Am I Nesting?

I've often heard the term "nesting" when it comes to pregnant women. My understanding is that it's the desire to settle in at home in order to get ready for the baby that will arrive and change your life forever. So...I guess I'm nesting. I took a sewing class a few months back with a friend and now I have a long list of things I'm planning to make for the nursery. Didn't know I was the sewing type? Well, I'm not, or at least I didn't used to be, but I have this strong instinct to make stuff and maybe it's a pull to be more like my grandmother, who was a wonderful seamstress. I completed my first project last night - valances for the nursery made out of a vintage fabric that I picked up at an antique store. I'm leaning towards a "vintage-style" nursery with lots of fun colors - red, apple green, turquoise and brown. My future sewing projects include a crib skirt and mobile...wish me luck!

Awesome Lindsay!! I made Savanna's whole crib set complete with the sheer white canopy that hung from the ceiling. I used all white eyelet fabric, and she had dark burgandy walls with white and silver star stencils. It was really cute! I love the satisfaction of knowing "I did that!" and you can make it exactly how you want it, no just settle for what you can find. Go Lindsay, good luck! Post pics when you are done!

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
