A Little Change

Finally!

After way over a year, I have my new website up.

It's amazing how behind on stuff you can get when a 7 pound human being enters your world.

Actually that's kind of a lie... I could have completed this long ago but decided to cuddle and enjoy the smiles of the two kids instead.

But here it is.

And with the new design of the website, a new blog also is here.

I won't be posting here anymore.  But my blog will continue to be about my family, my designs and my life.  So read about my past here and stay-up-to-date with what's going on in our crazy live's here.  For instance... my first temper-tantrum happened today. Probably will write about that "fun" experience soon. All I have to say is... not cool.

But give me feedback on the new site.  I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Cool, Brisk "Summer" Day

Rylee and Hudson are lucky to have so many good friends. Really it's just Rylee because Hudson's interaction with others is more like... let me eat your hair or let me drool and slobber all over you. Most people wouldn't call that friendship. It's cute to call it that though so we will.

There are just a few lovely family that we tend to get together with a little more. Mostly because they are stay at home moms, or live closer to us, and well, convenience is a big thing.  Today we just happen to have two really cute girls over for a while. These two are active and rambunctious just like Rylee so we love having them over.  Rylee and Hudson get worn out (literally as you see in a photo below) and I in return get a long nap time.

We had so much fun taking in the cool, brisk, "summer" day.  (I'm still holding on to summer unlike many.)   It was perfect for picking flowers, playing wiffle ball, legos, cars, babies, wrestling and even "ring-around-the-rosie.

Seriously just passed out while the girls played around him.

I find many amusing things in this video but two stand out the most.  One - How Rylee tries so hard to keep up with these two older friends and Two - How they can just jump and land straight on their butts!!  

Thanks you two sweeties for being such a light in my two children's world.

And to their wonderful mommy and daddy.

Custom Thank Yous

I finished a few custom Thank You cards for Miss Sarah Marie.

I gave her options.

What style do you like?

And if you haven't yet... check out her photography.

Hudson - Nine Months

Happy nine months to this guy.

In just this last month, Hudson has developed tremendously.  

He is so close to crawling which I posted about yesterday. 

He stands very sturdy next to objects but I obviously still help. 

He is off baby food and eating all table food. 

Pancakes, toast, and carrots are his favorite. 

He now is a big boy and sits on his own in the shopping cart. 

And he self labels himself.

Seriously... I know

... what a ham.

Happy nine months Hudson buns.  

Hudson Starting to Scoot

Slowly but surely he's getting it. 

Sweetest Day

How sweet is this couple.  

They intentionally are getting married on the "Sweetest Day" which is October 18th.  

So don't forget to bestow your romantic gestures to the ones you love.  

I'll have to drop a strong hit to Steve that he should start honoring this Midwestern holiday.

psst... gentlemen... every year it's the third Saturday of October.

Just sayin'.
