrow. Its going to be a perfect day to have a BBQ and dip in the pool when it gets to hot..

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!

WILL I EVER GET AN INVITE?

We all know that part of starting a family is the thought of how to share and tell your loved ones about the exciting news that you are having a baby. When we found out we were expecting we told everybody right away. There is just something about sharing the news that your having a baby. For expectant moms we start to plan and imagine what the baby's sex is going to be and what he/she will look like. Last year I had so many friends that got pregnant and had there babies this year. All of those first time and not so first time moms still had a blast when it was time for the baby shower. Of course a baby shower should also be special and a lot of thought should be put into the baby shower invitations that will be sent out to family and friends. I have never been to a baby shower before and would love to get an invite (hint, hint). I would also love to surprise someone with a baby shower party. I never had that for myself since I really didn't have any close friends nearby but still instead of giving me presents for my 29th birthday some of my family and friends gave me baby stuff instead.

GREAT GRANDMOTHER AT LAST

This year my MIL just became a great great grandmother. She was so ecstatic to find out that her first grandson is going to be a dad. Of course like most parents she was worried how Andrew would be able to support his growing family. Andrew just got over a very trying time in his life and he has gotten himself together. He now has a good head on his shoulder and is working hard to make up for all the bad mistakes he had made. Seeing my MIL so excited for the birth of her great grandchild is contagious. I was thinking of making the newest member in the Schifano family extra special by getting a Birth Announcements. This will be a way of announcing and telling the world of Andrews new commitment, his new strength and his hope. With holiday photo cards you can have your choice of picture to have customized to fit any season. They also make customized wedding invitations, wedding announcements and other special occasions. With photo cards that are of high quality gloss photographs this will surely become a keepsake worth treasuring.
