Homeowner. . . New Mom. . .

Two Naps + One Shovel + One wheelbarrow =

a ton of rocks moved by yours truely and money saved on a gym membership to lose the baby weight. Gotta love yard work.

Tomorrw the ring of fire will be on the chopping block.

O. . . almost forgot to mention Brad's manuel labor. . . just one more hole to dig before the new windows arrive.

Great Grandma

Great Grandma has been doing some serious arm workouts since she got here. I think when she leaves she will have biceps like a muscle builder. She just keeps carring this 8lb 14 oz cutie around.

Bubbles

Noelle got her first bath last night. She loved it.

Well, Hello Belly Button

It took almost 4 weeks, but she finally decided on an innie.

Just for all you OU fans. . . don't worry she now has a flower/bow that matches so she doesn't look so much like a boy.

Quilt

I started this quilt in mid Sep with a group of girls from church. We had a great teacher/leader, Beth, who taught us all how to make a quilt. It's my first one and I love it. I actually made two of them one for Noelle and one for my cousins little baby who has yet to arrive. The fabic with the little animals I found at my Grandma Betty's house. We are not sure what grandma was going to use this fabric for, but I think it looks great in a baby quilt. I finished it right before Noelle was born. Would have had it done earlier, but moving at 9 months prego kinda takes over . . . we still are not completely settled in. . . just a few deco things to figure out.

Growin so fast.

I love that we got these pics. The first is from the day we brought her home. The second is at two weeks. . . I can't belive how much she has grown. She almost didn't fit in this outfit.

Noelle is Here!

Most of you have seen these photos, but I thought I would start out with these as our first blog about her.
