Wrapping Up 2011

Posted in Alston, Eli, Life, Milestones by

Well, what can I say? I’ve gotten a little behind on my blogging. To my defense, we’ve been very busy around here! What’s happened in the last two months? Let’s catch up…

Poppa Joe, “Grandmother” Kelli and Aunt Anna Belle came for a Thanksgiving visit…

I started my new graphic design position at Children’s on December 5th. My new office is right down the hall from my old one, and I’ve been having way too much fun at work.

Eli also turned 2 months old on December 5th. At his 8 week check-up he was 22″ long, weighed 11 pounds & 13 ounces, and his head measured 15.25″. He was in 0-3 mos clothing and a size 1 diaper.

Alston had his first Christmas program at school (video to come)…
We went to see Santa…

These two boys spent lots of bonding time together over Christmas break…

We celebrated with family…
We waited on Santa…

And he finally came…
And left a really big surprise in the back yard…
We spent time with family…
And had a very merry holiday!

I’ve been too busy to think. (Thankfully the dreaded pregnant brain keeps me from doing too much of that anyways.) Busy schedule and brain fog aside, here’s a little of bit of what we’ve been up to recently…
We’ve enjoyed a few gorgeous sunsets…

I dragged the fam with me for an out-of-town work weekend in Fairhope.
Here they are enjoying the band at the event I was working…

We went to Ella’s pool party…

I got the idea to use empty easy squeeze ketchup bottles for waffle and pancake batter from this pin…

And I made Alston some yummy berry waffles…
Here he is enjoying them at our new breakfast bar.
As an added bonus, you get a little sneak peek of the kitchen (in all its messy glory)…
I had seriously hoped to snap some pictures of the kitchen this weekend, but the weather has been terrible which makes for very poor lighting. Hopefully, I’ll have some to share very soon!

Hello

Posted in Alston, Life by

I know I’ve been terribly bad about posting here lately. We have been so super busy working on the house, mainly in the kitchen and nursery. And I’ve also been super swamped at work trying to wrap up a couple of big projects. I am so behind and have so many pictures to share! Slowly but surely, I know things will start to slow down and I’ll get back on track. I have decided to wait to share kitchen pictures until we are finished- I don’t want to ruin the big reveal! Until then, let’s catch up on the fun we’ve been having…

We celebrated Westin’s 1st Birthday…

Daddy made the World’s Best Burger…



Yes, it had a fried egg and it was delicious!!!



We went to a pool party…
Aunt Stacy, Carson, & Alston

We discovered a new neighbor…

We’ve had a very busy and eventful, fun-filled summer! Now school is back in session, so I’ll have pictures from Alston’s first day of 2-year-old kindergarten soon…


Daddy’s Day

Posted in Design, Life by

Father’s Day is getting pretty close, so if you haven’t picked up a card yet, you should definitely think about creating a personalized card at Tiny Prints. All Father’s Day cards are only 99¢ with free shipping! Their designs are way cuter than any you’d find in stores and you can add your own pictures and message. Ugly cards at the big bix stores can cost anywhere between $3 – $5. That is outrageous.

For Father’s Day discount, use the code FDGC99 at checkout.
