I found this great website that walks you through each day of Holy Week and the experiences of Jesus and his disciples during this "ordinary" week that ends with the resurrection that changed the world. Please don't get so caught up in eggs and bunnies that we miss the opportunity to celebrate the greatest miracle of all...salvation.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pcbc.org/holyweekdevotions">http://www.pcbc.org/holyweekdevotions</a>Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-35754968277969135742010-03-21T20:12:00.000-07:002010-03-21T20:19:08.261-07:00Easter Egg Hunt at Church<div><div><div>Our playgroup attended the annual <a href="http://watermark.org/">Watermark</a> Easter Egg Hunt last Thursday.

It turned out so cute....thanks for the inspiration from <a href="http://moderneve.blogspot.com/">ModernEve</a> and <a href="http://www.blogger.com/penandpaperflowers.blogspot.com">Penandpaperflowers</a>. I did petite pastries, petite chicken salad sandwiches, cheese and fruit, french fries, cupcakes, and tomato basil soup. Raylee had her own petite gateaux (little cake). It took her a while to really dig in, but she eventually realized what she has been missing out on for the last year. We had a lot of special guests including family from Missouri and Texas, playgroup friends, community group friends, and other friends too! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448578484801271954" style="DISPLAY: block;

Raylee had a ton of fun spending time with the twins and some new friends. We stayed after the party and had a wonderful dinner and a few laughs at the girls in the bathtub. Here are a few pics of the day!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438692058299872162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrMWBs1qcm3SUKto6pVgv64kx4CkwEmwKZth__0ndg92Uo1x9EAorNiqs933bDjT8_HBQt1y72rvCebDgkmmCjoUA2PUnj2snY6RjO_vwZcF3Wtl6Obpvp6ZrHIYt0xPp-WH6cC3o7WV9m/s320/raylee,+mom.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqgiDCTO5GHg44-ZHh44TVsr8VYmweYRqbhjRiLSELXyDmcaUEUuvoah-Lkd07CXbh3VsXV22aBtEVBjOBedFOEhjmvqeUlOVjXxJDH9jjXVVvs8_DTVoRcxrBY8ps-vVfSW1lAXhM071/s1600-h/raylee+sprinkles.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438692065390770274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqgiDCTO5GHg44-ZHh44TVsr8VYmweYRqbhjRiLSELXyDmcaUEUuvoah-Lkd07CXbh3VsXV22aBtEVBjOBedFOEhjmvqeUlOVjXxJDH9jjXVVvs8_DTVoRcxrBY8ps-vVfSW1lAXhM071/s320/raylee+sprinkles.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438692071535663938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPNj_l0f0Nh5lOzcCzkxRw0il5-VzmAl59tmF8T_1lNBQzSSIowS_FYGBNzpVTXHMz_xGNdLjBn-Ka7xamChhtu_RdepViYL11cqxlrlApJoUfrQFZKvksR4-4k4qr6r0WACpzmZbGvBC6/s320/storytime.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438692074919829330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzdFwFNj8NwR_kkj-SMVrS4k_KJuLGHcIchuUsbVMRn2_DctXhJ1fnGSNoJVxnwYxHAEeC6qEguY29jTgwPttshprK-GTzhx9ARYi4PXyn0cht81eRLY7Rp-AmN8NmQVG8Kud9prBBESRj/s320/bath.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-38807783808242637552010-02-15T20:13:00.001-08:002010-02-15T20:15:50.183-08:00SNOW!!!We got a record breaking 11 inches of snow in Dallas last Thursday.

It was a very thoughtful gift! So, I finally cashed in on my new blog design courtesy of <a href="http://www.pennylanedesignsblog.net/">Penny Lane Designs</a>. I told her I wanted an Old Hollywood feel to the blog, with my favorite color scheme...black, red, and white. I know I am not super original, but I love how it turned out...very classy!

