All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

And this little boy is gonna get his Christmas wish. His top two teeth just broke through this week. He has started making a funny little gummy smile. It's pretty cute. By Christmas he should be showing off two new little teeth.

A fun week

Last week my sister, Alyson, and her little boy, Marcus, came to visit. We had a fun time together. We finally planted my bulbs out front--thirty five daffodils and fifty tulips. Can't wait until spring! My front yard is going to be beautiful! We also had fun watching the little boys play together. McKay usually followed Marcus around because Marcus is a little older and a little faster.

Sometimes it bothered Marcus that someone was always in his space.

Other times, they had a good time together.

All in all, we had a fun few days together and enjoyed some relaxing. Hopefully the little boys will be good friends as they grow up.

Summer Project: Finished!

This summer I took on a lengthy sewing project and finally finished the last stitches yesterday. Also, that completes McKay's bedroom with the painting and decor (minus anything on the walls).

Although it took a long time, it was worth it to make McKay's room look exactly the way I wanted it to. Our next child probably won't be as lucky. . . .

Happy Halloween!

Autumn package

This fall I had fun making little autumn packages for a few friends. I put together some cupcake papers, sprinkles, two little sheets of stickers, and a little box of candy corn.

It was such a fun project to put together. I put it all inside of a frozen juice can and wrapped it in candy-corn-painted paper.

Too cute

Pictures of the day. Too cute to choose one.

I love autumn!

This is just one of the many amazing trees I've seen around lately. Best season, best month of the year. Life couldn't be any better!
