We’re not really doing school this week. We’re still on Christmas break. But my sister-in-law, Amy, her husband, Craig, and their kids, Benjamin and Louis, are in town from California for a few days, so we decided to go to the Georgia Aquarium–the aquarium that was, when it was built, the largest in the world! It doesn’t sound so impressive … Continue reading
(I had sort of hoped to either have a baby before 2012 ended, for tax deduction purposes, or to have the first baby in my city/state/country of 2013, in hopes of getting free stuff. But, as you can see, I am still here. Historically, my babies show up remarkably close to their due dates). So check out how I’m trying … Continue reading
I hesitate to even make this list, because I don’t want to feel tied down next October to what I thought was most important nearly a year before. If that makes sense. But I like to think that I’m a flexible enough person to not do that. I’m also hesitant because right now I want to just put “the rest … Continue reading
I planned to do a blog about the new house before I even knew which house it would be (and THAT’S kind of a long story, that I’ll tell sometime). We had no idea we were even going to move until around this time last year. In fact, around this time last year we were simultaneously FINALLY getting around to … Continue reading
We moved in to the Boxy Colonial in May, but I didn’t get started blogging until September (I’d long planned to do it, but actually jumping in took me awhile). First post September 2, but then nothing else until the 18th. Since then I’ve done a fair job keeping up with posting. I attribute this largely to blogging being more … Continue reading
Dave takes a lot longer than I do to finish a blog post, but he’s also a lot more thorough. These steps were finished awhile ago. And still standing! Who knows if my mobile will have long since fallen on the baby two months from now…. –Gretchen This is a momentous occasion … my very first blog entry! Gretchen has … Continue reading
No more of this taking time off for Christmas nonsense; I am 3 weeks and 1 day away from my due date. Predictably, doing the board and batten right before Christmas did not actually happen. But we made up for it a bit by spending the evening before Christmas Eve making our very first no-sew (or, umm, any kind of) … Continue reading
I broke out my big present today because it’s my new camera and I NEED it for tomorrow morning. Oh my goodness; I’m in love! It’s not a huge upgrade…I had a Canon Rebel XT, and I went with the Rebel T3i this time, opting to stick with a more affordable body to leave more room in the budget for … Continue reading
Warning! This post will contain approximately 4 million pictures because 1. tutorial! and 2. mobiles are fun to take pictures of. If one is in search of a mobile for one’s baby’s nursery, one can do a quick Etsy search and find many beautiful and pricy mobiles to choose from. Quite a few of them are made out of colorful … Continue reading
I know everyone else is still posting about Christmas, but I am done with that! Moving on! Mostly because I have a post Christmas deadline looming, and a half finished nursery staring at me every time I go in my bedroom. I’m still kind of impressed with how much we’ve gotten done in the past couple of weeks, but I … Continue reading
