Weekend at Grammies

Well, the kids and I just got home from a weekend at my parents. Dekker is always so cute there! He is so attached to my dad -- "Pap" Everything there is Pap's -- Pap's house, Pap's car (even though my dad doesn't drive anymore). He likes to tease my mom when he says everything is "Pap's" -- it is too cute!

Andy got to take the second part of the CPA exam. I don't know how he is doing it! He is studying so much information and taking these 4 hour tests. I am so proud of him!

I finally got my hair cut -- not just trimmed. I think I got about 10 inches or so cut off -- and I feel like a new woman! I also got to do some shopping. Bought some things for the kids. I love Children's Place at the Grove CIty Outlets and their sale racks! I also was able to find some things for myself -- a bit of a rarity these days! I also got to knit a bit of Emily's Easter dress. Well, its supposed to be Emily's Easter dress, but I'm not sure if it will fit her when its done (as she is growing like a champ!) I'm sure I will get her a back-up just to be on the safe side!

I have set a goal this week of getting the dress done. I really need to get a knitting project finished as I have started and ripped out a few recently but I haven't finished anything. I am also looking for a used sewing machine. I think I am going to start sewing a few things. I bought some fabric at JoAnn's last week (on sale I might add!) and I want to start making cloth diapers and some baby blankets. We shall see when I get to actually start these projects!

All in all, it was a productive weekend. Hoping that means I will have a productive week!

Well -- being that I procrastinate in every other aspect of my life, I am guessing that's why its taken me so long to start a blog to chronicle my life and the lives of my beautiful family. I have come to the realization that I will never be able to keep a traditional journal, so this should be the next best thing being that I am on the computer quite frequently.

A little about me -- I am a 32 year old working mom with two beautiful children and a wonderful husband. Our little boy is 2 and our little girl is 5 months. My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years now and we are getting ready to enter a new phase in our lives. We have been living and working in Pittsburgh for the past 7 years, but we are now facing the realization that my grant funded nursing job is coming to an end and he is looking for a new job as well. We would like to move closer to our families which is about an hour north of Pittsburgh. This summer should be an interesting one!

As for the title of this blog -- I like to think of myself as crafty, though I seem to have a hard time finishing all of my projects in a timely fashion! I have about 5 different projects on my knitting needles, adn I just bought some fabric to start making cloth diapers. We will leave the discussion about my extensive scrapbooking supply (yet lack of scrapbooks) for another blog!

Our life is sometimes complicated, sometimes silly, sometimes boring, but always fun and it suits us well.
