My cute little nephew!







Okay, here's some pictures of the cutest little kid on the planet! His name is William James Fortenberry. He was born on Tuesday, May 9, 2006, weighing in at 8 lbs., 12 oz., measuring 22 inches long. Pretty big baby for such a little mommy! (Those of you who don't know my sister, she is smaller than I am!)
These were all taken during his first week. The last picture was at the hospital; that's Jessica holding him.
This will be my last blog for probably the summer, becuase I'm working at camp. I'll get it back up and running when I get home in August.
Enjoy the pictures!

Starfish!

I think the title says it all...

This is me holding my "Starfish Kid," AJ Dolittle. AJ and I bonded in the nursery at Faith Baptist Church when I was a student at Northland. He is the cutest little kid. When it was wintertime, his mommy bundled him up in a snowsuit that was almost too small for him (I think it used to be his big brother's suit) to keep him warm. It was blue and red and yellow, and when you zipped it all the way up, he couldn't even roll around on the floor. It had the squishy stuff for padding, and all he could do was simply exist on the floor until someone took pity on the poor child and picked him up. I thought he looked like a starfish, all bundled up, because his hands and feet stuck out (it was a footy-suit) and the hat part kind of had a cone-head look to it. So there's my SF buddy!

cold toes

yep, it's pretty much summer, but my toes are cold. what in the world! The fingers on my right hand are cold too, but that's because my right hand has been on the mouse for a while, and it always gets cold when I'm on the computer.
Anyway, I just thought I'd stop by my blog and write some thing. Not much to say on this, the second day of Summer Break! I should go pack for camp...I hate packing. My room hates it too. The floor is not visible at the moment because it's covered with various boxes filled with clothes and towes, assorted yea and nay clothes for camp, about three or four pairs of shoes, oh yeah, some books (like five or six) a pile of papers and such, a shoebox full of stuff from last summer, envelopes--the big manila kind, hmm...oh, the tops to the boxes, more clothes, another box that is empty because all the clothes that were in it are now on the floor or in another box, two duffle bags, a plethora of pens, pencils, stationary set, etc...
Yeah I would take a picture so you could see it, but...the camera battery is pretty much dead. DEAD! (Tim, are you laughing??? Like Ann Judson was DEAD! :) lol)
So, now that I have enumerated by bedroom's alarming state of disarray, I think I'll go pack some more, then there will be more boxes and less clutter on the floor. No more Terainas! (That one's for Leah...)
