a little preview of nomi’s room……….
when heather was here, we came up with some great ideas for a room for nomi, and since we are heading down there next week, i thought i would get it started. heather picked out these fabrics, and they couldn’t be more perfect! now i should go, the fabric is calling, and i have a lot to do!!!
booties…..
i know everyone is making these little shoes, so i had to try my hand at it. i’ve actually had the martha stewart pattern for about three years, but i just never made them, and then hannah and i came across this heather bailey pattern. when hannah was here i bought everything to make them, and just got around to it yesterday. they are seriously so easy, and now my brain is in overdrive with all these ideas. it makes me want to have another baby, just so i can put these on them!!! in the mean time, nomi is going to have a lot of shoes!
what a weekend……..
well, i’ll just start with a thank you to mark for lending us this fabulous wheelbarrow, who knew it would be the prop for some of my favorite pictures of the boys to date!

okay, a little disclaimer…..eric snapped this picture, and a few others while i was working my BUTT off, (he worked very hard, tooo!) our back yard needed some changes…..so we thought with the nice weather we would take it on. it was very nicely landscaped when we moved in four years ago, but NOT very kid friendly. there was pea gravel right next to bark, and a very nice cedar arbor with a swing in the corner. it was fine up until eli started using the swing as a , well, swing, and dylan decided that rocks were MMMmmmmm!
while under construction….
after two days of hard labor!!!!
Fledgie the fledgling…
our little friend that has spent the last few days using our front yard as it’s practice run way. she’s learning to fly, and is doing a fabulous job!
Special Birthdays……
in the midst of our crazy weekend, i had the chance to make some fun little cards for some very special people, you know who you are, and i will give you a shout out on your respective days, but i couldn’t help but share this fun picture…..color anyone?
