Hello all! As you will see (and as many know) ... these past few months have been so crazy. I'm not even sure where to start. I apologize for not updating in so long; however,<em> </em>I have honestly not had the time. I think I last posted around Easter. May was the last "normal" month that I remember. Our house on Evergreen was on the market at that time; however, we had decided that when our contract ran out with the listing agency at the first of June, we would just pull it off the market, make the guest rooom a nursery, and try to sell again next year after Hannah Jane had arrived. I was ready to start "nesting," if you will. Isabella also went to a "princess party" that month & loved dressing up as Snow White:<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9nFCgYRT5-g/TjwFXWBLguI/AAAAAAAABng/2Fz6pEz_A9o/s1600/a.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637386732166677218" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9nFCgYRT5-g/TjwFXWBLguI/AAAAAAAABng/2Fz6pEz_A9o/s200/a.jpg" /></a><br />She even got to meet "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" (two cute junior high girls that all the 2 & 3 year olds truly believed to be who they said they were). Isabella cried the entire way home because she didn't understand why she couldn't go see their castles. I guess we'll have to start thinking Walt Disney World before too many years go by. Oh boy.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m9X93U_CJwc/TjwFWwEjK8I/AAAAAAAABnY/MSmgkd1Jt9c/s1600/b.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637386721980263362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m9X93U_CJwc/TjwFWwEjK8I/AAAAAAAABnY/MSmgkd1Jt9c/s200/b.jpg" /></a><br />Cousin Jack also came for a visit - we got to hang out with him, Aunt Alli, Uncle JJ, & the Gentry family. We had a great time hanging out & going to the zoo. Although, at 7 months preggers ... I didn't enjoy that trip as much as usual (little did I know the future would hold 114 degrees for me)<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qjtA-Ck2Pa4/TjwE5GyY55I/AAAAAAAABnQ/WxlXRy6NHqA/s1600/c%2B-%2Bjack%2Bvisit.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637386212682033042" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qjtA-Ck2Pa4/TjwE5GyY55I/AAAAAAAABnQ/WxlXRy6NHqA/s200/c%2B-%2Bjack%2Bvisit.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kq4IQobypr0/TjwE4rS2k2I/AAAAAAAABnI/8MDqr0C763A/s1600/d%2B-%2Bzoo.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637386205302002530" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kq4IQobypr0/TjwE4rS2k2I/AAAAAAAABnI/8MDqr0C763A/s200/d%2B-%2Bzoo.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>(Feeding the fish)</div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GD40tuSZFFo/TjwE4fcnvTI/AAAAAAAABnA/dWM8xkyKO2U/s1600/DSC04900.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637386202121747762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GD40tuSZFFo/TjwE4fcnvTI/AAAAAAAABnA/dWM8xkyKO2U/s200/DSC04900.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>And ... then ... the storm broke. A mere four days before our house was going to be taken off the market, we were offered almost our asking price. SOLD. However, we had NO IDEA what to do because they wanted us out in 21 days and the houses we had once been very interested in had either been sold or were no longer on the market. We started looking that very week at rent houses & I was in tears pretty much every day. The following week, we just so happened to find a house we really loved & started considering making an offer, etc. Long story short, we ended up selling one house, purchasing another, packing all our stuff, getting repairs done to our old house for the buyers, and moving ... all in 21 DAYS!!! That was June. Oh, and did I mention ... during all this stress ... some super-awesome person decided to help themselves to all of my nice jewelry and my nice silver (silver of which a majority had belonged to my mother and grandmother before I registered for a few more place settings of when Brad & I got married). I was crushed, but mostly just because of the sentimental value of all the things taken. In the end, it was just "stuff" and I know how blessed we are.</div><br /><div>The following pics are of Isabella playing in our first back yard on our last night all together in the house.</div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_bG68jknDj0/TjwEQ4V2C8I/AAAAAAAABm4/VByaKMpfl9o/s1600/DSC04915.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637385521609444290" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_bG68jknDj0/TjwEQ4V2C8I/AAAAAAAABm4/VByaKMpfl9o/s200/DSC04915.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sP-JExR5iZA/TjwEQZ40-oI/AAAAAAAABmw/HHWvr-ZvzVM/s1600/DSC04930.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637385513434675842" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sP-JExR5iZA/TjwEQZ40-oI/AAAAAAAABmw/HHWvr-ZvzVM/s200/DSC04930.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JUNHRHnYNsk/TjwEP7nS1KI/AAAAAAAABmo/eAtv1E87Ww8/s1600/DSC04932.