Our Recently Adorable Life

This post is mostly about cute things. What can I say? A lot of cute things have been happening to us lately. For one, we got Callie about a month and a half ago. She is a joy to have around. I realize the next two pictures are almost identical but I couldn't help myself.

Believe me, I have taken oh so many pictures of this sweet girl. I'd say 90% of the pictures on my phone are of her. Woops. Am I turning into someone who talks about her cat all the time?

She is pretty much a hoot, too. She does the silliest things. She is easily transfixed by lights on the ceiling or floor. She used to arch her back and prance around like that whenever she saw her reflection. She tries to be very sneaky. This is just one video I happened to get of her being her silly self.

I also have started trying to get into crafting. I decided to make one of my nephews a baby blanket. It mostly turned out great.

Except for the edging... That's going to take some practice to get down.

 

I also stabbed (not pricked, stabbed) myself in the hand with a quilting needle while putting these ribbons in. Don't worry, I didn't get tetanus but Bryan was worried.

Here is baby Jack (my sister Natalie's new baby) modeling the mustache pacifier I made for him. Unfortunately, baby Jack lives across the country from me and I've yet to meet this sweet little thing. That pacifier seriously didn't seem this big when I saw it. He is just a tiny little guy.

Last week, Shelley had her baby as well so we drove down to Utah this past weekend to meet baby Ethan.

He was a very sweet thing as well. We got the opportunity to see him and hold him several times while we were there.

There is nothing like holding a sleeping newborn. So precious and innocent.

It was a nice weekend but, sadly, we had to leave on Sunday. Check out this gas station we stopped at near Twin Falls on the way back. There was basically no one there. I felt like it was a scene out of a movie or something.

We are just awaiting one more adorable little addition to our family! She should be arriving no later than Wednesday!
