Shopping With a Purpose

The Water 4 Christmas Etsy shop is now open for business! These items are all hand made. Items are selling quickly but more are being made too! What a great way to give gifts with meaning to friends and family! Hurry and take a look!

Baby Toys

While sorting, I came across a tub of Jack's baby toys that had been packed away. He has played and played with them the last few days. It has kept him very busy (which I love! ):)

A Few Pictures

I really need to make a point this week to take pictures of our house and post them. I just get busy and forget. Here are a few --- (they weren't taken intentionally to show you our house, so they really aren't very great pictures. I'll take some more soon :)


The fireplace in the family room.
The formal living room in the front of the house is my music room - it is still a work in progress.
The family room - where we seem to be spending most of our time.

Loungin'

I thought it was so cute when I saw Jack on the couch with his legs crossed while playing his games.

For Colorado Relatives

Here is Jack in his new Denver Broncos shirt. He got it for his birthday and loves it. He wants to wear it all the time:)

Catching Up Today

Today, I'm trying to catch up on some long overdue blog posts. I'm still working on unpacking, painting, and settling. I've decided that is probably going to be ongoing for about a year and I'm fine with that. We have unpacked everything we use and a lot we don't. I had resolved when we moved here to go through everything we own and get rid of what we don't need. We have gotten rid of A LOT and it feels great. We had a garage sale a couple weeks ago. I wanted to do it yet this fall and thought surely the one of the first weekends in October would still be nice enough weather for a garage sale. It was VERY cold and snowed! Today is beautiful. Oh well. We still sold a lot and made a little extra money to get some things we need for this house.

Are You Ready?

Happy Birthday, Jack!

Jack celebrated his 3rd birthday Sunday. We had fun. Jack requested a Curious George party. The last couple days he has been asking me, "Where's the Yellow Hat?" I tell him we ate it and just like in all other discussions he says, "Why?" (everything is "Why, Mama?") We had a lot of family here. I think several of us shared illnesses of some kind. Jack and I are finally feeling a little better today. Here's a couple pictures and I'll try to add more later.
