Oh You Guys---I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

I am sorry that I haven't been able to update this. It has been the craziest, most intense couple of days ever!

Things are going great! I am trying to get some photos uploaded now. I will post all of the little guy's stats with some photos. It just isn't nearly as much fun reading a name and baby stats without seeing him...so now you HAVE TO WAIT SOME MORE! I got really, really good at it...now I will give you a brief taste of how intense the waiting is! (I love you though!)

I went a wrapped 20 presents. I came back and was SURE there would be something.

I must really be nuts. I know you guys are exhausted. I know you just had a baby. Obviously you have a huge fan base that we are all sitting here at the edge of our seats :)

Okay, I re-read that. UMMM. I know you didn't *have* the baby... but I mean you *just* welcomed him.

I am losing my mind too. Oh and I can't type or spell. It must be all of the shaking.

He has to be so amazingly gorgeous that you're just staring at him with no desire to do anything else (like post pictures). ;o)

Camp songs? I love the song "Weiner Man". (really, it's a fun song). We sang it in Pioneer Girls in the "old" days.

Anonymous said...

Mabel,
I wonder if our "old" friend, Linda, has caught on to this blog yet? The poor girl can't get the tech side of life quite down yet.

Sue I have never heard that song before. Please share :O)

Wow, I don't know the pickle song!

Sue, you are the queen of words and you know it! You should be able to come up with a tune or 2 from your wide repertoire of singing experiences and your years of performing at Branson.....

Major Mom said...

koom-bi-yah is always a big hit in the camp song world. or we could go with RISE AND SHINE AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY GLORY RISE AND SHINE AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY GLORY RISE AND SHINE AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY GLORY CHILDREN OF THE LORD...

Just for you, Tonya.
I love the Weinie Man. He owns the weinie stand. He sells me everthing from hotdogs on down. Some day I'll share his life. I'll be his weinie wife. Hotdog, I love that weinie man, Hot Dog!
Tah! Dah!(oops, I guess it's not the Weiner man, it's the weinie man) My mom taught this too the Pioneer Girls so it has to be ok.

It wasn't Branson but the Lawrence Welk show. That's where I learned so many of my "hits".
