Something New and Something Blue

You may or may not have known this was coming, but the baby who is not here yet now has his own blog. Take a look, although, there are no posts, yet. This blog will be for the baby so I can chronicle everything that happens and will probably have way more information than anyone other than the grandmothers will ever want to read!
This blog will remain as our family blog, although posting (especially in the first few months) will not be as frequent as it has been in the past. I will not be sharing all the baby's information on this non-private blog, but rest assured that the baby will be a regular visitor!

Handmade Projects

I did a lot of project making for Christmas, and I have a post waiting in the queue to show off all the projects I made, but they haven't all been delivered to the recipients! Instead, enjoy some pictures of other projects I have made over the past couple of years.

And this is what I am working on now. It is an Advent calendar with a gagillion pieces!

Happy New Year!

How did we spend our last New Year's Eve sans child? Breakfast and then a random shopping trip to Crate and Barrel and The Container Store. Nicholas got a flat tire on the way home from his parents house and this encountered issues with changing it. By the time everything was worked out, we decided to just stay in and watch TV all night. Happy New Years!
We did enjoy a lovely Texas New Years brunch at our friends the Robertson's house on New Years Day. I call it a Texas brunch because only in Texas do you pair blueberry waffles with ribs and sausage. Yum! Since the Robertson's don't live anywhere near us, but do live just down the street from IKEA, we had to stop in at our favorite Swedish superstore to pick up some stuff for the baby's room.
I hope you are enjoying 2011!
