Welcome to my front porch!

Hi! I'm Donna! I grew up sitting on the front porch drinking iced tea and spending time with friends and family. Welcome to my front porch. Pull up a comfy chair, grab a glass of tea, sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

Em turns 4!!!

Isn't she gorgeous?
I'm not the least bit biased either, so don't even go there!!! LOL!!
This picture was taken by me and edited in Picasa 3 Beta!

That's Emily, my middle child!! She personifies everything a middle child is. She's certainly a sweetheart, though. She turns 4 in less than a week and it just doesn't seem possible. This year she wants a Backyardigans party. Now, here's the conundrum. Long long ago, on her very first birthday, I made the mistake of BAKING HER BIRTHDAY CAKES!!! No, I don't think this is a mistake, but it is a lot of work when I could just buy one. I've made her birthday cake every year of her life. I'd planned to not make anymore just cause it's a HUGE time and energy commitment. I didn't make Zoe's this year, but it just seems wrong to NOT make Em's cake, so I'm going to take a stab at it.

Now I'd show you a picture of Emily's 1st birthday cakes, but unfortunately I learned the back up your computer lesson the hard way. Serious tears were shed over those pictures. I did have them extracted, but the computer guy lost the cd. I do, however, have pictures of cakes from years 2 and 3. If you have any questions let me know.


2nd Birthday
3rd Birthday

Wish me luck that I don't lose it at her party. I'm an emotional mess when it comes to my kids and them growing up.
