Our summer & changes are a comin'

What have I been up to that has caused me to completely forget about my blog for the last few months??? This...
You Choose Any 4
I opened an Etsy shop and it is doing really well. My largest order so far has been for 165 bees.

It was for a preschool summer camp in NY. The next two biggest orders both went to Australia for a school play. One was an order of 45 monkeys and the other was for 33 elephants.

I've been making a few cute things for Henry, like these tie onesies. I've also made a few clip on ties (sorry, no pic).


And I got Madie's Halloween costume made. Although, if you ask her, I still need to make her some gloves.

Madie took swim lessons in June. She did great and is an excellent swimmer now. She jumps right off the diving board and swims over to the steps all by herself and she is doing really well at swimming with her face underwater.

Henry is continuing to grow...and so is my belly. Madie keeps telling me that my belly is too big and that Henry needs to stop growing. He's already measuring in at 6 pounds...which is about 1 pound more than average. She actually yelled at him the other day. It was really funny. She was laying on the floor next to my bed and I was next to her, Zach usually takes on this role but Madie wasn't feel well and only wanted me. She was facing me and trying to roll over but there wasn't room, so she proceeded to say "Henry, move! Mom, Henry is stealing my spot. I'm trying to lay down and he's in the way!" She was not happy and I couldn't help but laugh.

Other than that, we've been busy with doctors appointments (twice a week now) and house hunting. Well after about 6 weeks, over a dozen viewings and 4 offers we found a house!!! It is in the downtown Gilbert area and we love it! It needs some work, but it has everything we wanted in a house. We are supposed to close on September 10th (yep, my due date) and then we'll take a few weeks to do some upgrades and repairs and probably move in some time in October. So if all goes well, this will be our house in a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to take lots of "before & after" pics of the things we change.


And last but not least...a few cute pictures of Madie :)
