Visitors!

I am very Excited for the next couple weeks!

Both my sisters are coming for a weekend. My youngest sister has not been here before. Im very excited to show off this place to her. I very much enjoy living in this small town.

My sisters leave either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

Daves parents then arrive Tuesday evening for a week. They should be good and excited to see Zeke (I mean all of us!) again
Daves Parents will be leaving on Tuesday morning.

I will then be heading to Charlotte to pick up my friend! She also hasnt been here before.

I AM soo excited for all the company (not sure Dave is)

sorry that this post seems a bit sparse but Im getting ready for bed!

night!

Andrea's Quilt update

So I got some quilting done on this rainy day while Zeke took a nap! It's exciting to get something done thats not cleaning (and boy that needs to be done!) or removing wallpaper!

Here is her quilt top:





Quilt back:






I'm not sure this is big enough for a twin since I do not have a twin bed in the house. (shown on a queen size) I was making a couch quilt that just got a bit too long- oh well Andrea loves to be wrapped up


Its all ready to be quilted- I was going to go to a local quilt shop and learn how to use a long arm quilter for this quilt :)

Look ma!

So I have been noticing a few things that Zeke does lately.

First off he likes to sit with his feet crossed. This amused me at first because I thought he just wiggled into that position. After watching him a few times I realized that he purposely gets into that position(which still amuses me)

isn't it cute:



Zeke has also become adept at finding his pacifier and putting it back in his mouth. Often times I will hide it among a bunch of toys in his crib and a few minutes later I will look at him playing and see that he has it in his mouth~ self soothing!

(I thought I had a Picture of this- but I cannot find it!)

Zeke has learned about the light pull on the fan. He learned this a while back but i didn't realize how much fun he had with it until Dave was gone. I couldn't hold him up high enough to play with it but every time we went past it he would smile and get excited.






Zeke also has learned that he can pull himself up.He cant get to his feet yet but in these two pictures you can see how he got himself to his knees.




My little boy is getting mobile! uh oh!



oh- and he is cutting his third tooth!

Andreas quilt

I had grand plans for Andrea's quilt but also wanted a simple, fun, quick quilt so I could learn how to use the long arm quilting machine at a local quilt shop (Nana's in Hudson)

Here it is all laid out:





next up- sewing!

(when i can get some time! lol)

Enjoy Andrea

Daves Blog

So Dave has joined me in my quest to keep up a blog by restarting his.

enjoy!

not peachy keen

So I tried Zeke with peaches today: this is the reaction I got.

It is the same reaction for bananas too!






Also today I left Zeke on the floor here:


and came back about 5 minutes later to find him here:




Im going to have my hands full soon!

Dave's Home!

I picked up Dave at the airport this morning.

Since we were in Charlotte and only 10 minutes from Ikea. Guess where we went? 3 times in 7 days! not too shabby!










Do you think the dogs missed him?
