A random feature

As I was checking over my shop stats the other day, I came across a new referral site, lovelyish.com and decided to check it out. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this gem of a post, "5 Etsy items on which someone thought to stick Tupac." All I could do was laugh, in a good way. All press is good press, I guess.

Life in Photos: an update

I have no excuses my friends. I've been around, just living the day to day.

Here's what it looked like:

I've been writing over here a lot!
We celebrated Thanksgiving with my parents and lots of good food. I even spent the afternoon whipping up this stuffing (at T's request) and everyone actually liked it

Showered one of my best friends as she is expecting as well (we're due about a month apart)

We finally got a bit of work done at the new place, months later

Bird had her first peanut butter and jelly sandwich, yea for no peanut allergies

We took a trip to the science center, c/o free passes from our local library

Having business meetings with myself about what is in store for G + T in year 2
I've been growing this little man and can't wait to see him in a couple months

Winter weather is here, but we're still getting out to have some fun

Things I'm loving

On this rainy gray day, my mind has wandered to a few different things I've been loving lately:

kisses from my baby girl
hot cocoa as the days get a bit colder
when my mister gets home from work early due to inclement weather
cuddling up in blankets as the rain falls
the dance moves baby boy is perfecting in my tum
celebrating 4 years of marriage with the One
things that are just falling into place

enjoy your Wednesday!

Drum roll...

I can't believe I waited a whole week to post this, but on Monday we found out that our ever anticipated second child is a...

BOY!

I won't shame him already by posting the proof of his little bits on the web, but he is indeed a HE and we are ready for the adventure of raising a son in addition to our beautiful little girl.

Going into the ultrasound appointment, I was really nervous and a little scared (I don't know why!) and after the tech told us, I shed a tear of disbelief and happiness and continued to say "We're having a boy!" for the rest of the week at random intervals of time.

Now any recommendations for "boy" clothes, toys, etc. can be sent my way immediately. I can't wait!

10 Year Reunion

This past Saturday I attended my 10 year high school reunion. I will say that I'm glad that I went, because for a while I didn't think I wanted to go, and then with being sick I didn't think I would be able to go. It was nice to see folks in person that I really haven't seen in 10 years and a few that I have seen more recently and catch up for a night. So many updates, from weddings to babies to new degrees and jobs.

I even managed to make it in a picture or two.

I can now cross that one off the list.
