  • Oh my goodness. It’s been a while since I’ve taken a look at the photos on Tuesday’s camera. Today I downloaded them and they were cracking me up. First of all, dozens of pictures of her bookshelf.

    Maybe because it’s convenient from her bed? There are pictures of us sleeping that we don’t recall her taking. Noooo that’s not creepy at all…
    And these gems:


    I can just imagine her cracking herself up over these. I know they got Bj and I rolling.

  • Oh my goodness what have I gotten myself into?!?! Sciarrino and I have been crafting like crazy for weeks getting read for the Albany Town and Country Christmas Bazaar. The show is this weekend! It starts on Friday November 30th and runs through Sunday, December 2nd. We decided to participate on a whim. After all if you ever craft something chances are you’ve had someone tell you, “You should sell that!” Well we will have lots of goodies for sale, including burp rags, onsies, ribbon blankets, snack bags, ombre quilts, flannel wonky star quilts, and other simple baby/toddler quilts. We’ve made cards and crinkly baby toys. We have receiving blankets and even nursing pads. If none of that suits your fancy and you’re in the area we are one of, I believe, 100 vendors. Every item there for sale has to be made by the person tending the booth, so I’m really excited to see what everyone has for sale.
    Here is a glimps of our booth, we mocked it up this last weekend.

    Pretty much everyone I know and love has helped Sciarrino and I get the booth ready. Bj made these awesome racks:

    He used this tutorial. My mother in law has been watching the girls and helping with ironing and sewing. My mom has been sewing and watching the girls. Her and my step dad took Tuesday camping last weekend and she had a blast. Glad she got to do something fun because we have been at home sewing like crazy!
    And sweet Bennet helped me by modeling the crinkly toys.

    Yum, yum, get it Bennie! I (or maybe my mom…) made lots since they are known around here as “baby crack”

    So please come shop! Or at least stop by and say hi! I would love to see you! And I won’t be wearing my glasses (I like to pretend I have perfect vision) so don’t hesitate to come right up and say hey. I’ll have Bennet “I won’t take a bottle if my life depended on it” Garrison with me the whole time 🙂

  • People say they look so much alike, but I don’t see it much. They look (and act!) so different to me. Here both at four months:


    If you have multiple children do they look much alike? Did they grow to look more alike or more different? It’s so interesting to me how different, yet equally wonderful the girls are. I just love them so.
