Update

It's been a busy couple of weeks...namely because I've been preparing for this past weekend's yardsale. My friend Lisa invited me to join her at their neighborhood sale on Saturday and I think everybody and their mother was there!

After hauling all of our stuff to East Earl at 5:30am I told her if I made a hundred bucks I'd be satisfied. It was NOT EASY getting everything ready with two different nap schedules (er, should I say "nap free-for-all's"), but once it was all priced the hard part was over. But, by 8am I had made at least that and till it was all said and done my total had almost doubled! I was a happy camper.

What is left will be put out for attempt "numero dos" in two weeks. This time I won't be leaving my yard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

As if that weren't enough to fill my week, this past Friday night I hosted a Tupperware Party. We had fun and I was happy to add a few more storage pieces to my pantry. I love organizing, especially closets! (Just ask my mom about that. HA HA)

Adam is shoving everything into his mouth these days and is starting to reach for things with precision. I made some new super absorbant bibs for him recently out of a thick bath towel, some binding ribbon, and jumbo snaps. They are a constant fixture on him now since he drools so much.




I promise, I DO feed him! Constantly it seems...though I am happy to report that he slept through the night nearly this entire past week! I won't count on it being a sure thing, but will certainly enjoy it while it lasts. :o)
And Natalia is asking to hold Adam more and more lately. Here she is in all her big sister glory...

I love seeing your kids together. Natalia looks like a very proud big sister. Congrats on the yard sale results. I've never attempted one!

I may need to see a picture of just the bib with instructions on how you made it! Glad the YS went well. I miss yard sales. They don't have them around here. They do have organized car boot sales where you sell stuff out of your trunk.

Oh, I know the need for bibs. I was excited to find some hidden in a box...I bet we have 20-30 bibs...We only bought a 4 or 5 pack after Evan was born. The rest were Meghan's or hand-me-downs.

Meghan doesn't desire to hold Meghan. Oh well.

We went to a community yard sale this weekend. I'm not ready to host one for a few more years...I suspect there will be more child/ren and don't dare get rid of stuff, though we gave away lots of household stuff when we moved.

Cute pictures!
