Grand Opening!

We had the Grand Opening today for our new outpatient treatment center, A Bridge to Recovery (http://www.abtrsouthaven.com/) in Southaven, MS. We are so excited as this is a dream come true for us. We already have a client even though we don't officially open until April 6th. We know the next few months will be tough as we work out the kinks, but we feel we will be successful. We certainly appreciate your prayers and thoughts as we embark on this adventure!

Mandy's visit

One of my best friends, Mandy, came to visit this week with her kids. Her oldest, Sarah Grace, is my Goddaughter and Camille his her Goddaughter. This picture is certainly an interesting angle, but Clayton took it, so he did pretty good. Katie came after I took these pictures, but the four girls played together really well since they are all the same age (Sarah Grace and Katie are 9. Camille just turned 7 and Madison will be 7 in May). Charlie is 3.

First bottle and eczema

Since I'm headed back to work on April 2nd we decided to go ahead and give CJ a bottle in case he didn't take to it well. That way we'd have time to get him used to it. It was NOT a problem. I guess he figured it tasted the same as mommy so who cares.

Also, we thought he had baby acne (as you can see in the pictures), but it kept getting worse so I took him to the doctor today and it turns out he has eczema that has gotten infected. We had to put him on an antibiotic and we are hoping that will clear it up. We are also hoping it is not a food allergy (through the breast milk).






Poor baby! I took this picture to be able to compare it when we go back to the doctor this week. Luckily it doesn't seem to be bothering him.

New activity mat

CJ has a new activity mat. He seems to really like it.


Tummy time!


He was enjoying it until he got the hiccups.

Camille's 7th birthday!!

Friday was Camille's 7th birthday. She had a slumber party and Gami came to help because I certianly couldn't have done it with a one month old! She had 6 friends over and it was lots of fun.

Presents

We gave Camille a trampoline for her birthday. It was cold, but that didn't stop them from jumping.

Lots of silliness!

We did crafts.


We ate tacos in a bag (many of my friends will remember this tradition along with monkey bread in the morning!)


We played pin the tail on the donkey.

Gami saves the day.

Gami came in town this weekend to help with Camille's slumber party. I couldn't have done it without her!!

Getting some "Sissy C" love.

The kids all have nicknames now. Clayton is "Broclay", Katie is "Sissy K" and Camille is "Sissy C". CJ has several.....Little dude, The J Man, and Junior.


Wait a minute...that's not nice to give that finger to your sister!

I love the men in my life!

Of course he's already in baseball clothes!