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637385505308071074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JUNHRHnYNsk/TjwEP7nS1KI/AAAAAAAABmo/eAtv1E87Ww8/s200/DSC04932.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>(Above is Isabella telling Brad and I to "put your bubble up" ... something she learned at school when the teachers want them to listen. She did not appreciate that we were talking to one another instead of giving her our undivided attention. LMAO!!!)</div><br /><div>Then, it was time to move. The whole family - both sides - came to help at some point or another even though we had movers too! Everyone was a bit worried that I was doing too much. With all the stress, I had started having contractions on and off the entire month of June. On moving day (the end of June), we got an awful phone call that my Mimi had been taken to the hospital and was in ICU. My dad and Kathy obviously rushed back to NWA. The next couple of weeks were nothing short of an emotional roller coaster, as we thought we would lose her at any moment. I was able to go up to NWA a couple of times that she was off the vent. Again, long story short, she amazed the doctors and all of us and started to recover after a few rough weeks in ICU. Recently, at the end of July, she got to leave the hospital and go to a rehab facility. She is still there and getting better every day with PT and OT. God. Is. Good.</div><br /><div>So ... back to other things that were happening here: </div><br /><div>Isabella had to have a play date with Sammi not long after we moved in. We got a baby pool for the new back yard and Bella had it all ready to go! :) </div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oRAoKWz_qw8/TjwDoyMJ-tI/AAAAAAAABmg/s5fN284NUPk/s1600/DSC04938.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637384832763427538" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oRAoKWz_qw8/TjwDoyMJ-tI/AAAAAAAABmg/s5fN284NUPk/s200/DSC04938.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AtF5ufl4afM/TjwDosB4c0I/AAAAAAAABmY/2XzxaC96TqM/s1600/DSC04946.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637384831109722946" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AtF5ufl4afM/TjwDosB4c0I/AAAAAAAABmY/2XzxaC96TqM/s200/DSC04946.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>Below ... 4th of July ...

Sammi, Lexi, Sara, and Nonna came for a day. I attempted to keep the three little ones entertained (dress up while baby cousin Lexi was napping was a highlight) ... </div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a7x-pVdOwBo/TjwB5RJb-SI/AAAAAAAABlY/vpiSqcrKjdk/s1600/DSC05048.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637382916928174370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a7x-pVdOwBo/TjwB5RJb-SI/AAAAAAAABlY/vpiSqcrKjdk/s200/DSC05048.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>... and Nonna and Sara painted Hannah's walls "Periwinkle" ...</div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-udWcL8ctdas/TjwB5JSXtII/AAAAAAAABlQ/TKWORPrqitI/s1600/DSC05059.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 134px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637382914818159746" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-udWcL8ctdas/TjwB5JSXtII/AAAAAAAABlQ/TKWORPrqitI/s200/DSC05059.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>I am so lucky to have these two ladies in my life! After the walls were dry, I was able to get the rest of Hannah's room put together pretty quickly as everything else was pretty much ready to go - bedding had arrived, furniture had been put together on moving weekend, and I had washed blankets, onesies, gowns, socks, etc. I should put a picture of both the girls' new rooms when I get a chance. I'll try to remember to do that. Isabella's is pink ... of course! (Also painted on a different day by Nonna and Sara)</div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bIkLEpC8BN0/Tjv5FEOpcJI/AAAAAAAABlI/IzE63xbokmI/s1600/DSC05067.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637373224014147730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bIkLEpC8BN0/Tjv5FEOpcJI/AAAAAAAABlI/IzE63xbokmI/s200/DSC05067.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o3zcwqoMuaw/Tjv5ERUU1sI/AAAAAAAABlA/cuGy6PDUyRw/s1600/DSC05072.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637373210347755202" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o3zcwqoMuaw/Tjv5ERUU1sI/AAAAAAAABlA/cuGy6PDUyRw/s200/DSC05072.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>Above are pics of Isabella playing in her new "playroom." The new house has a bonus room that, eventually, I'll get organized as a nice playroom for the girls. At least I've gotten most of the boxes out of there and most of the toys moved in. The next step is organization! :)</div><br /><div>The only other bit of news that I can think of to share is that the mini triathlon for kids that I chaired for CFF for Arkansas Childrens Hospital took place on July 16th. Despite all the bumps in the road over the past year of planning ... it went really well for a first event and raised between 15k and 20k for ACH!!! I look forward to chairing it again next year. If you live in LR & are interested in helping out ... I'd LOVE it!