A few of the crafties...

** Editorial Note**: goodness I've been trying to post this post since early last week! But we lost our internet for like 4 days, and then I've been trying to load a video of L crawling but, there is just no love from blogger and this video so...unfortunatly here is my post...sans video! Enjoy!

Well...I figured that I had a few minutes and I should get on and post some of the craft things that I have been busy with this summer!. Meggan posted about the couple of projects we worked on while she was here, and here are a few of the ones that I've been working on too fill my time when I'm all by my lonesome. There are still two quilt projects that I am unable to post because of their gifty nature. I'm excited because I've already got my fall filling up also with a couple of big christmas projects, and a cute halloween costume for Lulu ( She's going to be the cute skunk from Bambi!) I don't know what it is with me this year, but I have got the crafting bug!! Anyway...here are a few of the fruits of my labor! Enjoy!

Love always,
Jen
2 Pair of baby leg warmers I made for L out of womans socks

A baby sling I made for L. Wish I had made it when she was younger, it would have been real handy at church! But she does pretty good in it now also.

A bib hanger Meg encouraged me to decorate. It was just a plain metal hanger I had in the kitchen, it just looks cuter now! :)

And some of the bows and a headband that I have been learning how to make! Also, here is a video of Lulu crawling around on the floor and sitting up all by herself! enjoy!

A Happy Fathers Day

Well....I don't feel that I've been any more a a slacker than I usually am just because Meggan is here, so here I am to post my bi-weekly post :) Things are going good here, Meg's visit is coming to a close and it's a little bitter sweet. I'm looking a little forward to just getting back into a semblance of a routine with Lorelai and Erick, and kinda doing our own little family thing again. Also, I've got a few more projects in prep for me going out to Utah in mid August that I haven't been able to work on while she has been here that I need to get finished. But....I'm really gonna miss her when she goes. I really do wish I lived closer to my family, but I'm pretty sure every one does who lives far away from home. I know that Lorelai is going to miss them both also, I fear that she's going to be a little out of sorts the first couple of days that it's just me and her again. But I know..it's only 6 short weeks and then I'm headed out to Utah for the end of summer so...lol I really shouldn't complain, the time always goes faster than you think it will!

Lulu is army crawling like a little fiend now! It's about time she got a little more movement then just rolling over! She's still not on her full hands and knees yet, but I know she'll be there soon, she gets up on all fours frequently durring the day. That and she can sit herself up completely now, I had to move her crib matress down to the middle notch, she was sitting up with her hands hanging onto the side of her crib when I got her out of bed this morning. Not gonna be too long and I'm gonna have to move it down to the last notches, when she learns how to stand up!

Anywhoodle, I should go get cleaned up for the day, but I wanted to post quickly, and put up some pictures of the cake that I made for Erick for fathers day. I was pretty happy with it!

Until next time!

Adventures in CT

Alright...so yeah, it's been a while since my last posting spree. And yeah, I'm only getting on now because Meggan has tied me to the computer chair and mandated that I need to post! :) We've been busy, pooping ourselves out really, to the point that I have had some REALLY good night sleeps lately! We've been working on projects and going to the various pools and sprinkler parks that I live by, and I've been helping Meggan spend all of her money on cute baby clothes....which is probably a bad idea in rhetrospec, but....hey, a baby girl can never have too much clothes!! :) So here are some pictures of our fun, and a video of L being herself!

Love and miss you all!
