What a busy weekend!

Brian's father and step-mom (Bob and Melissa) came up to visit from Atlanta this weekend. We have been moving non-stop!

Bob insisted on taking Lacey on her first trip to the zoo even though it was pouring rain! Here we are in the Rainforest exhibit.

12 weeks and making progress!

Lacey is just about 12 weeks and we are FINALLY making progress on the sleeping. This past week on three separate occasions she slept from 9pm-5am. This leaves me excited and feeling fabulous! The best part is - at 5am when she did wake up, she went right back to sleep for another 1-2 hours after eating.

Keep up the great work baby girl!

Making Pickles, Father's Day and my Diaper Diva!

I've been meaning to post about the above topics for some time now, however my "awake" and "available" time is pretty much spent obsessing over Brian and Lacey. So, back to "Making Pickles, Father's Day and my Diaper Diva!"

Making Pickles

One of my new interests is food preservation. Odd yes, but also very useful! My mom found me a canner at the Goodwill for $3 so Brian and I tested it out by making pickles.

To be exact, we made 120 pickles. Did you know that pickling is actually quite a process? It involves slicing cucumbers, boiling them, mixing in the "pickle stuff" and then canning. We have yet to try them (I am insisting we wait a few weeks for a good BBQ) but they look yummy!

I can't wait for the local veggies to start ripening so we can do some summer salsa and peach butter! Yummm...

Here are the cucumbers cut up and ready to go!

Canning/boiling

Father's Day

Brian was certainly a lucky Daddy this year! Lacey made him a coffee mug / thermos with her photos on it and he received a Saz-all (I have no idea how to spell that!) Here is a photo of Brian, Lacey and his Grandpa. (Lacey was not very happy - she was tired and cranky and didn't feel like photos...)

My Diaper Diva

FINALLY I have finished this diaper! Thanks to a rainy day at the cottage, Lacey's hot pink "Diaper Diva" diaper is finished! Now how cute is that fluffy bum???

Also - can someone who uses Blogger please tell me why my photos are all cut off on the right?

Goofy girl!

The best thing about being back at work is getting cute little media messages to my cell phone from Lacey... All I can think about all day is coming home and kissing her cute little cheeks!

Welcome & Updates!

Welcome to my new blog!

I switched sites since I am no longer using my business website/email and want to save the $10/month and time it requires me to maintain the website. With Blogger, I virtually have no maintenance so it's much easier!

I've been quite because things have been busy!!! Last week I went back to work and Lacey's wonderful sleeping habits and "schedule" went completely out the window. Nevertheless, I was exhausted!

This week is going MUCH better. We are starting to get back into the swing of things! It still is quite an adjustments for all of us... me working again, Brian watching Lacey all day and Lacey being with Daddy!