</div><br /><div>Now that August is here, the waiting game is truly on for Hannah's arrival. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said that she is head down and ready to go ... just waiting on her to decide when it is time. I am having contractions as we speak ... however, that has been going on now for two months. They come, they go. Cross your fingers for me that sooner than later they start becoming the real deal. I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore & even more ready to spend time with our newest member of the family! Love her so much already ... </div><br /><div>Stay cool everyone! LOVES!!!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The Runyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846536471708369219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269456153471264294.post-89710127032729369162011-04-29T12:25:00.015-05:002011-04-29T13:38:18.207-05:00Spring Has SprungHello again! Considering May is almost here, I knew I was way overdue for an update! I have lots of pictures. But, before cutting right to the pics, there are two big pieces of news to share. #1 - Our newest niece, Alexia Lee, was born in the early morning hours of April 14th & Sara, Jeff, & Sammi (along with all of us) are so happy she is finally here! #2 - We found out back in February that our second little one is also another little girl! We have decided to name her Hannah Jane Runyon. The Runyon family started out as all boys and is now being taken over by girls!!!!! :)<br /><br /><div>Okay ... on with the pics ...</div><br /><div>First up ... Isabella's "school" had a trike-a-thon to raise money. As you can see, they were allowed to ride in anything that moved & Isabella's legs were still too short at the time of this event for her tricycle. So ... we went with the princess car ... so appropriate<br /><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063560950389266" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2YE2RKcRQGI/Tbr5ogrVGhI/AAAAAAAABks/Z3tTMuDVxJA/s200/a%2B-%2Btrike%2Ba%2Bthon.JPG" /></div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qVqeHW2DMqY/Tbr5oJ604uI/AAAAAAAABkk/s9h8CKWKqnI/s1600/b%2B-%2Btrike%2Ba%2Bthon.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063554841371362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qVqeHW2DMqY/Tbr5oJ604uI/AAAAAAAABkk/s9h8CKWKqnI/s200/b%2B-%2Btrike%2Ba%2Bthon.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UxQ47KGK5Ts/Tbr5n4e3UdI/AAAAAAAABkc/Q_enRh1714k/s1600/c%2B-%2Bplayin%2Bw%2Bdaddy.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063550160687570" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UxQ47KGK5Ts/Tbr5n4e3UdI/AAAAAAAABkc/Q_enRh1714k/s200/c%2B-%2Bplayin%2Bw%2Bdaddy.JPG" /></a><br />As you could tell from the last post, the start of the year was filled with snow days for us. On February 11, I took Isabella to see her first movie to get us out of the house (no worries - by that day, the main roads were ok). We saw "Gnomeo & Juliet" ... pretty cute</div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063211004021634" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nphVNX7RBlY/Tbr5UJBnS4I/AAAAAAAABkU/HMuYDSwQGg0/s200/c%2B-%2Bt%2Bmovies.JPG" /></div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S3og2zKMqp4/Tbr5T21yMQI/AAAAAAAABkM/wjrbd1tSUpc/s1600/c%2B-%2Bu%2Bmovies.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063206122565890" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S3og2zKMqp4/Tbr5T21yMQI/AAAAAAAABkM/wjrbd1tSUpc/s200/c%2B-%2Bu%2Bmovies.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>The following week was Valentines Day & there was a party at "school"</div><br /><div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SQAlqT7cSok/Tbr5TZ9bkoI/AAAAAAAABkE/N3uFFs91lOs/s1600/d%2B-%2Bbella%2Bvday.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063198370009730" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SQAlqT7cSok/Tbr5TZ9bkoI/AAAAAAAABkE/N3uFFs91lOs/s200/d%2B-%2Bbella%2Bvday.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>Her daddy sent her flowers to her classroom (the card says "My Little Valentine, Love Daddy") </div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aydWfOHmuAs/Tbr5TKkyuAI/AAAAAAAABj8/Z7v4J8vez5k/s1600/d%2B-%2Bdaddys%2Bflowers.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601063194240137218" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aydWfOHmuAs/Tbr5TKkyuAI/AAAAAAAABj8/Z7v4J8vez5k/s200/d%2B-%2Bdaddys%2Bflowers.JPG" /></a><br /></div><br /><div>Our next big adventure was in March. It was past time to get rid of the beloved "paci." At age one, we restricted her addiction to bed and nap time. We swore we would get rid of it before age 2. Age 2 came and went and we knew it had to be done well in advance of having a second baby in the house. So ... we told her that the baby animals at the zoo needed her pacis (she loves animals) and since she was a big girl, she didn't need them. We promised if she helped us give them away she could have whatever she wanted from the toy store as a gift for being so nice. So ... the Saturday morning came & we went on a "paci hunt" and gathered up every single paci we had & put them in a big box.

