What we've been up to

Playing with all the new (to her) house stuff.  She worked hard to fit her self into the trash can lid





  hanging out with me while I ironed.




Having friends over who then have dance parties with E





Installing a dishwasher- thank you Alex! 
Our kitchen only had room for maybe an 18 inch one but having a smart and handy husband solved that problem. He tore out all the cabinets and moved them and was able to make room for a full sized one.
Elsa thought the whole process was really interesting and fun. She had to get in and take a look for herself!










Lastly, the advent calendar that I decided to start making about a week ago. My time for sewing has gone down a ton since moving and I am trying to learn a bunch of new embroidery stitches, so obviously I am way behind on it.  E is too young to really enjoy it this year so I think it will be ok! I still need to make 12 more ornaments and sew on all the buttons for them to hang on.  But it's slowly coming together!




Jess, Tom, and Dulany flew in to my parents last night from Oregon and are on their way to Pittsburgh. We are excited for E to have some fun play time with her cousin. I am sure we will have lots of pictures to post of them soon!

While looking at all these pictures all I could think was that "she was totally worth the wait"
She's ADORABLE!! I can't say it enough.
