Showered with Love

This weekend was filled with activity. First, my man went out of town with his brothers and brother-in-laws to the Houston vs Chiefs game. The outcome: not so great. G and I had a girls weekend full of fun. Saturday, my mom-in-law threw a baby shower for our little boy. I felt so loved and honored. Saturday night was a girls night, with Auntie L... and niece and nephew. My sweet little niece is learning about body parts.... Thats all I really should share. Oh the curiosity of little kids. So sweet, so hands-on, and so innocent. Sunday, Georgia and I had breakfast with Uncle R. The afternoon was spent sewing with my mom and Melody. I finally put my Janome to use! I love it. I hope to post pictures of the little divasaur project soon. The evening came to a close with a date to get yogurt with Uncle R. We're beyond blessed with the family the Lord has given us.

Justified.

It is Wednesday night. Middle of the week. Nothing special. I've been longing for a Wild Berry Smoothie from McDonald's. So, my pregnancy gave me an excuse. I think this was justified. Don't you?

KKG

Dearest Blog,

Recently three of my good friends and I went back to Manhattan for a day of Manhappiness. We went to our favorite local restaurant, then onto the Kappa house to see how it had changed. Apparently, KKG has turned into an Asian inspired colonial house. Is there such a thing?

Ms. Anderson, in God's green earth, what happened to your decor? I must admit the upside floral wallpaper and true blue sectional is truly missed.

One thing that hasn't changed at Kappa: the code to get in. Nice work on remembering the pattern of those 4 digits, Kacy.

L&L,

Amy

Pure Bliss

Last night I bought these boots for Georgia. Possibly, the best $3 I've ever spent. Georgia is experiencing pure bliss with these shoes (in this picture her eyes were tearing up)! Hilarious.

I should note that this headband is worn nearly everyday. She even wears it to bed at night. Some kids have their blankets, binkys, dolls...not Georgia, she has her headband.

Four Ladies and a Cake

I've fallen in love with cake! Thanks to Three Women and an Oven, I have developed this far-fetched dream to work in a bakery someday. Who knows if this will ever become a reality.

For years I have wanted to take a cake class. My sister-in-law Anna helped this 'want' turn to a reality when she told me that she was going to take a class. She invited me and my other two sister-in-laws (Leah and Lia) to join in on the action. Here are pictures of my first decorated cake: The Cupcake Cake.

Big Girl Bed

In preparation for #2 Georgia has been moved to a 'Big Girl Bed.' She thinks this bed is pretty cool!

Today during her nap, she laid in bed for nearly two hours with her eyes wide open, sucking her thumb. Behind her thumb you could see the corners of her mouth turned up into a huge grin. :)

Tonight will be the test. We're hoping she stays in the bed all night without any visits to our bedroom or other areas of the house.

Thanks to Uncle Rusty for providing the bed. To Poppy for loading it onto the car and to Damma Susan for assisting in putting the bed together.

Georgia's First Haircut

We didn't have any plans on when to get Georgia's first haircut. Then one day a photo album of Georgia's time at school was sent home from daycare. In each picture we saw a little girl, who looked a little ragged. Jesse and I looked at each other and we both began to laugh. I guess you could say it was out of embarrassment. So we met Georgia's cousin at the salon and tamed those stringy locks. We went from a shoulder blade length to a stacked bob. This chop took place two months ago and we're already for round 2!