So in light, I thought I would preach just a little to whoever may be reading...<br /><br />In my four years of marriage I figure I may just have picked up a few bits of wisdom and truth. Now, I am no expert, but I firmly believe that your philosophy on marriage is the second biggest determining factor in life (second only to who God is). The covenant I made with God and my husband is binding for life. When you really take the view that marriage is permanent, it changes the way you view the fights, the struggles, and the challenges. Knowing that this is my one shot at marriage encourages me to make it the best it can be. Marriage isn't always easy, in fact, it can be downright hard sometimes. The only way this marriage will work is if we first submit ourselves to Christ, and then to each other. I believe that everyday I must fight my selfish desires to put my husband first. I'm sure you have heard the old adage, "love is a verb." You must literally choose to love everyday...even when the feelings wane. Don't get me wrong, I love (with feeling) my husband so much...but even days when I don't feel love, I try to love (with action). My younger childhood was filled with love and Christ, but my adolescent years were also filled with divorce, infidelity, deception and heartache. I know that the best foundation I can shape for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Raylee</span> starts with a strong marriage between Michael and me. Thankfully, Michael believes that marriage is forever as well, and he serves as a great example of selflessness.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Here is a pic from four years ago!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424029830644683794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIjByJ0_jGjTVSIlOP-RxvyQeLrYQG_DmE1CN5g8aYaHmxU_9kL9d5mcW7-zL-WTuDF_xCaK5yUSQEEgD1CtE4uysdotuGtapNz7NhNihAXfxhBLyykzyb6y59RK1MnVQK0HNPHFa3Qv0p/s320/IMG_2983.JPG" border="0" /></div>Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-3519249409031994962010-01-04T15:03:00.000-08:002010-01-04T15:38:04.144-08:00Bad Blogger, Good Christmas!So I have realized that I am a much better reader than I am writer...I just don't really love blogging, but I think it is worth the time, so I am going to try to be better (please ignore my wordy, runon sentence).<br /><br />We had a great Christmas season, with lots of celebrating. We had multiple Christmas' with a wedding thrown in as a bonus. Raylee was a flower girl at my sister's wedding, and since she can't actually walk, or throw flowers for that matter, she rode in a sleigh. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen!<br /><br />Enjoy the pictures!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423029047684252738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand;

It was so fun with all the kiddos and lots of fabulous food. I made stuffing and it was a huge hit (which is pretty incredible since I am a virgin stuffing maker and I don't even like stuffing!) We watched a lot of football and ate a lot of food.

