Inauguration...

Little Paul had a pediatrician appointment this morning.  He's up to 10 lbs, 4 oz which puts him in the 16th percentile (he was in the 5th at birth so yay for us!)...  We're supposed to start teaching him to sleep through the night (which I'm totally ready for) in his own bedroom (which I'm totally NOT ready for...).  He also had 2 different shots and has been pretty fussy all afternoon so we won't be attempting the "sleep all night" trick (i.e. let him cry it out for 15 minutes) until Friday night...

We made it home just in time to see Obama take his oath and hear his speech which was great.  My youngest brother is in DC for the events and I'm sure it must be a phenomenal experience.  The excitement of the crowd must be just amazing in person!  I try not to put my politics into my blog but I have to say that I'm pretty thrilled by the fact that LP came into the world at such an exciting time.  

Through one of the many blogs I read I came across this fun website where you can "Obamicon" a photo of yourself... So in the spirit of the day I'd like to share my version:




Too fun!

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

A Bit of Sewing….

I’ve been on a sewing kick lately- made a few things for Eliza that I thought I’d share (of course, I also have a list about a mile long of things I really need to get working on for Christmas, but bumped them all to make these little, totally not needed but too cute to resist, pieces…). First up is another Geranium Dress from the pattern by Made by Rae .  The pattern is for a sleeveless dress or one with cap sleeves but I really wanted long sleeves so I drafted my own and they worked out perfectly!  The fabric is a super soft baby corduroy.  I made a mistake and sewed the skirt on the wrong way- instead of picking it all apart though I decided to just cover my seam (which should have been on the inside- whoops, distracted!) with a  fabric band.  I used the same fabric for the lining in the bodice. On the patch pockets I stitched Eliza’s name- it says “Eliza” on one pocket and “Rose” on the other.. I wish I’d used the polkadot pattern for the pockets as I thi...

10 on 10: August

Here's August's 10 on 10!  It was a quiet day at home with just a trip to the playground to shake things up!  Thought I'd try something new by adding captions to each photo- what do you think?  For some reason they look a little blurry to  me- will have to figure that out for next time! Now head on over to Kate Suzanne Photography in Asheville for her 10 on 10!
