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!

Manzanita and more...

Since my last post, a lot has happened in our household.  We took our first camping trip of the year to Silver Falls State Park and survived!  Cora even got to try smores for the first time.   Edie turned 1 on June 4th and just a few weeks before took her first ambulance rider to the ER due to an infection - ugh!  She's fine now...thankfully. We figure it's our first of many trips to the ER with two very busy little girls.  (On a side note, Cora thought riding in the ambulance was really fun!) I came down with a ridiculous case of Poison Oak that was awful for about three weeks and continues to haunt me.  It seems I'm quite allergic!  Thankfully, no one else got it.  Dave drove himself to the ER in the middle of the night for an emergency appendicectomy that ended up being (and still is) more complicated than normal because of the scar tissue left in his stomach from the car accident.  That was a few weeks ago and his...