We are still living in Kaufman while our house is being remodeled, so no pictures. We are hoping to move in November 1st! PRAY!!!! My b-day is November 3rd, and that is all I want. <br /><br />Anyways, I have been a little sad lately, mourning the inevitable process of my daughter growing up. I know God gives us children to slowly enable them to become independent of their parents and dependent on God, but it stinks. So, a week and a half ago, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Raylee</span> began biting me while breastfeeding. As I thought I was getting it under control, my body decided to come down with mastitis (an infection) and stop producing enough milk. I am a huge believer in breast feeding, and I wanted to make it to a year. However, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Raylee</span> just hasn't been getting enough, so we have had to start supplementing with formula. I know it isn't the end of the world, and I can keep nursing in the mornings and before bed, but I am a little forlorn thinking of her growing up and not needing me anymore. This feeling of sadness and neediness is probably confounded by the fact that I am a little bored and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dissatisfied</span> with living in limbo (without a home...although I am grateful for my in-laws hospitality!) However, I know there will be many instances where I have to give <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Raylee</span> her independence. I am dreading the first day of Kindergarten...AH!!! So I guess I thought I would slough off my sadness with this post, and try to cherish everyday I have with her. I truly do love each new stage...but you can't help but look back and miss the newborn stages as well. <br /><br />Proverbs 22: 6 "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-81481125568867256542009-09-28T15:22:00.001-07:002009-09-28T18:40:13.203-07:00Homemade Baby FoodWell, it has been a long time since I last posted. We are in the 2 month long process of moving. We bought a new house and sold our old house, but the new house isn't ready yet because we are completely remodeling the entire house. Therefore, we are very blessed that Michael's parents are letting us live in their house in Kaufman. Long story, but they have two houses on their property so we are living right next door to them. I don't have access to my computer, so no pictures. However, I did want to post on one of my latest favorite websites. I have been making <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Raylee's</span> baby food, and I am now a huge proponent of homemade baby food. It is healthier, cheaper, and tastes better (I know...I have tried it!) Anyways, this website called <a href="http://wholesomebabyfood.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Wholesomebabyfood</span>.com</a> is amazing! It answers all your questions regarding how to make it, how to freeze the food, and in what order to serve certain foods. I love it! So far I have made all these foods:<br /><ul><li>sweet potato</li><li>butternut squash</li><li>avocado</li><li>carrots</li><li>green beans</li><li>peas</li><li>pears</li><li>apples</li><li>mango</li><li>banana</li></ul><p>While we are displaced from our house I am going on a small hiatus and buying regular baby food, and I have to tell you it has been a bit <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">disappointing</span>. First of all, it is really expensive, and second of all it isn't that great. If you are a mom, I highly recommend you try it. It is a bit time consuming, but once a week I just make a big batch of food and then freeze it. All you need is a food processor. Some people use blenders or mixers, but I find the food processor to work best. Give it a try, and then let me know how it goes! </p>Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-62275956049372936862009-09-04T14:28:00.000-07:002009-09-04T14:31:31.449-07:00Play group!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiePhBC-yOCCoGKRuyBVtsQZsZNgnLCLxA1EYGvg17Zb_FfnIxNLkTiEdneUdTBRp_QXfd6FWVVuDZxUzWblkWCKxO84tmWaLxOSSE3hMQgG1rFoc1b-RcLA8uZBL7Jh-nWEhsrm_vVjat_/s1600-h/camryn+and+raylee.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377727952316588162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiePhBC-yOCCoGKRuyBVtsQZsZNgnLCLxA1EYGvg17Zb_FfnIxNLkTiEdneUdTBRp_QXfd6FWVVuDZxUzWblkWCKxO84tmWaLxOSSE3hMQgG1rFoc1b-RcLA8uZBL7Jh-nWEhsrm_vVjat_/s320/camryn+and+raylee.jpg" border="0" /></a> They're holding hands!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ddCJJjbMGXya6IMplYpnvtP1U7L6yRWgCsij1KI3VHg1ZqMCeJtsOIe_VdfRXFh3Ws-1UDTc4EHnNWGBn36bsn2pJr4eZNI0Egt4pG9uerVrwAkcEQ-XYYkz85MzPDjqA3odRBKoEK5V/s1600-h/play+group.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377727794853642258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ddCJJjbMGXya6IMplYpnvtP1U7L6yRWgCsij1KI3VHg1ZqMCeJtsOIe_VdfRXFh3Ws-1UDTc4EHnNWGBn36bsn2pJr4eZNI0Egt4pG9uerVrwAkcEQ-XYYkz85MzPDjqA3odRBKoEK5V/s320/play+group.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div>I just thought I would post a shout out to my playgroup!

It was a beautiful ceremony! Our good friend, JP, led the service, which we had outside with our friends and family. Raylee wore a very special dress that her cousin, Grace (who only lived 7 weeks) was baptized in. My mom flew all the way from Missouri to participate in the ceremony. Thanks to all our friends and family who participated.<br /><br />Throughout our struggles with miscarriage and infertility, I fervently prayed for a child. Then when we did get pregnant we had many ups and downs as Raylee was again and again diagnosed with multiple health issues. On Sunday, we praised God that he healed her in so many ways before she was even born, and we symbolically gave her back to the Lord. For she is merely on loan to us; she is always in the hands of God. I have included some of the scripture that spoke to me during this process.<br /><br />In 1 Samuel 2 Hannah says to God “As surely as you live, my Lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give this child to the Lord, for her whole life will be given over to the Lord.”<br /><br />Proverbs 22:6 “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.”<br /><br />Deuteronomy 6:5-7 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”<br /><br />Here are some pictures from Sunday.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374342249622047474" style="DISPLAY: block;

