The Countdown Begins.......

Rainy day updates!!!

First, I would like to give a shout out to Claire on her 13th birthday!!! Next, I thought I would play catch up today with the rainy weather and all, so here we go.....

Projects - I have been spending time decorating and getting ready for Lillie and that includes baby projects...

I have made a few burp clothes




and I have also made a baby blanket (a pretty messy one)



As for decorating, we have started on the baby's room and it is coming along!





Lastly, I made some nice fabric artwork to spruce up the guest room



I still have a couple of things I am working on, including growing a human...



That's all for now....hope everyone is staying safe and dry!

Hello 2010!!!

Hope everyone had an amazing New Year's Eve....I know I did! My cousin through a 30th b-day/80's New Year's Eve party and it was totally radical! We threw together our best 80's attire and rang in the new year!!!

Nate wore his original mail order "Warrior" jacket and I did the best preggo jazzercise I could....



Claire rocked the MJ look....



Finally, here is a little video of the last minute of 2009!

Projects!!!

So, I have been trying to get everything organized and that includes the guest room. I decided that in order to save money I would recover these hideous pillows rather than buying new ones. Here is what I had to work with....




I chose to go with bright cheery colors and this is how they turned out....




Overall, I am very pleased with how they turned out and can't wait to have visitors!!

The holidays are coming to a close......

It has been a fun and busy holiday season. We had our traditional family get together and the babies had a ball opening gifts this year!



Don't they look thrilled!!!

We also a girl's night out at Flemming's and the infamous Tumbleweeds.....



It was a great evening, but I was a little sad that I could only have one glass of wine. :( But, I only have a few more months of no wine.

Hope everyone's holidays were fantastic and the year to come is even better!!

A great Christmas morning recipe....

Pop Up German Pancakes!

I got this recipe off another blog, Make and Takes, and it is easy and delicious!

You'll need:

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
dash salt

Directions:

You simply combine ingredients with a whisk, grease a cupcake pan, and fill about half way with batter. Throw them into the oven at about 400 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.......



I serve them with a squirt of lemon and powdered sugar!

Enjoy

Christmas 2009

The season is in full swing!

We had some issues picking out the tree, but I was finally able to settle on this one.....




It's a little bit fatter than I wanted, but it's getting the job done.




Hope everyone has a a wonderful holiday and a happy new year!!!
