Day 11: Glittery

Anyone been in the store Justice?  There is more glitter in that store than a Mardi Gras ball.  My little cousin Allyson is in love with Justice and anything girly.  This is the scarf I purchased for her and of course it matches a cute little tunic perfectly :) Boy am I in for it when Anna Katherine gets that age.... not sure how excited I am about that!!

Day 10: Nature

This picture makes my little plant look kind of pitiful but it's really not.  It has just survived a traumatic journey of being repotted.  I actually have two of these, one in the kitchen and one in the den.  They are both from my brother's funeral and I'm so proud to have kept them alive this long.  They have gotten so huge and full that Tommy decided he needed to put them in new planters this past weekend.  If they continue to grow I think I may have to split them into 4 plants.  Anyone need a pretty green plant that's super easy to take care of??  It's amazing how resilient these have been.  After vacations they look like there is no possible way the will come back to life but they always do :)

Baby Showers!

Note the tiara and princess chair that Svea got together for me, I love that she loves parties as much as I do!

The wonderful group of friends that put it all together!!

Shower in Monroeville at Mrs Dawn's

Aunt Lisa made a cute door hanger for the hospital, we just have to fill it in once AK is here!

Granny girl made me this pretty teddy bear afghan, she's been working on it since Tommy and I got engaged :)

A little something for Gran, too!

My favorite church ladies from Monroeville!



Day 9: Interview

Slowly but surely - I'll post a picture but the video is the actual interview.  She and I have a conversation every afternoon about her day and why she won't eat her food etc.  I love my Aspen! :)  She's my first baby.

This is the first video we have taken with our new camera and my first video post.  Let me know if it isn't working.

Also, I haven't forgotten about baby shower pictures.  I have to get some from my mom because she took them with her camera and things are just getting busy!  I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure I will not finish this photo challenge but I'll see what I can do.  I haven't even been catching up on my blog reading and don't mention time for pinterest, that hasn't happened in a long time!

Nursery

The nursery is starting to come together. I promised pics a little while ago so here are a few. 

these are the million pieces the changing table and crib started out as

final product with the bedding :)

and the mobile

i'll add more pics of the entire nursery once i get it all together!  it looks like we could welcome anna katherine at anytime if we just had to (but i don't want to until january!!)

Day 8: Newspaper

told you this photo challenge would take a bit more time than the last one...

see the newspaper?  it's what we use to help get our fires started.  yay for the first fire of the year :)

Day 7: Scattered

This week our house has been an absolute war zone.  We got our new countertops put in on Friday but that meant in the mean time we had to demo our backsplash, existing countertops and remove everything from the cabinets.  A small clutter doesn't bother me at all but this was more than I could handle.  We had kitchen stuff everywhere!  This isn't really something I wanted to take a picture of but it fit perfectly with scattered. 

Here's what the new countertops look like :)  So exciting!  Now, I've got to pick out a new backsplash and we'll hopefully be done.

Check out the new sink... yay, I finally have a garbage disposal!!
