My new business venture!

Ok, so I finally posted a few pictures of the shirts I've been making. You can see the rest here. I'm trying my hand at this to see what happens. Hopefully we can put some money aside for when the baby comes! I can add any of the rhinestone patterns to any of the shirts. The white ribbed tanks run true to size and are extra long for layering. The pink and camo tees run a little on the small side. The baby shirts are made to order with your choice of fabric and size. The ones shown are 0-3 months. You can see the prices by clicking on the image at the link above. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing any of these, they make great gifts for birthdays and baby showers! I will be adding new items each week. I will also take requests! Email me for questions, aprillandes@houston.rr.com Thanks for your support!

I really wanted to find this song to post on my player here but it's too new. However, I love the video I found with it on You Tube. It just reminds me of how big our God really is and how our mind cannot comprehend his love and forgiveness. Even after God has redeemed us, it's our sinful nature that reminds us of who we used to be. God's promise is however, never failing. He doesn't leave us where we are, yet he picks us up and reminds us of his hugeness. What a God we have!

26 Weeks and playing catch up!

I can't belive how big my belly is! I did visit the dr. last Tuesday and I'd only gained 3 pounds since my last visit over a month ago. Which is great, considering the 12 pounds I put on the month before! Seems like the weight gain may be slowing down a little. Other than that, everything is going great. It's really hot and the summer is going to be brutal at this size!

Here are some pictures from out belated Independedence Day Celebration with my dad in Florida. Matt and I took a quick, but much needed trip to Central Florida a few weeks ago to visit with my dad, step-mom and step-sister and brother and his daughter Haley. It was Haley's 8th birthday and she was so funny! Take a look...

Happy Birthday Haley!

Even Simba, my dad's very overweight cat joined in the festivities!


My dad's famous homemade pizza! Straight from the Texas Alamo Pizza Oven, handmade by my True Texan Dad! (complete with longhorns!)

The Fireworks Display! Actually, there was a really cool one going on behind the "Sparkler Show" but the boys were more entertained with the kids fireworks....go figure!



The Teacher and the Student. My dad was showing Matt how to pop a bull whip. It was very loud!! Not to mention, dangerous. You could see a spark when he popped it. It took him a while, but he finally got it...then he wouldn't put it down!

More Baby Johnny Pics!

I had the pleasure of taking a quick trip to Longview this weekend to see my baby nephew for the first time. Here are some pictures from my trip.

What a wonderful Maker we have! As I sat and held my new baby nephew I was captured by the details of his tiny body! Everything was perfect! I held him a lot and did not want to put him down. I missed him all the way home. I can't wait to have one of my own to keep! :)