We went with our friends, the Rowlings, and it was great to have some much needed "adult" time, although we really missed our little Raylee bug! We went to see Chicago (the musical...not the city), walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, ate amazing food, and the list goes on! Here are some pics from the weekend!<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368722894795601522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand;

No, I am not encouraging babies to sleep on their tummies, but I had no idea that there were negative consequences to having my daughter sleep on her back. After buying the swing, the bouncer, the saucer, and many other fun baby items, I have been told the best position for baby's playtime is ON THE FLOOR! Wow, I could have saved a lot of money! If you are confused, tune in! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Apparently</span> there has been a significant increase in the incidence of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">plagiocephaly</span> (basically <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">misshapen</span> head syndrome) and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">torticollis</span> (literally means "twisted neck"). Many times babies are born with a slightly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">misshapen</span> head due to cramped quarters in the uterus, or a small birth canal mixed with a large head. Often times, if parents aren't overly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">conscientious</span>, the baby takes the path of least resistance and exacerbates the problem by turning the head to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">accommodate</span> the issue. Some babies are simply on their backs so much that their head becomes flat. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Raylee's</span> problem started because she had a tight neck, and would tend to always roll to the same side. This caused one side of her head to become flatter, and the cycle continued. This caused her to have some slight facial <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">asymmetry</span>, which really frightened me. After being told we were a candidate for the DOC band (a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">helmet</span> which runs about $3600!), we then sought a second opinion. The physical therapist said that she had a very minor case, and everyone has some sort of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">asymmetry</span>. She recommended we take an aggressive approach to repositioning and stretching for 6 weeks. Therefore, we have discarded any toy that causes her to put pressure on the back of her head. We have to hold her upright or with the football hold, and she has to have tons of "tummy time." We also have to do a series of neck stretches 4-5 times a day. Whew! All of this is a much better alternative to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">helmet</span>, but it is a little exhausting policing how everyone holds and positions her. <br /><br />If you want more information, read this article! <a href="http://www.mybreastfeeding.com/index_files/Torticollis.htm">http://www.mybreastfeeding.com/index_files/Torticollis.htm</a>Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-67901798961361280502009-07-21T08:02:00.001-07:002009-07-21T08:03:03.919-07:00Great article on the support and importance of breastfeeding!<a href="http://www.phdinparenting.com/2009/07/19/can-breastfeeding-promotion-learn-something-from-drunk-driving-ads/">http://www.phdinparenting.com/2009/07/19/can-breastfeeding-promotion-learn-something-from-drunk-driving-ads/</a>Erika Toneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02024630236110610082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711673894030399698.post-59727412146863296242009-07-15T15:25:00.000-07:002009-07-19T17:08:58.000-07:00Trip to Missouri!The three of us fought the crowds at the airport to fly home for Fourth of July and my cousin, Chelsi's wedding. We had a great time! My aunt from Chicago flew in for about 24 hours to meet Raylee! I think Raylee was a little overwhelmed with all the new faces and the busy weekend, but it was well worth it. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360325502001670194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvcb_QxABrMWqQXtcoGw-rTW5EZ8eeKKsYlUUkH__SF2-lFBjVap15hoIeVf_U8tSoD2Qw7S3yMM-hvQ6cabQJQSfgBExUiZwpBSyIqMButEgTALQpflEpAkp2ttxoBZGBYgTkIXPqapZ/s320/mom,+raylee,+chan.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzo411v3p0QviQzu1eiASIb45Xrt8MpU-n-tms5gKlyRaaV10MFbs7lel83n00eksJh6bbwazhtzBiGXLPfK68aDC5DKbC08g0iX_hozNay1doLb4RWqGZ5rPMemlbWYTsSpwVECtiAAYB/s1600-h/ry,+rach,+ray.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360326269858870146" style="DISPLAY: block;