So ... it's been too long. So sorry, but things have been busy in the life of the Runyons. I will do my best to post updates from the fall to now. Let's start with Halloween & Isabella's 2nd birthday!!!!<br /><br />Bumble Bella:<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9s1zkgGp734/TVRDHCSt1wI/AAAAAAAABcU/VwXVB-5JGa8/s1600/a%2Bbella%2Bas%2Bbee.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 134px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572152427117664002" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9s1zkgGp734/TVRDHCSt1wI/AAAAAAAABcU/VwXVB-5JGa8/s200/a%2Bbella%2Bas%2Bbee.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SsNX8m3Y0vM/TVRDG-okaDI/AAAAAAAABcM/K6Gf8DYPHWA/s1600/b%2Bbella%2Bn%2Bbaby%2Bbo.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572152426135578674" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SsNX8m3Y0vM/TVRDG-okaDI/AAAAAAAABcM/K6Gf8DYPHWA/s200/b%2Bbella%2Bn%2Bbaby%2Bbo.JPG" /></a><br />We went trick-or-treating & had so much fun after we got over being shy ... the candy helped! :) We even got to see our friend Bo Young. He looked so cute as a little tiger!!!<br />Bella's school had a fall festival & we also attended that for some weekend fun ...<br />The bounce house:<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rrSJ-jlPxgA/TVRC4UjygjI/AAAAAAAABcE/lsLeWi6u-qU/s1600/c%2Bbounce%2Bhouse.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572152174323073586" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rrSJ-jlPxgA/TVRC4UjygjI/AAAAAAAABcE/lsLeWi6u-qU/s200/c%2Bbounce%2Bhouse.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l9WFMMwLzmo/TVRC3cyWCPI/AAAAAAAABb0/4orAMYLA2hM/s1600/d%2Bbounce%2Bhouse.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572152159351736562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l9WFMMwLzmo/TVRC3cyWCPI/AAAAAAAABb0/4orAMYLA2hM/s200/d%2Bbounce%2Bhouse.JPG" /></a><br />And ... the most important fall event, of course ...

For now ...Hello friends! Well, I had half way made up my mind to stop this blog. Then ... you pulled me back in. I guess more people are keeping up with us on here than I realized. So ... here goes w/ a summer update. I don't have pictures for everything as many are on others' cameras.<br /><br />Things have been a little hectic as our house is on the market. Trying to keep a house ready to show with a toddler and a crazy-huge canine is not easy. We have thought about pulling it back off the market until the spring, but we shall see. The house we are after hasn't sold yet either ... so ... who knows! As if that has not kept us busy enough ... we've had our share of fun too ...<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/TFr627b6SaI/AAAAAAAABUE/DD83n3YjqYA/s1600/jack+bapt.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501985716361120162" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/TFr627b6SaI/AAAAAAAABUE/DD83n3YjqYA/s200/jack+bapt.jpg" /></a></div><div>Jack, our nephew, being baptized in May.

She is talking all the time and cracking us up constantly. One of her favorite games is chase. She calls it "Oh, no" because that is what she says before she starts running around the house hoping you will chase her.

