Phew....

Is it just me or are the days just flying by??  Our summer is so jam-packed full of events that I'm not sure we'll even have time to breathe!

Here's what our upcoming weekends look like: 

June 21- Father's Day
June 27- two First Birthday parties and one adult Birthday party to attend
July 3-4- Visit from little brother and his girlfriend
July 4- Fourth of July
July 7-8- Hopeful visit from college friend
July 9-12 or thereabouts- LP and I go to PA to visit my parents.
July 18- baby shower to attend
July 20- Paul's birthday
August 3-11- My summer Seminar at work, means 12 hour days with just Sunday off for me.. ick.
August 8- Brother's birthday
August 14-17 or thereabouts- Trip to Cooperstown, NY with my family...

Throw in our regular work days and some Friday playgroups and we are all booked up!  Craziness!  You can expect lots of photos but maybe not a lot of actual blogging- we'll see!

Not too much else is going on.  LP is seven months (!!!) tomorrow so later this week I'll try to post his month 7 photos (once I've taken them) and my list of things to remember about month 7... Tomorrow AM we head to the pediatrician for his "weight check" appointment.  I'm not terribly worried- he's a healthy little guy which is really all that matters!  And really, look at those pudgy little cheeks!!

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!

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!

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...
