updates

Well, we were rained out the first attempt at the handmade sale and ended up still making about $60 overall. We had a REDO Friday and did well, but only sold 3 handmade things I think.

We are still going though. We are planning another in October and already have one person who wants us to email her when we are having it!

In other news, we are still awaiting the word on the gender of our newest little one--we will be able to find out soon after the 4th. We tried to convince the doctor to let us find out before our upcoming trip, but he wouldn't!

We are going to be going on some much needed vacation. In addition to going to FL for Jonathan's grandparents' 50th anniversary party and SC for his sister's goodbye party (they will spend 2 years in China), we will also be going to NC to see my parents. And we will be dropping off little B with my parents and heading to Wilmington for some Mommy/Daddy alone time!

We love our little B, but we are so excited to have some much needed date and relaxation time.

Check back after our trip for pictures and an update on my little lima bean. :)

Oh, also, I have the possibility of some wholesale business coming for my Etsy site and I am really looking forward to seeing what comes of that!

The Handmade Sale

Woohoo! I've pulled it together with the help of friends. The Handmade Sale is officially ON, and it's tomorrow.

If you live in the Birmingham, AL area email me for directions. The sale is Saturday, June 13th from 7am-2pm.

Hope you can make it and support homemade! We have 9 wonderful ladies bringing their homemade goodies ranging from baby stuff to art to home decor to shelves even!

It's official

Well there are two things that are official.

1) Felt the first baby "kicks"! This afternoon sitting on the couch I felt the first flutters of our precious unborn baby!

2) The handmade sale is set to go. I've got a date, a location, and several participants! It's going to be Saturday, June 13th. If you are in the Birmingham, AL area and would like to come, email me and I will give you directions.

My baby is ONE!

We celebrated B's birthday last Saturday at J's parents' lake house on Lake Keowee in South Carolina. His aunts and uncles, great-grandparents, and grandparents were all there (with a few exceptions). We had a great time. We also celebrated Aunt K's high school graduations (congratulations Auntie K!).
Here are some of the cute pics--they are in reverse order, watch B get cleaner! Mommy and Daddy forgot to take pictures of opening the presents, oops! We had a Winnie-the-Pooh theme of course.

Talladega fun

Jonathan and I had a friend from college and his wife come to stay with us this past weekend. They came for the Talladega Super Speedway spring NASCAR race.

I wasn't looking forward to going, but I really had a great time! We got to see some great action and it really was a fun experience despite having black seats (really heats up your buttercup!) and being squished like sardines in the hot stands.

Stroller Dayz

My friend Tommy took these pictures of Benjamin when we went to the Alabama Veterans Memorial and shopping at the Summit. Love those feet in the air.

Mad Libs "Superstitions"

Thanks to Laura for her answers!

Superstitions

When I was a kid 12 years ago, we used to believe in superstitions like it's bad luck to open a rug in the house, and if your candy itches, it means a flower is coming to visit, and you'll have yellow luck if you find a four-leaf-bus. And we believed that if you spilled pizza at the table, you had to throw some over your left truck, and if your pretty toe hurt, it meant rain, and if you broke a car you would have seven years of bad ducks. Today kids have different superstitions such as, it's bad luck to jump on the railroad tracks just before a nail pulls in, and don't throw rocks at policemen. But, actually, there's only one superstition I believe in. Whenever I comment on my health, I always remember to knock on a piece of envelope.

Hope you had fun!
