Family Update

Life has been so stinkin' crazy these past few months and I really miss blogging. And reading everyone else's blogs. My bloglines update tells me I have over 600 "new" blogs to catch up on! Sheesh!

I'm praying for a quieter, calmer 2009 for our family. No moves. No babies. No job changes. I'm up for busy. And, at the end of the day, I'm still up for whatever God has in store ... but a girl can pray fervently, can't she?

I am thankful for the changes that 2008 brought. Although stressful, having a new baby, moving back home and Ed loving his new job are more than worth it!

Speaking of new babes ... Mr. Jace ... AKA bubbs, bubbsarooni, bubby, "tiny," (my mom's fave), poop king (sorry for sharing that one!) ... is growing like a little weed! Can't keep that stinker in clothes that fit! He's 6 months old and I'm happy to report he's FINALLY sleeping through the night. He's still not a good napper, but I can deal with naps when I can sleep at night! Clearly, he missed the section of the manual on 4th babies being good sleepers! He's sitting up and is a pretty happy little guy. He's a big-time momma's boy. Lucky for him I know how quickly that ends, so I'm enjoying every minute of it (mostly, anyway!). He LOOOOOVES Jakey. He loves the girls, too, but Jakey is the clear favorite.

On the house front, we are closing on Monday ... My Birthday! Happy Birthday to ME!! We did our walk through yesterday and all is good. We had the kitchen repainted because Ed said he couldn't deal with PINK! I tried to tell him it was more of a 'salmon' color, but he wasn't buying it! We had it painted a light turquoise ... very pretty and will go with our kitchen decor really well! We are moving on the 29th! Can't wait. I'll be sending our new address out with our Christmas cards (yes, I know, its cutting it close ... just be glad they're going out!) I didn't get to make them this year. Bummer.

But, I have been making other stuff. Hair bows, mainly! I'd forgotten what a big deal hair bows (the bigger the better!) are in Texas! They are so stinkin' expensive to buy, so I decided to try my hand at making them! And, ribbon headbands! SO cute!

I think that's about it. For now.

Are you selling the hair bows?? I love them too, but don't have the creativity to make them myself, so bring them on over at our Christmas and set up a little store!!!
