Just a quick post.
On Monday March 9th, it was my brother Brandon’s b-day. On Tuesday March 10th, it was my husband Jerry’s b-day AND my sister Jacki had her second baby that morning! I only have cell phone photos of her though. Sara Ann Tothill was born at 6:38am on 3/10/09 weighing 6 lbs 10 oz. She is PRECIOUS! Both mine & Jacki’s middle names are Ann 
Jacki went into labor the night of the 9th, and I was so excited text messaging everyone I could think of, that I must have forgotten to turn my alarm to ‘on’ when I set it. Either that or I slept through it (again). Luckily, my friend Debbie called me at 7:35 am (I have to leave for work at 7:30 to make it on time). It was one of those delirious, crackly voiced “What time is it???…Deep Gasp…. HOLY CRAP I’m LATE!” moments. As I was FLyING around the house to get out the door, my phone buzzed. There was a pix message of sweet little Sara Ann, just born, laying in just her diaper….and that’s how I found out she had arrived safely. It was such a relief, since it had been a long pregnancy & Jacki was sick a lot. A flood of gratitude rushed over me and I cried like a baby … THANKING THE LORD as I rushed out of the house. The only photos I have are on my cell phone, so I can’t share 
just yet.
I just put new photos on Facebook from this past weekend. My brother Brandon, his wife, niece & in-laws were vacationing in Orlando last week. They spent Brandon’s birthday at Disney and the rest of the week visiting all the parks. Jerry, Ryley, and I went down on Friday, hung out, had dinner at the Polynesian Resort, spent the night, had breakfast with some Disney characters, then we took Brandon & Ashley to the airport.
At breakfast, Ryley was very excited to get to meet Mickey. Unfortunately, Stitch came to our table first. . . . . .
Stitch trying to greet Ryley
Ryley let out a blood curdling scream when Stitch tried to say Hi to her (which I DIDN’T get any photos of, because she needed comforting). Ryley flew out of her chair so fast that she left her shoe behind! She had never seen him before, was terrified of him, and cried hysterically.
Lilo came over and fussed at Stitch for scaring Ryley.
Then, Mickey came over and covered his ears trying to make Ryley laugh. She wasn’t having any part of him either though. This was the best we could do for a photo of Ryley with Mickey….
Notice she only has on ONE shoe??!!! I can relate…I’m that way with spiders
On Sunday, I took Ryley to Blockbuster, found Lilo & Stitch, and she rented it. Now Ryley LOVES these photos and loves to tell the story.

Gotta get to bed. . . . . HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!!
