Wrapping up Christmas...

Wrapping up? Or un-wrapping? Either one, we had two more Christmas visits....First one was at our house with Laura, Bill, Connor, Mawna, Pap, and Aunt Sandy.


Please convince these people to find out if they are having a boy or girl. ;)

Aunt Sandy was given baby Hannah to feed - look at her juggling that cup and everything!


Connor opened some gifts....


Chloe and April opened some gifts....


Chloe had asked Santa for a baby doll stroller.  While opening her stocking the day before, she made a comment of "this isn't what I asked for"......Well, Mawna told Chloe that she had received a message from someone about a particular gift....She opened it....and, ran over to both my mom and dad with giant hugs of gratitude.  Santa and Mawna are friends ;)


We hung out for the rest of the day, had a spaghetti dinner, and then this happened.  It might have been the highlight of the day for April.  She came back in after walking Cinnamon and said, "I had a great time". :)


While Connor and April were jumping on the trampoline downstairs (which Chloe had already delcaired "not very princess-y") Chloe got to "do" science with Uncle Bill.  We mixed chemicals until we had a solution that made a clear glass ornament turn silver! :)


The next morning, we went to visit Mommom Ritter and exchange gifts.  The girls got new baby dolls!





The next day, Sunday, it rained while we were leaving for church.  So some girls got to use their umbrellas! :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
