My Little Bit of Sunshine

I might be somewhat biased...but I am pretty sure I have the cutest, most beautiful, smartest, wackiest, best nephews around. I stole these pictures from my sister's blog. I just can't believe how quick they grow up. They are going to be great cousins.

I was finally able to get this baby quilt done. I am not sure why, but any task I have to complete before the baby comes seems like an overwhelming activity. I never thought I was going to get this blanket done, then my sister came to the rescue. Lisa is a great sewer and a pro at the rag quilts...she helped me finish it up, and fix all my mistakes, which she will readily tell you there was plenty of. I am so thankful to have her help and to have the blanket done. I love it...it turned out great! As for the nursery, it is coming slowly but surely. My parents and sisters have been helping me...okay not helping...but doing it for me. My mom is a pro painter and my dad has been putting up the bead board. am so thankful for them. It has been a family effort for sure. It is coming along. It looks like a disaster right now, but I hope soon it will be looking beautiful for the arrival of this baby girl. Only 10 more weeks, and I can't believe it.

Today is a special day. We are celebrating two birthdays for two of my favorite people/pets in the world. One of my closest friends, Demian, and my little friend, Henley! I don’t know where I would be without either one of them. Henley Henley has been my sidekick for seven years now. I got him the first year I moved out of my house and started college. I actually got him when I lived in the dorms, which of course was not legal. However, it all worked out and he is been by my side ever since. He is really the best dog I could ever ask for. Pretty much perfect. He can be a little grouchy with other people, but he sure loves his mommy. Everyone always said that Henley and I are alike and it is true. WE are both stubborn, don’t like to bothered at times, and can get a little grouchy. People think I am crazy for loving dogs the way I do, but Henley makes it so easy. He is now and forever my little man! Happy Birthday HenHen! Demian and I met my first year of college. He was t...

Saturday was a great day...we had two family Christmas parties that took up the whole day. We did not get back until late...this is what we came home to. All my Christmas presents that were wrapped are now open...all toilet paper on the roll was spread out all of the upstairs, and my Christmas Eeyore was defluffed and destroyed. The evidence is in the last picture...all in Halley's beard. It is hard to see becuase both are white. What a mess...Naughty Pets!

So I guess it is time to join the club. So many friends are having babies right now and it only seems right that I too join in on the adventure of babies. I am excited to anounce that Jakob and I are expecting our first in April...along with Amanda and Courtney (as I have seen on the blogs). We had our first ultrasound yesterday and found out we are having a girl. So here are the first pics of the little one...sorry not so good. They are the best I could get. There is a foot, a spine, and the face.

I tried a new idea I found...well I can't remember to be honest. Some magazine I am sure. Anyway...here they are. They did not turn out as cute as the ones in the magazine, but mine never do. I don't have pictures from Halloween...I forgot my camera. My neice and nephew were teletubbies and were super cute...they should be on my sister's blog. Anyway...I hope everyone had a happy Halloween. It is offically the start of the holidays I guess. Strap up and hold on.
