The Shade Family: December 2009
http://phillipstoshade.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. Sipping wine, killing time, trying to solve life's mysteries. 2 years being married to my best friend and no better way to celebrate than on the beach. This year we spent a week in beautiful Barbados and had a fabulous time! But who wouldn't in Barbados? Most days were spent lounging on our quiet beach reading a book and soaking up the sun. No worries, no plans.just pure relaxation. I read through the entire twilight series (awesome beach read, by the way! He has blessed me wit...

The Shade Family: March 2009
http://phillipstoshade.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Introducing Shade's Lawn Care. So, this whole 'apply and wait' game got really old, really quick. Doug and I got to the point where we either sit on our butts and wait for a job to come to us, or. Doug has experience with this from working with THP and from when he was younger and we both have always wanted to own our own business. So, 3:00 am on a Saturday morning, the concept of Shade's Lawn Care was formed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). He has blessed me with an absolutely won...

The Shade Family: January 2009
http://phillipstoshade.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. When one door closes.look for the open window. The beginning of 2009 certainly did not go as planned for the Shades. Doug was laid off from his company (residential home builder) at the beginning of December. We weren't too worried and were looking at this as an opportunity for him to do something he really loves. Maybe go back to school? That's where the oh-so-lovely Substitute Teaching comes into play. The dreaded Sub. First, it's not much money AT ALL! I just finished up the ...

The Shade Family: Little Miss Harper Lynne Shade
http://phillipstoshade.blogspot.com/2010/10/little-miss-harper-lynne-shade.html
Friday, October 22, 2010. Little Miss Harper Lynne Shade. I have been meaning to record this story for a while now but as you can imagine, having a newborn leaves little time for blogging. And, with a story as detailed as this one, I needed time. Harper is sleeping in her bassinet, Doug is working and I finally have some time to catch up. So, here goes the long awaited story of little miss Harper's arrival. I was 30 weeks and 1 day pregnant so it was too soon for my water to break, right? So, the waiting...

The Shade Family: Changes...
http://phillipstoshade.blogspot.com/2010/09/changes.html
Monday, September 20, 2010. You would think that after all of these years, I would learn to expect that things don't ever go exactly as planned. Probably because I am such a planner. That's just the way things work. So, here I sit.waiting. The plan is to try and stay pregnant for as long as possible without any infection setting in. Unfortunately, there is absolutely NOTHING I can do to control this, which totally stinks! Why not.I certainly have the time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). He has bless...

The Shade Family: June 2010
http://phillipstoshade.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. 18 weeks and counting. Feeling great and rockin' the prego belly! Monday, June 14, 2010. Goldfish in my tummy. About 2 weeks ago, I was able to experience by far the coolest sensation I have ever felt- the baby moving! It usually only happens if I am slouching on the couch and relaxing. Even more of a reason to take it easy! Doug keeps trying to feel it but no such luck just yet. It's still early so I don't expect him to feel it yet but he is very anxious. Oh the smell of babies!

Tuesday, March 30, 2010. What a trooper this little guy was! He let us put him in all sorts of props and basically slept through the entire shoot! Congrats, Melinda and Steve! Saturday, March 20, 2010. Declan's 1st birthday party. Talk about a perfect day! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and allowed us to spend most of the day outside on the deck. It was great to get together with old friends and spend the day celebrating Declan's 1st birthday. Happy Birthday, Declan! Wednesday, March 10, 2010. So, a...
