6 Months Old Today!

I know, I know, I said I am taking a "blogging break" and I really am but I just had to share pictures of Campbell from this morning. I can't believe she's 6 months old today! I love her so much and can't remember life without her! Okay, enough for now... we are off to the Galleria to buy her a special 1/2 birthday gift (don't tell RJ.. LOL) See you back here in about a week :)

Earl Wayne May

My beloved grandfather, Earl Wayne May, passed on to Heaven this morning at 6:20am. This is a picture of the sky this morning when Papaw walked through the heavenly gates to meet our wonderful Savior...

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-3

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!” Revelations 14:13

"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints" Psalms 116:15

"If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord." Romans 14:8

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." John 11:25-26

A little note about my wonderful Papaw....

Our Little Fish

Look at our little fish!

She loved the water.

Two of a kind

Another birthday post--- On my birthday we went out to Bob and Joan's (Grandpa Bobby and Mia) to have steaks and birthday cake. RJ and Campbell did a little swimming too. Look at her grin because her Daddy is holding her-- too cute! Thanks for great birthday celebration Bob and Joan :)

Special Prayers

Today I'm begging for some special prayers for my grandfather, Wayne May. He had a stroke in his brain stem on Monday and we are still waiting to see what all has been affected. He's in ICU and has been transfered to Shannon Hospital in San Angelo. Please pray for my family and especially my grandmother, mom and her brothers.

Also, if I can ask one more favor, please pray for my Aunt Terry. She was in a head on collision on Sunday coming back from her granddaughters 2nd birthday here in Houston. It's been a rough week for the May family (hence where I got Campbell's middle name) but this is the time when we need to have the most faith in the Lord and his plan for us and our loved ones.

"God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble" Psalm 46:1

"Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always" 1 Chronicles 16:11

June Market 2010

Kiki, Aunt Ammy/Campbell, and Honey

Aunt Ammy and Campbell

Market was soooooo much fun as always! I love this time with my mom and sister. Krista (Kiki) and her sister (Aunt Abbey) came with us along with my godmother Taryn. We had such a great time. I found out Abbey reads my blog-- she's so funny! I love her and Krista :)

If you were wondering how Campbell did at Market she was AMAZING! She only cried one time (wanted a bottle) but other than that she was wonderful. She LOVED market but who am I kidding of course she would HAVE to love market being my daughter. LOL! I've been to both the January and June market since I was born. I have only missed a hand full of times and one was this January when Campbell was born. I would have gone then too if the doctor would have let me!

People couldn't believe how great Campbell acted. We shopped until we dropped and she slept in the baby bjorn. She just smiled at everyone. I owe a HUGE thank you to my sister for caring her around all day at Market. It wasn't easy let me tell you but Aunt Ammy was a trooper!

Campbell- 5 months and 5 days
1st of many Market trips
