Lunch date.

The little one and I headed to Eugene's school to meet him for lunch today. Judging by his face, I'd say it was his wondrous thing. {Seeing his smile was my wondrous thing.}

Springy tissue paper flowers.

We had a few really dreary, cold, grey days last week, so I decided to add some faux Spring to my life.

I pinned this tutorial for tissue paper flowers, and this picture is really what I used…

I made my flowers quite a bit smaller than “Rust & Sunshine’s” version, and I made some pink dahlias and roses and white daises.

They turned out pretty cute…

I thought they’d be a cheery compliment to my glass knobs and vases

Glittified.

I found a crate of light pink vases at Ikea a couple weekends ago, and the vases were marked $0.25. I couldn’t just walk by 25 cent vases; it’d be irresponsible! ;)

So I took ‘em home and glittified ‘em for Valentine’s Day…

And here’s the super easy process; it involves double sided tape and glitter…

IMG_4036

Yes, it’s as easy as it looks…

One row down…

And three rows…

The glitter isn’t permanent, and there’s so many different options with it. So fun!

I may or may not have gone overboard with project glittify: Ikea vanilla candle with double sided tape and gold glitter…

IMG_4057

I’ll share my tissue paper flower project next. Oh, and that gold candle below is my attempt at mercury glass-ish vase {post here} from a couple years ago.

Are you feelin’ the love {of glitter}? ;)

Growing.

Someone's hair is {barely} long enough to fit in a clip now! Her smile makes my heart so happy. :)

Baby Brynn.

I had the privilege of taking pictures of this 14 day beauty this weekend…

IMG_3823b-horz

She’s a tiny thing, but super cute and full of life! She was wide awake all but maybe 2 minutes of the session…

IMG_3853c

I met Brynn’s parents in college; my how our lives have changed. Now they’re first time parents and so in love with their new little girl…

I love how she clung to her daddy in this picture…

And {just cause I love it}, I had to include a pic of Brynn’s nursery. How lovely is this! And her mom recovered the glider on her own! {Wow!}

IMG_4019b

I hope Brynn’s parents enjoy the pictures. To be honest, I always get so nervous when I take photos for people. I’m not a professional, nor do I ever claim to be; I never know if people will like their pictures. I really hope they’re pleased! {With such an adorable subject, how can you go wrong!} :)

My TV debut.

I had to do a 3 minute TV interview for work this week. I was a Communication major in college, so I am comfortable speaking publically; however, I was not looking forward to being on TV. Raido – sure, TV – that’s a different story.

IMG_1070

I’m happy to say I made it out of the studio alive. I didn’t fumble my words too much, and other than slouching {a constant struggle for me}, I think I did okay. :)

Here’s a screen shot of the video. {No, I won’t post the video. Yuck.}

I’m just glad it’s over. {Whew!}

Seven months.

The little one is now seven months old. She’s changing extraordinarily each week. This month we made it through her first long sickness – yuck! She’s showing some spunk – yelling aggressively at her toys {mainly the volleyball}, and she pulls my hair like it’s her job! She’s showing some serious stranger anxiety; she hasn’t made it through the church nursery in probably four weeks without me being paged to come get her. Despite her fussiness there, she really is still my happy & chill baby that she’s always been. She’s smart and active, not a great napper, but a fantastic hugger.

seven months

Oh, and she said her first word: “Mama.” Well, mainly she cries “Mama” rather than saying it, but still, I think that counts!

IMG_3635b

She knows her name well, and laughs like crazy at her cousin {typical} or when mommy or daddy pretend they’re going to get her.

IMG_3642b

She is oh so inquisitive lately…

IMG_3647b

…and sweet {as always.}

IMG_3631b

She chews on everything despite the fact that she still has zero teeth in yet {although the amount of drool she’s had over the last 3 months would make you assume otherwise.} She especially likes to chew on the zippers to her coats…

Each day I love her deeper. Makes me appreciate how much God must love us, His children. It’s truly too great for me to comprehend. If I can love this little being whom I didn’t even really create, oh how much more must He must love us.
