New Blog

Hi there family and friends,

This will be my last post from this particular site.  I will now be posting from emily.lafferty6.com

The Easter Bunny got me an iPad, and Blogger doesn't work on it.  So Dustin did whatever techie magic he does, and moved the blog over to the new address.  All the old posts are there, and I'll still be posting as I have in the past.  Now, it's just on a different blog site. (Wordpress instead of Blogger)  I'm hoping this new one turns out to be easier to use than the other.  It gave me all kinds of grief! :)  I'm sure Dustin would blame it on "user error", but I'm sticking to my story that it was Blogger. :)

The Baby Suite

I finished up my 2 little projects for Michael and Anna's room today.  I've enjoyed being "crafty" again.  I need to make time for more of this.  I'd forgotten how much fun it is. Anyway...here are some pictures of the finished (for now) babies' room:

 We had newborn pictures done of Michael and Anna.  So, I matted their pictures on some fun, cute scrapbook paper and hung them with a wooden initial that I painted and attached a cute animal to.

This paper goes perfectly with the flower in the picture.

 I also made some hangers for Anna's headbands

All in all, I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. :)

Cribs

Well after admitting to the pediatrician that the babies were sleeping in their bouncy seats at night, she suggested we try lowering one end of the mattress in their cribs to put them at an angle.  They've been sleeping in their bouncy seats because they wouldn't sleep flat without screeching and spitting.  So...yesterday I dropped one end of their cribs down a level and gave it a try for a morning nap.

Michael stretched out and went to sleep with no problem. 

Anna was not impressed however.  We may need to work on her a little bit.

I've been putting some finishing touches on their room, and will be posting pictures when it's all done.

Fist Bump!

Oh dear...

In my searching of the internet for little headbands, I stumbled across some "how-to's" on making headbands.  Turns out it's ridiculously cheap and easy to do.

Oh dear, Anna your headband collection is about to grow...

 Go Big Blue!
