Just Like Me...Just Like Shad
Shad played football and was a defensive end in college... he was good. He was a quarterback's nightmare. Football was a huge part of his life growing up.
A couple of months ago, I thought of a gift that I really wanted to give him, but I had NO luck in finding what I really wanted...I thought I was going to have to do it- but my skills aren't so great; so, I kept on searching. I finally ran cross a lady whose shop is called Tutu Bella and after many emails, she made my idea that was in my head, and I couldn't be happier! Everything is cut out by hand... she did a W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L job!
This is the back of the shirt: A powerhouse last name ;) , and Shad's college football number which is also on the front. I'm sure our little DE is going to be following in his daddy's footsteps.He may play like his daddy, but there is NO doubt he looks like me. Shad claims he looks like him, but I think deep down he knows that the kiddo looks like me only with blonde hair. Below is a picture from the day I was born. I know you can't tell from the picture, but they STILL use the same paper gowns at the hospital- same design; pink and blue teddy bears... I noticed it when I was looking at Lawson's photos from the hospital.
Lawson at five months.

His First
His first masterpiece, which was created at daycare. I LOVE that they do art with the tiny ones! The day I picked him up he was covered in paint... :)

Paint, Pencil, and Thread
Someone has been a little crafty. And it's been fun.
Below is a t-shirt I designed for my niece, Audrey. She was born VERY early and is a pure miracle! Kristy asked me to design a t-shirt as a fundraiser for March of Dimes. Below is the back of the design, and it's on a gray shirt. Her work, Citi Financial, is selling them for $12. If you would like one, email me. aschipke@gmail.com
Here is my latest painting. It's for a special little girl.
Today I sewed two appliques for Lawson. One is a car and the other is a heart. I was in the mood so I dug in L's closet to find a "blank" onesie that I could use. I didn't have any really cute fabric, but it didn't stop me. Oh, well cuter fabric next time. :)
For Sale
I'm cleaning out, and I have a few sample paintings for sale...let me know if you know anyone that would like them. They are $15 each. They are all a 16"x20". Thanks

Getting Big
Lawson is growing like a weed. We go for a 4 month checkup in about 2 weeks. I'm very curious about how much he has grown! Two weeks ago he was a heavy 16 lbs.Short Getaway
Sometimes we have easy decisions. Sometimes we make easy decisions into hard decisions... or I do. BUT not this time. Shad wanted to do something and he tossed up the idea of Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta, or the beach. I knew that shopping would be high on the list if we did B-ham, NOLA, or the ATL, and honestly, I'm really not in the mood... PLUS, shopping in the winter really isn't all that fun with a four month old. So we decided fairly quickly that a relaxing weekend at the beach was for us....even in January.
This was Lawson's first time in the Mobile tunnel. I HATE the tunnel, but he really didn't care.
It was totally beautiful... and we can't wait to go back in June.

Christmas #2
Every Christmas Eve we ALWAYS have Christmas at my grandmother's house! We have finger food galore, and we open presents...it's always fun and crazy. This year we had a few new ones...Gracie, Harper, and Lawson.
Here is cousin Harper...She is three months older that Lawson, and SUCH a doll!
Lawson waiting on Santa on Christmas Eve.
We woke up to a WHITE Christmas...it's was such a surprise and BEAUTIFUL. It was the first white Christmas in Tupelo in sixty something years....so special for Lawson's first.
Santa did come!
