Going to the dark side

So the past few months I've been giving in to my ever darkening roots and traded in my super blond for copper. I think I'm getting used to it. I do like the way it matches my freckles. What do you think?

Catching up

I apologize for my lack of blogging. To catch everyone up, My due date is Dec. 28th. This last week I had to go to the hospital twice to stop labor. The doctor said next time it happens they will just deliver the baby, so now I'm on bed rest with tons of time to catch up on blogging. I'm really trying to keep this baby in for at least a couple more weeks and Micah is really trying to avoid the uncomfortable hospital chairs so he's been super man, dad, husband all at once. Sadie is still not walking so Micah has been able to stay home to be with her most days. My friends have wanted to see my pregnant belly so here it is. As for the full body shot, get real people, I just went threw partial labor twice and I look like death! And now I will continue to journal all my October events here at the end of Nov. Oh well:)

sweet spoons

I love sweet little things like this! My inlaws got me these lovely measuring spoons for my birthday! They're from my favorite store, anthropologie.

The Birthday Card

You know how kids will like the box that there toy came in more than the toy? Well in this case my parents got Sadie a card that played "The Hamster Dance" when you open it and at the time she completely forgot about any birthday presents. (Don't forget to turn off my side music player before pressing play).

Sadie's 2nd Birthday

We had a fabulous Charlie and Lola party for Sadie! She had so much fun! My friend made these super cute Charlie and Lola cakes (the small one gluten free for Sadie's special diet). Sadie truly enjoyed opening her presents. She seemed to relish in each one. It was so fun to watch her. At my in laws she received numerous Charlie and Lola dolls, hand bells (Micah's favorite) and many other fun presents. Micah and I decided to get her a trampoline to help loosen up her legs, plus she loves jumping! She enjoys taking a Lola doll and jumping to music. It's so very cute!

The Dairy

My apologies for not blogging for quite sometime. We have been so completely busy, so I have much to catch up on. On this particular day we went to a little dairy farm with some friends. Sadie really enjoyed all the animals. It made me think of when I was younger and would go visit my grandparents farm every year in Oregon. As soon as I attempted to set Sadie in the hay I took in that grassy, earthy smell and all those wonderful memories came to me. The excitement of feeding the chickens their corn, baby kittens in the hay barn, baby cows Grandpa John would name after us. I wish I could make these kind of memories for Sadie. Some how I don't see Micah and I as the rancher type though. (Sigh) Oh well.
