Double The Love

I sure hope you aren't already annoyed with me mentioning the sweet twin boys.  I can't stop posting pictures, I just can't!  ..and I'll go ahead and be honest, it will not be stopping ANYTIME soon.  Turns out that being an aunt is an obsession and addiction.  I have no interest in admitting I have a problem or taking any of the other steps to recover.  Sorry.  BUT if you just love looking at adorable babies, then my obsession should be right up your alley!

If you're having a bad day this should make you smile....

If you're having a good day, this should make it better...

Happy Tuesday!

TOMS vs. BOBS

So, I'm sitting at the house in Tupelo... killing time on the internet while John boy takes a nap.  Then, this commercial comes on- not really paying attention I look up because something is sounding familiar but also different.  "Did I just hear BOB'S shoes? No, no those are TOMS- my hearing is messed up." Nope they are BOBS. Did sketchers really copy TOMS? Yes, yes they did. Am I going to continue to ask and answer my own questions? No, I'm done now.

Anywho, check it out:

Pretty crazy huh?!

C'mon Sketchers! TOMS didn't copy your Shape-Ups!

I mean, they even copied the basic 3-letter man's name made plural...

Ohh welll, at least the outcome is a good one- can't complain about that too much.

Ahh, Family

I just LOVE family time! 

I really [really] do!

Of course family can get annoying, intrusive, bossy, & nosy-

and when these things start happening, you can't wait to get away!

BUT, during the other times....the good times [usually at the first of your arrival]

it's really great! Also, not to brag- but my family IS pretty great :) 

OH, and our family time usually involves a lot of this:

who doesn't love family time?!
[even though you gain 7lbs per fam visit]

They're Finally Here! [L&N]

So, I know I'm late and many of you probably already heard [facebook, duh].... BUT, Liam and Nolan have finally graced us with their presence! Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but I just love saying it: I am now an Aunt, along with Suellen- my parents are now grandparents - and Rachel is now a Mother! We all are simply IN LOVE with our new titles! They were born on July 25th.  Liam was born at 5:28pm and Nolan at 5:55pm.  Liam Thompson Cummings was 5lbs 8oz and 18in long.  Nolan Galloway Cummings was 5lbs 15oz and 19in long.  They are simply perfect.  I'm sure everyone says that about their brand new nephew(s) - but I MEAN it, and that IS legit.  They are so tiny, adorable, and hilarious.  I drove home to be with the family when Rachel went into labor- but the very next day I had to drive back to Auburn to finish school and take my finals.  That.was.hard! Now, I'm back at home for just a little while- and I'm loving every minute with these two little men! Liam is such an old man.  I think he's going to be the wise, practical, and responsible older brother.  Nolan does what he wants.  He gets fussy when he's hungry and expects to eat pronto- but after 1 minute of eating he passes out. [I mean, we all know that being fed can be so tiring!] Nolan makes the funniest faces while Liam is usually scrunching his eyebrows, as if he is contemplating this whole 'being out in the world' thing.  It's so funny [and amazing] how at such a young age-not even 2wks old- babies start having their own personalities! I just love love LOVE them. I hope this didn't bore you too much ...... b/c it's definitely not the last time you'll hear about them :)

Liam Thompson

Nolan Galloway

This.Is.Domino

In a nutshell.

Seriously.

If the slightest wind is blowing, he's facing the opposite direction.
The wind blowing his shaggy (err..nappy?) hair is his ABSOLUTE fav!
My sister Rachel bent down to take this picture and in .5 seconds he struck a pose...
so, now I have a new picture to look at on a bad day.

Rachel's BaByQ

This past weekend was Rachel's baby shower. Our friends Ashley and Michelle helped me throw her one.  We made it more of a party/celebration - rather than your traditional baby shower.  It was a BBQ with tons of friends, family, good food, and cold beer! See, not so much your traditional shower.  There was a very good turn out- we were all so excited! It was so SO so much fun :)

Also, we had a diaper raffle.  For every pack of diapers someone brought they got a raffle ticket to win a prize.  The prize ended up being a $25 gift card to Chilis (I LOVE Chilis!). I slipped in the 'notice' about the diaper raffle in the envelope with the invitations.

OH, you want to see the invites?  Well sure, I guess I could show you them...
[cough cough........ I made them........cough cough]

Then, I might have started running out of paper....then ribbon... 

..but I STILL made it work! I ended up LOVING them all!

(even if it took 3 days and made my hand cramp up like a pretzel)

You can't have fabulous invites without cute envelopes to go with them......

Man, I can't believe you wanted to see that many pictures of my invites :)

OH, and I would say the Diaper Raffle was a success!

What do you think?

Man I can't wait until those babies are here!!
