Baby Eliza is home!

Carey & Eliza waving bye!

I know many of you have been following Carey and Kyle's story and I know they appreciate all the kind words and support. As of this weekend,  these proud parents were finally allowed to take their baby girl, Eliza home. 

 HAPPY HOMECOMING BABY ELIZA!  

The Family

4th of July Foods

Originally, I had planned on doing something at our home on the 4th of July.  I had these photos below in my files for ideas for the big day.  Sadly, the time flew past me and didn't have anytime to do any of it.

   Thought I share some of the cute ideas. 

Blog Vacation

Where did I go??! Sorry about that!  I think.... I took a little blog vacation over the 4th of July holiday.  I enjoyed my time off and here's some of the pictures from my blog vacation.

I'm not even going to lie.....I want to see this movie!  What woman doesn't want to see these guys and their amazing bodies?  Holy moly!!   Especially Channing Tatum! Caliente!  I don't even know the premise of the movie but I really don't care.   But.... to my SHOCK...I read reviews yesterday and it's actually getting decent ratings.

Cake Wrecks

Yesterday, a professional cake decorator/friend posted this article, click here, I couldn't believe it. This is a must read article as these wedding cakes are HORRIBLE!! Ohhh.. it's so important to check references when picking wedding vendors!

I started browsing the "Cake Wrecks" website and couldn't believe my eyes!
Who are these people? 

Wet Wedding Party

Note to Brides: Don't have weddings near water.  You're just asking for trouble.

The Fighter: Eliza Lyn

Where do I begin?  Well... Three weeks ago, as some of you may remember Carey had her baby shower.  Little did we know, Baby Eliza was going to grace this earth almost a week later.  I remember getting a text message from Carey that Monday morning stating "I'm going into an emergency c-section."  I can remember my heart dropping and thinking...wait...wait....the baby isn't due till July 22.   Also, when did Carey have time to text all her friends when she's about to have a baby??!!  haha  Love that Carey!

As I said before, Baby Eliza graced this earth on June 11, 2012 at 2lbs 7oz.  

Immediately, she was surrounded with love, family, friends and a lot of prayers. As you can imagine, the last two weeks have been challenging for my friends, Carey and Kyle.

Their days are filled with one main objective: ounces.  Gaining Ounces!   From what I've heard, Baby Eliza is a fighter and a good eater as well!  She's fighting for her ounces.  Each day, we get an update on if she has gained an ounce!  Each time we hear the wonderful news, it's rejoiced throughout Facebook!


The another day, I enjoyed reading this status from Carey's dad that read:

Many of you have asked.....How can you help??  Here's how you can:  MEAL TRAIN!  Click Here.  This will help with their time and allow them to focus on their hospital visits with their daughter. Who ever thought of this idea... is BRILLIANT!

Miss Meredith had to opportunity to meet Baby Eliza this week.....take some time to read her blog. CLICK HERE.

Please keep my friends and their beautiful daughter in your thoughts and prayers.
