nesting. nesting hard!

down with the fall decor
up with the Christmas
freezer meals
dozens of cookies baked and frozen
Aleta's apron sewn
Davey's bag
Abby's jean skirt
Sophia's dress altered
Christmas gifts wrapped
Titus' quilt done:
curtains for a neighbor in progress:
my best friend, shop van, and I are making the rounds in each room (fans, filters, registers, baseboards, windows, walls...):
bad pic of a profile project i started long ago... scrapping this idea for now- NO TIME- not too happy w the outcome either... :
oh yeah... decided 2 nights ago i should make a quilt for this baby! yikes... hope i finish:
decoupaged clothes pins to hang anthropology tea towel above kitchen sink:
hmmm.... what else can I do? I'm sure I'll come up with something! I don't remember ever having this much energy with the other pregnancies. However, this is the only time that we're not actually in the middle of a move! We moved the month before I had Jonas. We moved 2 months after I had Ella, and we bought a house the week after Kate was born and worked on it almost daily until we moved in a month later.

those precious tiny feet

meeting a new sister

becoming mommy of THREE

fascination with baby

teeny tiny new one and how your toddler grows up overnight

little secrets and cute conversations

holding

cuddling

sharing

discovering

arms full

kisses

and more kisses


being amazed every time

memorizing

learning to share mommy

and sharing some more

special times

learning to be gentle

sweet bonds

precious first smiles

developing love and forever friends

enjoying God's good and perfect gifts for however long He wills