Fun, fun!<br />The weekend that followed was my failed attempt to join my friend, Shannon, at her garage sale. It rained, it poured, and everyone stayed home! I think we made a combined $100 ... and I learned a valuable lesson ... no more garage sales.<br />The next weekend was not only Mothers' Day, but my sister-in-law's birthday! We went to Hot Springs & had a fun night on Saturday celebrating Sara's b-day. Sunday was spent churchin', lunchin', and pamperin' ... Sara & I had our nails and toes done while drinking wine ... bliss!<br />I wish I had taken pictures of these two weekends; however, I get a big fat "F" on that.<br />Last weekend, I drove to Kansas City for Nilce's bridal shower & bachelorette party. It was so great to see her & we had so much fun being silly. And ... Brad gets the dad-of-the-month award for entertaining Isabella all weekend while mommy was away! She was happy & the house was still standing!!! ;)<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at3BmZsHI/AAAAAAAABR8/pKDLxkGr8BQ/s1600/DSC03219.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473753557949329522" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at3BmZsHI/AAAAAAAABR8/pKDLxkGr8BQ/s200/DSC03219.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at290jGqI/AAAAAAAABR0/henJC5mu8nI/s1600/DSC03223.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473753556934924962" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at290jGqI/AAAAAAAABR0/henJC5mu8nI/s200/DSC03223.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at2fXz4oI/AAAAAAAABRs/626g530Y3fo/s1600/DSC03224.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473753548761326210" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at2fXz4oI/AAAAAAAABRs/626g530Y3fo/s200/DSC03224.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at2H8KbaI/AAAAAAAABRk/2KfRaVIoHFk/s1600/DSC03235.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473753542471347618" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at2H8KbaI/AAAAAAAABRk/2KfRaVIoHFk/s200/DSC03235.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at1gkIl4I/AAAAAAAABRc/PtgZMK17hV8/s1600/DSC03243.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473753531901581186" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S_at1gkIl4I/AAAAAAAABRc/PtgZMK17hV8/s200/DSC03243.JPG" /></a></div></div>The Runyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846536471708369219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269456153471264294.post-13271442177916501752010-04-14T16:06:00.004-05:002010-04-14T16:18:12.225-05:00Dancing ...So ... one post actually NOT about Isabella ...<br /><div>I have always sort of paid attention to 'Dancing with the Stars' -but never really watched it.

I was so excited to eat candy. Uh ... did I say that?!?! I meant, of course, for Easter Sunday! I bought Isabella a "princess" basket ... I just couldn't help myself.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7ymhPawGOI/AAAAAAAABQM/n0ZC8y3hMNg/s1600/basket.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457419938470828258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7ymhPawGOI/AAAAAAAABQM/n0ZC8y3hMNg/s200/basket.jpg" /></a><br />My mother has said that when I was little I would only wear pink and purple and threw a fit if I didn't have a bow in my hair. Well, I was determined that MY little one would not be so "girlie." Well ... I take it back. I'm creating a monster. I can't stand it if she doesn't match; I can't stand it if her shoes don't match her clothes; and I can't stand it if she doesn't have a bow in her hair to boot! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?! Wait ... don't answer that, please. Thankfully, all my anal-retentive ways haven't rubbed off on her yet ... she tried to eat Toby's tennis ball that we play fetch with the other night and then rubbed all the dirt into her chubby little hands and squealed with delight. Yes, I <strong>sprinted</strong> for a washcloth, soap, and hand sanitizer. Anyway ... back to Easter. We went up to NWA for the weekend to see my fam. We spent Saturday at the Hogs baseball game. It was so much fun and a BEAUTIFUL day to be outside. Shout out to Mike - my daddy and Isabella's "popo" - for making such fun plans and getting the box seats! Then, we cooked steaks on the grill (well ... dad and Brad did) and plopped down to watch the NCAA games. I digress for a moment ...<br /><br />HOLY CRAP ... BUTLER?!?! What a story. They didn't quite pull it off this week, but dang. I did NOT have that one pegged; however, I DID whip both my father and husband as far as brackets go, thank you very much! <br />And ... back to Easter ...<br /><br />I filled blue and green plastic eggs for my nephew, Jack, with puffs and freeze-dried yogurt bites so that they could actually be opened & eaten! Isabella found his eggs first thing when she came in our room on Easter morning. She kept bringing one by one over to our bed ...<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7ymg7vGaYI/AAAAAAAABQE/JseKOZRiprk/s1600/jacks+eggs.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457419933187467650" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7ymg7vGaYI/AAAAAAAABQE/JseKOZRiprk/s200/jacks+eggs.jpg" /></a><br />So ...

