Discouraged
I had planned on posting some pictures of random things that are making me happy lately, but I got too busy cleaning the house and I ran out of time. I’m at work now and not able to upload pictures.
The house is ready and is on the market. The photographers are coming tomorrow to shoot [...]

slow down
I’m a stubborn girl. We’re talking knock me over the head stubborn. Ever had one of those moments when God has to do something drastic to get you to pay attention? I had one of those moments today.
I’ll explain, but let me back up a little bit.
I’ve been really busy this week trying to get [...]

For my future mess maker
Every weekend (almost) we make the 3 hour drive to Houston to spend the weekend with Daddy (and Grandpa Al, of course). Even though we are in town, Daddy still has to work, so I try to pack lots of things to keep us all entertained. Most weekends there’s at least one trip to the [...]

25 weeks, 1 day
Only 14 weeks & 6 days to go…but who’s counting?
Oh, and Mama…please don’t think that my lack of phone calls this week is me avoiding you. It’s not. Kaitlin threw my cell in the bath tub Tuesday morning, so I’m hopefully receiving my replacement today.

Baby Blocks
I’ve started on a different afghan for Seth.
(star square)
My plan is to knit up squares of basically the same size (give or take a row) using various dishcloth patterns.
Once I’m finished knitting up all of the squares I’m going to sew them together to make a blanket for Seth.
I haven’t decided on how many blocks [...]

A First for Kaitlin
I just recently found my camera cord, so I’m playing catch up this week instead of posting pictures of crafty goodness…because honestly, there’s not much to share right now. Most of my time and energy has been focused on packing, cleaning, and trying to keep little hands from making more mess than my sanity can [...]

Little helping hands
It’s been a whirlwind of cleaning, packing, sorting, cleaning, organizing, purging (did I mention cleaning?) around our house these days. We’ve got an appointment to have a realtor come out to our house this Friday at 5pm and I pray that all goes well…or rather, that he doesn’t give us a loooong list of things [...]

Feeling better
So, I spoke to my ob and she prescribed me something to combat my baby blues. I’m feeling considerably better. Thank you all for your warm thoughts and wishes.
We took another trip to Houston to be with Steve this past weekend, which was pretty eventful.
We. Bought. A. House.
Yay!!
I won’t bombard you all with [...]
