Getting Crafty

Adjusting to motherhood has been an adventure! I always thought of myself as a natural at being a mother, even though there have been many prayers and tears in my journey thus far. Staying at home was a different adjustment and I didn't know if I was cut out for the housewife thing. There are so many things I am not a natural at and neither was my mom. I have had to actually learn new things and practice, which that is something I do love...learning new things. I love to bake, but am learning new things to cook. I love making things like tutus, bows, and other crafts for the house and Sophia! What I am still working on is how to scout out deals for groceries, etc. and manage a budget ( now that we are a one income household). I love to organize, but really don't know where to start! Sophia takes 1 hour naps max, so I don't have a lot of free time. I know with practice and time my capacity will increase, so for now I will admire those of yall who have been at this for a while!

Family Outing

On Saturday we went to my favorite restaraunt Joe T's and then to the botanical gardens! Sophia loved being outside, I think she'll be a naturalist. There are also some other random pics of Sophia in her bumbo watching baby einstien and her chewing on her wedge (i guess it doesn't work for a strong wiggly worms!).

Halloween 2008

Halloween Fun

What a crazy week! Sophia and I have been on the run! We went to visit my friend and her brand new baby, went to the physical therapist, and went to visit everyone where I used to teach. She was so adorable in the Halloween tutu Nicole made for her. We made caramel apples, yummy sugar cookies with delectable frosting, and yummy soup and paninis. My dad (now called Grandad) and his sweetheart Kelly came over for Halloween goodies and pictures. Sophia was a spider! By the time we got her in her costume she was ready for bed! Today we are off to Joe T's, my fav restaurant ever, and then to the botanical gardens. I am determined to post more often. Oh, on Friday of last week Sophia rolled over from her belly to her back! Every time I lay her on her belly for tummy time she ends up on her back. The little turkey!!!!!!!!!!!
