Teeth!

Due to a very cranky toddler and a husband that has had a very nice amount of time off lately, i have been neglecting this blog.

i will be posting a year in review this week, i am going to work hard to make it happen.

i will also be starting to write even just a tiny post every day on what our family is up to, even if you dont care at all.

lots of love!

danielle, zoey and bean!

losing days

i've been having a hard time keeping up with life lately. i hear thats normal when pregnant while taking care of a 1 year old.

i'm starting to get those panicky nesting urges but its still too far out to do anything i really want to do. like wash all the baby clothes and teeny tiny diapers. i'll just have to wash them all again if i do it now. maybe i'll sort everything and that will help the itch.

please give me easy recipies i can make and freeze before the new baby comes, i'm freaking a little about food ideas.

i am once again going to re do part of the house. i hate our living room right now. it's our office right now and i want it to be more cozy and living room like. we are going to take the desks out and get a hide away desk for me to put in my corner and maybe a collapsable drafting table for craig incase he wants to take a painting home. also, super exciting we have decided on a couch! revolutionary!

so now i need to find a way to get lots and lots of money so i can make all these dreams come true. anyone want to make a donation?

lots of projects i want to start but i just stall out, i have no energy for anything other than survival right now, super dissapointing to me right now. i have two soakers for the new baby that need to be finished that just sit at my desk staring angry at me and all i can do is try to avoid them all day, every day. not to mention the sewing binder and knitting binder that havent been opened in months. months! i hate it!

ugh... someday.

here's some pictures, use your imagination for what happend.

SOOOO TIRED.

have i named a title that yet? because that is how i have felt the last few weeks.

like i can barely keep my eyes open.

sorry about not blogging, i have been trying to cut down my internet time and i have been neglecting a few things on here. i need to prioritize.

i will try to get pictures up from the party over the next few days, it was fun and hilarious and i love my friends and family.

speaking of family, a bunch came over last night, for food and catching up. it was wonderful to have so many of my favorite people in my house, i felt so grown up! even though i had to break out the folding chairs to accommodate everyone!

so my next goal is pictures, one step at a time

lots of love

now lets just hope it doesnt rain.

photos

ok,

i finally got this stupid site to upload my photos

after some serious threats.

here are pictures of zoey's toy room, it actually already looks a bit different,

we put a tv up in the corner and she has some more toys in there now

but you get the idea

we have been spending lots of time at the park with dirty faces

look how cute and innocent, aww....

she couldnt possibly ever cause mommy headaches or trouble!

oh wait, i forgot who we were talking about.

oh yeah,

she tried raspberries,

she wanted everyone to know

they suck.

but she still ate the whole container.

Finally, HUMAN AGAIN!

ok, well, i have pictures to post, but blogger wont let me.

poo.

it figures as soon as i actually get my act together, the site wont cooperate.

oh well,

so i will give a little review of what we have been up to the last month and something that i have been neglectful of this blog.

i am now 13 weeks pregnant, feeling MUCH better, MUCH more human and MUCH more productive.

my belly is pretty obvious, i cant believe how BIG i have already gotten, yes there is only one in there, i saw it, there is proof. STOP ASKING.

Zoey has really taken off, she is running now, holding her own on the playground, attempting to climb (unsuccessfully, but really really darn cute) and has started this excited yelling and shreiking thing to get peoples attention, yeah, it works!

she has her own play room now, complete with flat panel LCD tv which used to live in the bedroom, she also has her own dvd racks that have some real dvds and a lot of empty cases so she can pull them down (they are her favorite toy)

still no teeth, yes my little toothless toddler is doing fine without them, she eats everything now. even steak and chicken. so ha.

still going strong on the breastfeeding, my supply has gone back up again and i am hoping that it stays that way, hoping.

i am making zoey's birthday invites this week, hope to have them out by friday, i'm already running a week late, i hope it doesnt end up hurting the party.

i'm going to be having her party a week after her real birthday, the day before halloween just seems to hectic right now, and we are going to go to san jose for a convention that weekend, so it would have been bad anyway.

we debated on whether we should move the shop to a different location this month, somewhere that was easier to maintain and had lower overhead, but decided that this spot is good for now, and if we dont get more artists working in there by the new year we will re-assess.

craig set up his work area in the living room different this last month too, he got a flat desk and shortened his drafting table so now he has a real computer area and all that jazz.

anyway, hopefully i can get the picture issue resolved by tomorrow and i will make a new post with lots of cute photos of zoey.

lots of love

danielle zoey and bean!
