Whew...It's been a busy last 7 days.....

I'm sorry...I had to take a short break from the Lemonade Stand. But, oh, how I have needed it's releasing powers! We've had a busy last seven days....to start, last Saturday, we

Completely Re-Did the playroom (it's not finished...we got interrupted)

Before:

After:

On Sunday, I successfully made a chocolate pie! (tutorial to come)

Then on Monday...February 1, 2010 at 6:26 p.m., God blessed us with this precious little girl--

Carrie Ann Marie Brown

Weighing in at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 18 inches long.

This little girl took her time, and no matter what anyone tells you, just because it's your third delivery doesn't mean it will happen any faster! Needless to say, after a 14 hour labor and pushing this daisy out for an hour, I am still exhausted, still healing and still crying my eyes out! So between nursing, sore everything, Taylor & Andrew (who love her to death), staying close to my Father, trying to sleep and a thousand visitors (which I've really needed and enjoyed), I am slowly getting my story together! It'll be here before you know it! Til then, enjoy these pics I've captured over Carrie Ann's first few days!

Thank you all for your prayers and encouraging words...keep 'em coming!!!
