Waiting...

     Summer vacation officially started Friday (June 17th) afternoon.  It was a long and emotional few days, so I took the weekend to rest up and relax.  Now, I am just trying to find little projects to keep me busy (yet rested) until Baby Oslin arrives!
     The house is clean and ready to go, I have finished 3 books, made some curtains, prepared a few frozen meals and have done a little bit of scrapbooking. Tomorrow I may try to tackle the many crates I brought home from my classroom.  My goal is to eventually organize everything and put them in labeled totes, so that they don't get destroyed!  But, that would also require organizing the basement, so that I have a place to store said totes...

 Curtains for the upstairs bathroom.  Not quite the color I wanted - oh well!


Curtains for the guest bedroom!

 Some scrapbooking & my classroom stuff to be organized...

37 Weeks - 40+ Weeks

I will be adding pictures over the next couple of weeks to my earlier post, so you can really see the belly growth.  So, check back to the 10 week to go post in the upcoming weeks for updates.  I meant to take pictures in the earlier weeks, but things just got too busy!

Baby Shower

     Things have been a little busy since my last post.  School is wrapping up quickly, we're trying to get the house ready for Baby Oslin's arrival, taken some classes, had some family celebrations and I've been working like crazy on some Etsy orders.
     But, about 3 weeks ago we celebrated Baby Oslin with a shower in Scarborough.  I had so much fun and it was great to visit with family/friends that I had not seen in a while.  We are truly blessed!
     After the shower - I spent a good part of Sunday washing clothes, putting things together and organizing the nursery.  I have a few things to finish up and then I will post pictures of the final product!