Natalie - this one's for you, girl! :)<br />A lot has been happening with the Runyons. I realize that I am getting worse, not better about my updates. So sorry ... here goes ...<br /><br />First up, February ... FAT TUESDAY. Our church held a Fat Tuesday parade and a potluck/party. This was mommy's last day to eat sweets until Easter so, she stuck with cookies for dinner! :) Isabella had fun watching the parade and playing with the beads. She also got to see her cousins and friends from "school" ...<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7NloTka2RI/AAAAAAAABOE/G3R1_93nt3w/s1600/fat+tues.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454815316798003474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7NloTka2RI/AAAAAAAABOE/G3R1_93nt3w/s200/fat+tues.jpg" /></a><br />Isabella watching the parade and wearing her beads!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7Nln3VNYCI/AAAAAAAABN8/zcD4kRjD6EY/s1600/fat+tues+2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454815309218013218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7Nln3VNYCI/AAAAAAAABN8/zcD4kRjD6EY/s200/fat+tues+2.jpg" /></a><br />The two of us with my aunt, Marti, and my cousin, Elizabeth (yes, we've been told we look more like sisters than cousins) & Elizabeth's three cuties (I guess poor Sara Cate is just not quite tall enough for her cute face to make the picture!!!)<br /><br />Later that month, Brad and I went to New Orleans with his brother and our sister in law for a wedding. We had so much fun & the only desire to come back was to see our girls! Isabella and cousin Sammi had fun with the grandparents in Hot Springs while we were away.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7NlaiHnuTI/AAAAAAAABNM/9X_TlSGYA_E/s1600/bourbon+st+2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454815080185575730" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7NlaiHnuTI/AAAAAAAABNM/9X_TlSGYA_E/s200/bourbon+st+2.jpg" /></a><br />Hitting Bourbon ... both the street and the drink! :)<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7NlyZIE76I/AAAAAAAABOc/cUcYHGZwf2s/s1600/on+the+streetcar.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454815490088431522" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/S7NlyZIE76I/AAAAAAAABOc/cUcYHGZwf2s/s200/on+the+streetcar.jpg" /></a><br />The next day ... on the street car ...

however, she is so much fun right now. she babbles non-stop and actually has a growing vocabulary. she dances with me in the car when i turn on music and sometimes even attempts to sing along. she laughs all the time and sometimes even at herself! anyway ... back to Christmas ... we got the season started off right with three fun events last weekend. on saturday morning, i worked an event for the children's hospital called "breakfast with santa" and Brad brought Isabella to see me. we actually got her to sit on santa's lap long enough for a picture, but that is the one i can't post b/c it was not my camera! she ate pancakes and eggs and then "worked" with me at the crafts table for a little while. it was so much fun and she loved watching all the other kids. then, miss priss was invited to two different "cookie parties" that were held on sunday. she didn't get her afternoon nap in, but she managed to stay awake with a little help from the icing. haha!<br />well ... if i keep typing away, the dinner i managed to cook tonight will burn ... so, on to the good stuff ... fun pictures:<br /><br />Thanksgiving in NWA:<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SyBk24OcQYI/AAAAAAAABIA/eq8FJnRv_40/s1600-h/52400020.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413437646068007298" style="WIDTH: 200px;

I can't believe I haven't posted since June! So sorry ... we've had a busy summer. First thing's first ... Isabella is 9 months old today. I can't believe it! Time has FLOWN by. Her current stats are: 27 inches (50th percentile) & 17 lbs, 13 oz (25th - 50th percentile). If you have not had a chance to see her in a long time (or ever) ... you won't beleive how much she's grown up in 9 short months. I always thought people who talked about how fast the time goes with your baby were silly ... especially when I was facing those days that never seemed to end when Isabella had colic and didn't do much else but scream and nurse and scream and nurse. However, now ... I get it, I get it. There are days I just want to freeze time and spend the rest of my life in that moment watching and playing with her. Okay. On to what people really like about blogs ... the pictures ... here are a few from our summer fun: <div></div><br /><div>Father's Day with Brad and my daddy:<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnpgsL_k3I/AAAAAAAAAO4/UyK_s8pGrQI/s1600-h/father%27s+day.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366577178815206258" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 128px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnpgsL_k3I/AAAAAAAAAO4/UyK_s8pGrQI/s200/father%27s+day.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div>Pool time for Isabella ... this diva needs her drink ...