"I like see Chey Chey at the hostibal"


A little update on the sweet little girl. My mom, Jamie and I went for a little visit today to see Cheyenne and her mommy. She was very happy, smiling and even laughing. She and Jamie had a good time playing in her little bed. Please continue to pray the medical team will come up with a diagnosis soon and that Cheyenne will begin to hold down food and gain weight. I will say, once again, how grateful I am for breastmilk. Jill continues to nurse her little girl who otherwise would most likely be dehydrated at this point. God certainly knew what He was doing with that one!

Please pray for little Cheyenne

Please pray for our dear friends and their 14 month old daughter. She has been admitted to Hopkins. She has not yet been diagnosed. To save the privacy of the family please just ask the Lord to be with Cheyenne and her medical team.

A Birthday Party!!!!


This past Sunday we went to our niece and nephew's birthday party. Christopher is now 3 and Anna is 1 year old! Crazy how time flies. I was so excited to attend this party, mostly because my SIL (the other Erin Gaeng) is a perfectionist and I just love to see her in action! She even had shirts made for Christopher, Jamie and her BFF's little boy Bennett. Well this party certainly did NOT disappoint. There was food galore, and no waiting around for it either. All the appetizers were out when we arrived and before I knew it the full lunch was out as well. And then of course there was cake, cake and more cake. (Yes, I must dwell on the food because eating is one of my favorite things to do!!!!!!!!!)
Of course the party part of the party was planned to perfection as well. It was Toy Story themed, which in itself is fantastic (Jamie loves himself some Buzz and Woody). There were pony rides on a real pony! A visit from Buzz Lightyear and Woody in person (with no lines, usually when we are meeting Buzz and Woody we are waiting 15 - 30 minutes in a hot line!)



And obviously there was a moon bounce, which the adults had fun bouncing in after the party was over! We all had a super great time. Jamie just loves spending time with his cousins! (And I can get my baby fix holding Anna) We had such a good time we stayed until 10:30 at night, even though the invitation clearly stated 1pm-4pm WOOPS!!!!

The Farm Fair!!!!

Ok so I'm a wanna be farmer. Well let me correct that. I want to live on a farm where the farmer does the farming and I hang out on the farm, looking all "country" and what not!!!! I used to want a cow, a pig and some chickens. I would tell this to everyone. I even told Timmy on our first date... "Ok so I want to be a stay at home mom on a farm." Hey, he didn't have to call me back, but he did (like everyday!!!!!) So we don't live on a farm, but I am blessed to stay at home with Jamie and we can visit the farm and of course go to the FARM FAIR!!!! I love the farm fair. I find it so fascinating to look at all the farm kids that show their animals and then sleep right there next to them. Well, Jamie loves the farm fair too and he proceeded to tell everyone "I a fahmer, I a traker ridah" (I'm a farmer, I'm a tractor rider). Of course the battery died on the camera about an hour after we got there, but I still managed to get some good pics.Jamie was a bit reluctant to venture out of his stroller at first. He had never seen a cow, pig or chicken quite that close up before. (Actually he has, but doesn't remember. This is his 3rd year at the farm fair.)But then he started to warm up.Jamie also has developed a strange fear of the "cock a doodle" He will run out of an empty room saying the cock a doodle is in there. So when it was time to visit the roosters he would have none of it! He wouldn't even pet the baby duck (too fowl like I guess!)
And of course we spent plenty of time at the John Deere display.Timmy was at work, but got home at about 8pm when we proceeded to go back to the fair for a short 45 minutes. At least the lady didn't make us pay again!!!

Broom's Bloom
















Or "boom boom" as Jamie calls it. We just LOVE this place! It is a dairy farm about 10 minutes from our house and they make their own ice cream and it is YUMMY! We go a lot all through out the summer. The flavors are always different. Jamie's favorite is strawberry. I find it so funny that at 2 years old he has a favorite ice cream flavor! We order our ice cream inside and then eat it outside "on the farm." There are always kids running around and Jamie usually makes a new friend or two. This time he met 4 year old Gia and her little sister Ellia. Ga Ga and Pop Pop had lots of fun playing ring around the rosie with our new friends.

"My Daddy wok at the baybah game"



Translation... My Daddy works at the baseball game. Of course Jamie doesn't really get that Daddy works in the world of professional sports, but one day he will know he has the coolest dad ever when he understands what Timmy does everyday. So today, like every other day we called daddy at work. I asked Timmy what he was up to and he said he was walking back up to the set. (Timmy does the pre and post show for MASN for all the O's home games.) Well it was a few minutes before the show started so Rick Dempsey was already on set. We have met him before and he is super nice and thinks Jamie is super neat! Anyway I told Jamie to say "Hi Rick Dempsey" Now I didn't realize that Mr. Dempsey was sitting right there mind you. And all of the sudden I hear Timmy say in the back ground say something about putting us on speaker phone and then I hear a guy that is not Timmy say "Hello?" so now we're talking to Rick Dempsey on the phone. Ok a little aside here, I am beyond star struck. When I was in high school Candace Cameron did a mall tour and came to the Harford Mall. Of course I went and waited to see her and cried because I was so overwrought with emotion! Ok back to the cool baseball dude. So now I'm telling Jamie to say "Hi Rick Dempsey!" and so he did and Mr. Dempsey is like "Oh Jamie where have you been? You better come see me so I can gobble you up!" By this time my armpits are sweating! Yes I can make a mountain out of a mole hill better then anyone. But come on this is fun stuff here! We are a baseball family through and through!

The pics I posted here are from earlier in the season when we visited Timmy at work.
