My First Afghan


Last week, I completed my first Granny Square Afghan!


I made it for some sweet friends at church who just got married.


It was a lot of work, but totally worth it to see the end result.

Happy Birthday Hannah

Well, Hannah turned two a couple weeks ago. Here are a few
of the best pictures. Hope you enjoy. It was a fun party.


Hannah got to go with Daddy & Grandpa to get balloons
before the party. When she came back, everything was decorated.

her present from Mommy & Daddy


Party guests included Hannah & Neriah;
We were sad that Judah and Elijah were sick
and not able to make it.

She took her time blowing out the candles.

Four months behind

Well, life gets busy and blogging seems like the last thing on my "to do" list. But I wanted to catch up a little bit. In the past four months, we have:

1. Gone on vacation to North Carolina.
2. Moved into a new condo, after much painting and cleaning.
3. Got an ultrasound of our 2nd child. (This time we'll will be surprised about the gender.)
4. Went to a costume party for Halloween.
5. Had our 3rd wedding anniversary.
6. Visited Nathan's parents in Luxembourg.
7. Celebrated Thanksgiving at home with Nathan's grandparents.
8. Celebrated Christmas at my parent's house with my sister and her husband.
9. Rang in the New Year with friends.
10. And had a birthday party for Hannah(today)as she turns two!

As I look back on all of that, it's no wonder I feel tired. I guess part of that comes with being pregnant. In the next 2 months, life may slow down slightly. But in March, a new baby will arrive. That will add to the tiredness and the busyness, but of course we look forward to the joy it will bring too. Here are a few pictures of the past four months. Enjoy!