<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnqnzVtWiI/AAAAAAAAAPY/rhKAAQz5Nt0/s1600-h/is+in+pool.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366578400505715234" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 126px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnqnzVtWiI/AAAAAAAAAPY/rhKAAQz5Nt0/s200/is+in+pool.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366577186686875618" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnphJgvt-I/AAAAAAAAAPA/rPSMbSkWW7s/s200/7-14-2009-019.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div><div></div><br /><div>Fourth of July in Hot Springs: </div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Snnphu0gmoI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/Bql8U7ZrNyo/s1600-h/4th+of+july.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366577196701883010" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Snnphu0gmoI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/Bql8U7ZrNyo/s200/4th+of+july.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnpheASKMI/AAAAAAAAAPI/lwU4jbwRWXQ/s1600-h/7-14-2009-008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366577192187865282" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnpheASKMI/AAAAAAAAAPI/lwU4jbwRWXQ/s200/7-14-2009-008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><br /><div>The arrival of my nephew ... in Philly: </div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnqoW5caqI/AAAAAAAAAPo/sjWs7kg8X0Q/s1600-h/jack.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366578410050841250" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnqoW5caqI/AAAAAAAAAPo/sjWs7kg8X0Q/s200/jack.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnsONgq_7I/AAAAAAAAAPw/UiUnS6Ywuqg/s1600-h/em+n+jack.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366580159877676978" style="WIDTH: 133px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SnnsONgq_7I/AAAAAAAAAPw/UiUnS6Ywuqg/s200/em+n+jack.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div>LOVES!</div><div>-em-</div>The Runyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846536471708369219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269456153471264294.post-76580802481110192142009-06-09T10:26:00.004-05:002009-06-09T10:37:20.463-05:00Is's first lake trip ...Well, Isabella had her first trip to the lake last weekend. Friends of ours from Tulsa, OK were in Arkansas last weekend at Lake Catherine and invited us over to play. (They had a little girl, London, two-and-a-half months ago & we were so happy to meet that little cutie pie in person!) I hope they will share pictures from the boat ride, b/c Isabella looked HILARIOUS in her little Dora the Explorer life jacket! However, I have some pictures of the little princess in her hot-pink swimsuit, hot-pink sunglasses, and hot-pink hair bow! (She also had a hot-pink cover-up, but I failed to get that in the photos!) Yes, I'm aware that I went a little overboard on the hot-pink. I couldn't help myself. My mom says I did it when I was little too ... everything had to be pink or purple. I'm probably going to create a monster ... oh well ... <div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5f_bTDI/AAAAAAAAAOI/EwXFoOX_eMg/s1600-h/is+in+suit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351533063785522" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5f_bTDI/AAAAAAAAAOI/EwXFoOX_eMg/s200/is+in+suit.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5ZpXeyI/AAAAAAAAAOA/d68VK8HIZAQ/s1600-h/is+in+bathingsuit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351531360647970" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5ZpXeyI/AAAAAAAAAOA/d68VK8HIZAQ/s200/is+in+bathingsuit.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5hoi20I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/kYR54JHECCk/s1600-h/teething+on+sunglasses.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351533504682818" style="WIDTH: 167px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5hoi20I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/kYR54JHECCk/s200/teething+on+sunglasses.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5_ZyN4I/AAAAAAAAAOY/SA3xWMR0NuI/s1600-h/em+n+is+at+lake.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351541495838594" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 192px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A5_ZyN4I/AAAAAAAAAOY/SA3xWMR0NuI/s200/em+n+is+at+lake.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A6CidVOI/AAAAAAAAAOg/BgoLziiu31k/s1600-h/b+n+is+at+lake.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351542337524962" style="WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A6CidVOI/AAAAAAAAAOg/BgoLziiu31k/s200/b+n+is+at+lake.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A-W7xMxI/AAAAAAAAAOo/badGB6jRh8c/s1600-h/em+n+is+at+lake+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351616531870482" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A-W7xMxI/AAAAAAAAAOo/badGB6jRh8c/s200/em+n+is+at+lake+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A-jeWRkI/AAAAAAAAAOw/Z05-40Q36D0/s1600-h/is+in+baby+pool+on+dock.