32 weeks...aka 7 months! :o

The visit from my mother-in-law, Terri, was so great!! We are so thankful she was able to make a trip out here to see us and help us around the house. She did SO much!

I have owned a sewing machine for almost five years and until about 3 months ago, it was still in it's original box! I got it out and set it on a table in our office and stared at it... My mother-in-law showed me how to use it :) so now I'm very excited to start more projects! While she was here, we got started almost right away working on a bed skirt for "Harry's" crib.

Of course Toblakai had to be apart of it too... He likes to "help" with anything and everything!

We also made a valence for the window in the nursery! Super cute!


While we were hard at work, sewing ;) Daniel made us a refreshing drink. He found the recipe online. It's made with kumquats (my new favorite fruit obsession/addiction), club soda, sugar, and pink peppercorns.



"Hey! I'm here too!"


Terri also helped me with my front yard! I promise, I did not treat her as my slave while she was here ;) I asked her before she came out if she wanted to help me with it or not and she absolutely loves working in the yard (her beautiful yard is proof!) so she was more than happy to help! And so sweet to do so.
We all took a trip (or two, ha!) to Home Depot lol got the soil and flowers and got it all done in about an hour, or less! And I love love love how it turned out!! :) It isn't completely done yet but I still love it! Every time I drive up the driveway, it just looks so great! I wish I had done it sooner at this house. Because even though we are just renting, I still want to make it feel like home as much as I can. ;)




I water the pretty flowers every night :)


--I cannot wait to get my Fall decorations down from the attic!--

We also took Toblakai to the park with my mother-in-law!
And then went to Dead Fish Grill. I had a Groupon that was $30 off at lunch. Their patio allows dogs :)
I got the country fried chicken and I didn't even eat half of it...it was huge! And I was craving hush puppies...
The restaurant has a great view of the lake! And the lake has turtles - my mother-in-law's favorite ;)

Best moment this week?: Having my Mother-in-law here!! She was a great comfort and encouragement during this mourning time of the loss of my Grampa. She helped so much around the house! We worked on the nursery and the yard. And we took her around parts of town we wanted to show her. We hope she enjoyed her visit as much as we enjoyed having her here!
