No pictures today...

Hi all. No pictures today. Unfortunately, our battery to our camera is gone. I am so upset about this. We took our camera to a baby shower yesterday and somewhere between our kitchen table and their house and back, the battery has gone missing. We didn't take the camera out of the bag, so we don't know what happened. We have searched our house and our friends have searched theirs, so I just don't know what to do about it. It is gone. :(

We did have a good weekend together though. I don't know why, but the weekends always seem to fly by so quickly. I feel like we finally get to Friday night and I blink my eyes and Brad is headed back to work. His big project started at work today, so he had lots to do to prepare. His mom came last night and helped him make the posters he needed.

Will is doing much better. His nose is still a little stuffy, but he seems to be feeling so much better. Last night he fell asleep around 8:30, I put him in his crib at 9 and he did not wake up until 5:30 this morning. It was so nice...especially since I fell in the bed around 9:15. I felt like I got some good sleep.

I got another cake order for this weekend. It is for a baby shower, but it has a princess theme. So, I am making a princess doll cake. The lady needs it Saturday, but we are going to the mountains then, so I told her she would get it Friday. She seemed happy with that.

Well, Will is taking his afternoon nap, so I am going to go fold laundry and start on dinner. Hopefully the battery will turn up, or we may be going to Best Buy...I can't go that many days without new pictures.

We love the weekend!!




We Ruckers sure do love the weekends. That means Daddy is home with us, and we can relax. This morning Will went with Daddy to watch his tennis team play. They both went so that Mama could have a little quite time and time alone to relax and get ready for the day. Daddy didn't have to play this morning, so they just went and enjoyed being spectators. The fresh air did good for Will. He is feeling a lot better today, so that is good. We snapped a picture before they left (see the one in his Yankees hat in his car seat).

The cakes were for the Toothman triplets. I made their ducky cakes last week, and today was their cupcake party. They had a big cupcake cake, miniature cupcake cakes for their smash cakes, and I made extra regular cupcakes (not pictured) for guests. They turned out really cute!!

Brad and I went to Sam's today and did some shopping. He has a big project at work on Monday and needed some things for it. We are having arts and crafts time tomorrow afternoon for the project. His mom is going to help us...makes me think of all the stories of her doing his school projects. Haha. We are going to dinner with his parents tonight.

Will is with his Nana and Granddaddy tonight. We will get him on our way to a baby shower tomorrow. He loves to stay over there, and it gives Mama and Daddy a little break.

Next weekend we are going to the mountains with Meme, Poppy, Aunt Beth, Uncle Zack, and cousin Baby Kate. It should be very fun. I will take lots of pictures and post them when we get back.

Well, Brad just went out to cut the grass and I think I am going to go put some laundry in and maybe vacuum the house. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Still sick...







So, my baby boy is still sick. He has not had a fever according to the doctor (did you know an official fever is 100.5F?) but he has had a temp of 99.7, and to me, that is a fever. I am giving him Tylenol and just praying that he will get better. His nose is yucky, and he is irritable. One good thing though, he has slept from 10pm until about 6:30am for two nights.

Anyway, here are a few pictures. Myra took the one of us together and the one of him in his car seat with his lovey. One is him in mid roll the other day. The one in the blue outfit was this morning and then the one posing with the passy was last night. What a precious angel!!!

Cakes

Here is a cake I did this past weekend for some triplets. I went to high school with their mom. This is their big cake and their individual smash cakes. They are having another party this weekend with a cupcake theme. I am doing those cakes as well.


What a Day

Not only did Will wake up this morning with his first cold, but two other things happened. Yesterday he was playing with his thumb and sucking it a little, but today he really went to town on it. Luckily, I got a picture. Also, he turned over three times from his tummy to his back. It was so cute. I hate that Daddy was at work and missed it, but I am sure he will do it again for him. Here are two pictures from today. As you can tell, the cold is making Will a little emotional.


The past 10 1/2 weeks











The past 10 1/2 weeks have been the best. I can't remember my life without my son, Will. He is just so precious, and Brad and I are truly blessed to be his parents. Here are some of my favorite pictures of him over the past 10 1/2 weeks. Keep checking back to see what Will is up to. I will update as much as possible so that you don't miss a thing!!