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345351619898132034" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/Si6A-jeWRkI/AAAAAAAAAOw/Z05-40Q36D0/s200/is+in+baby+pool+on+dock.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>The Runyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846536471708369219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269456153471264294.post-41835878955145917312009-05-29T14:54:00.005-05:002009-05-29T15:07:43.226-05:00update in pictures ...Before taking Isabella to her first baseball game ...<br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SiA93KYu5kI/AAAAAAAAAMw/7Qj3xfVzzdo/s1600-h/em+n+is+before+ballgame.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341337175951599170" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 170px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SiA93KYu5kI/AAAAAAAAAMw/7Qj3xfVzzdo/s200/em+n+is+before+ballgame.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div>Miss Cutie-Pie herself at the game with daddy & mommy ...<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341337179650931074" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SiA93YKuOYI/AAAAAAAAAM4/DloKjTEluAY/s200/b+n+is+at+ballgame.jpg" border="0" /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SiA93tHJh7I/AAAAAAAAANA/xYTM8GdyRMU/s1600-h/em+n+is+at+ballgame.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341337185273087922" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fxmucyTfuk4/SiA93tHJh7I/AAAAAAAAANA/xYTM8GdyRMU/s200/em+n+is+at+ballgame.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Mother's Day - dinner with Aunt Sara and Cousin Sammi (and everyone else too!)

He said she was the most perfect little girl in the whole world. Oh, wait, that was her daddy, not the doctor. :)<br />However, the doctor did say she was "very pretty" and "doing great." I knew we picked a smart pediatrician! She is now in the 50th percentile for weight (I am guessing thanks to starting solids) ... at 15 pounds and 10 ounces ... and 75th percentile for height ... at 26 1/4 inches (i think ... i wrote it down, but it is still in the car ... it was something over 26 for sure though).<br /><br />Fun news: Aunt Alli and Uncle Jeff are coming home for a visit at the end of the month. Isabella is VERY excited to see them & whisper something to baby Jack who is a growing boy in Aunt Alli's tummy.<br /><br />Old news: Mother's Day. Shout out to Brad ... he did VERY well. "Isabella" sent me beautiful flowers at work and, on Sunday morning, I opened up fun cards and gifts!<br /><br />I am a lucky girl.The Runyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846536471708369219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269456153471264294.post-5285772195500785392009-05-01T13:34:00.004-05:002009-05-01T14:36:07.864-05:00Eight Things ...Eight Things:<br /><br />I've never been tagged to do this ... however, I figure that is because I normally don't use this blog to talk about much other than Isabella.

Thought about re-painting my toenails but decided to wait until I can get a pedicure this weekend<br />5. Took some heat for something that went down at work that was against my advice<br />6. Sang Isabella several songs as she drifted to sleep<br />7. Watched Greys and Private Practice off DVR after I got Isabella down<br />8.

Take Brad and Isabella on a really long vacation ... somewhere with hot sun, white sand, blue water, and cold drinks!!!<br />2. Live in the same town as more of our immediate family<br />3. Give lots of money to all the organizations I work with and lots of others as well<br />4. Lose the last few pounds of baby weight (But, this WILL happen ... I'm on a mission by golly)<br />5.

Oh how time flies!<br />I have yet to post Easter pictures of miss cutie patootie herself. However, I promise I will. "KK" and "Popo" have them on their camera and KK has been a little too busy for me to bug her about sending them. As soon as I get them, I'll share ... PROMISE!<br />Why has KK been busy, you ask? If you remember my post from several months ago, I asked for prayers for one of my sisters, Nancy. She has finished her chemo treatments for breast cancer and is doing well. She had her big surgery yesterday and did great! Thanks for all your prayers! GOD IS GOOD! KK went to San Fran to be with her. I'm so thankful she was able to do that.<br />The other prayer request I now have is for my Mimi. She has been in the hospital for two weeks now. Her spirits are great and she is doing better, but it is always a little scary. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will continue to improve and we can take her home soon.<br />Work has been crazy busy for myself and for Brad ... but ... as soon as I have a moment to myself, I'll do another post about the little one & share more pics!<br />Loves to all!The Runyonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846536471708369219noreply@blogger.com0
