A BIG THANK U TO MIZ CARLA!

A HUGE THANK YOU to my dear friend MIZ CARLA!

She got little Audrey a gift certificate to our favorite store Janie and Jack and we got her Christmas duds with it!!! SO cute!

I also splurged and got her these...

So she is ALL set for the holidays!!! :)

The Cutest Hats!!!

Before Audrey was born I bought her one of these beenie hats from a gal on ETSY Portland Beenie Company..She does such beautiful work!!!

NO.. this picture is not Audrey.. she is a doll though... its one of the pictures on her ETSY Website..

They are the CUTEST hats ever... and Audrey looks so sweet in it.. although I don't have a picture of her to show yet..I just ordered another for her because they fit so good and don't fall off!

She does custom orders with custom colors and also makes adult hats.. I am thinking about getting myself one!

Lucy Lu

So far our prayers have been answered!!!

Lucy's Doc called this morning and she is wagging her tail and eating good...

He said so far so good, and we can pick her up tomorrow!!!!!! Thank GOD!

She is pretty quiet, but its empty here without her! I can't wait to give her a big hug and KISS!!!!

Sweet Lucy

Lucy went in for sugery this morning at 8am..

We jumped everytime the phone rang... (all too familiar) but the vet called at noon.

He said the surgery went very well. They found a few other circulatory issues with the liver, but what they did do she should be able to live a normal life with a special diet.

The vet was very pleased with how well the specialist did,,, according to him.. his is one of the best interalists for animals on the west coast (thank God!)

The next 4-24 hours are still very crucial. We are still biting our nails.. but are relieved as well to know the surgery itself went good... one hurdle past us..

When Bailey passed away it was after surgery in the 22nd hour... so I am still on edge knowing what we've already been through, but we are giving her the best chance she has.. and that is all we can do now.

I got up this morning at 4am to feed the little Audrey... and when she went down again I laid on the couch.... Lucy fell asleep on my neck... Gosh I love that little furry girl.. it was almost as if to say... "it'll be okay"... so sweet!

I will write more when I know more... it seems as if everyone who comes in contact with this little one (same as my other loves... Bailey and Scout) falls in love with her.... not hard to do.. and she is SOOOOO good with Baby!

My sweet Lucy Lu

After almost a dozen trips to the vet over the last month because lucy has been sick off and on.. we found out that she has bad liver. Portal Caval Liver Shunt to be exact.

I am so SICK myself over this because she is definitely a part of our family now and we have fallen in love with her even though she is only 4 months old. She tugs on our heartstrings everyday and I just CANNOT bare to loose another dog!

We have weighed the odds, spoken in depth to our vet and specialist and have decided to go through with a very expensive surgery to give her a chance!

She will go in tomorrow morning put her under and do a intravenous dye study to see if the surgery will even work for her, if so... the surgery will be performed the same day.

She needs all the prayers she can get!!!!

Happy TG!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I have so much to be thankful for!

Sweet friends and new clothes for the little bird!

Sweetest Chelise and friends from ZNEart gave me a gift certificate from my favorite childrens store JANIE and JACK to celebrate my little Audrey Bird's birth

What I was able to purchase with the gift certificate was so perfect that I had to share!!!

The entire outfit has little birdies on them.. including the tiny crib shoes... It is sooo adorable!

Thank you SO much Chel.. and ZNE members!!!! You're too sweet!

I just cannot get over how sweet their childrens clothes are!!! I can't wait to see her in these.. I hope she can wear them now!.. she is so small that she doesn't have many clothes that fit her at the moment! NOT wishing time away by any means I love her small and cuddley :)

More pics of the Little

Don't have a whole lot of time lately :O) but I thought I would share a few more pics!

Lucy has done amazing with her! She kisses her on the head and peeks in her crib when she fusses. She doesn't seem to be super jealous, and I am sure that's due to the fact she is still a pup.

This is a sweet picture of her asleep on daddy's shoulder.

A few pics of things in her room...

I cannot even believe she is 2 weeks old now! According to her Dr. appt this week she has gained a whole pound! It is so true how time flies. She is adapting so well and starting to sleep longer at night... and stay up longer during the daytime. Mommy and Daddy are adapting well too.. our little has brought us so much happiness, we are so blessed! She changes minute to minute and we cherish every bit of it!

Introducing Little Miss

Audrey Peyton Rife

Our healthy baby girl was born on Wednesday October 24th at 5:12 pm

She was 6 lbs 13 oz 19 inches long

I cannot even believe she is finally here! It is so surreal all the feelings I have for her!!! She is a beautiful little miracle.

We had some difficulties during delivery and she was born via emergency C-Section, but she is a PERFECTly healthy baby girl and we're all doing absolutely super!
