New Sewing Projects

   Since I bought a sewing machine almost 2 years ago, I have really enjoyed teaching myself how to sew.  Now that we are mostly settled into our home, I have a couple sewing projects that I want to complete over the next month. 

    The first one is for Connor's room. I don't know if you remember, but I made pennant banners for his first birthday {you can see them here}. I really loved how they turned out and wanted to incorporate them in his room, the only problem was that the circus theme didn't quite go. So I bought some new fabric that coordinates with his bedding and I plan on making 3 long banners to hang throughout. I felt like his room needed a little something, and I think this will complete it. I also love that I  will be able to reuse the banners in his future room and birthday parties.

 I really like all the different patterns and textures.

Back To The River

    On Sunday, we went back to the river as planned. This time we brought a couple friends with us, so we had even more fun! We unloaded all of our cars and walked down to the river. 

   There were quite a bit more people than there were on Friday, probably because it was a Sunday and early afternoon when we got there. We found a spot near the water to setup our tent, umbrella, and chairs. Once again, as soon as I put Connor down he rushed into the water.

Connor: Sixteen Months Old

*What you eat: You drink about 15-20 oz of milk a day. You love clementines, bananas, eggs, chicken, Annie's cheddar bunnies, and french fries. "Mmmmmm" is one of your favorite things to say.

*Size clothes: 18-24 months and size 6.5-7 shoes. 

*Favorite toy: Cooking spoons, straws, and megablocks.

You stacked them all by yourself!

Exploring

   Yesterday while Aaron was on his way to Pisa for his jump, he talked to one of the guys about where we live. The guy told Aaron about Cittadella, a walled city about 10 miles from our house, and that it was worth visiting. We didn't have any plans today, so we decided to see what Cittadella was all about! 

 This is what we saw when we drove up to the city.

Keeping Busy

    This morning {at 6} Connor and I woke up to a bang. One of the pictures on our gallery wall going up the stairs fell off the wall and tumbled all the way down! Unfortunately this was the second time it has happened, and the frame broke. I was sleeping so well, I hated to wake up... but when my baby wakes up, I have to also. I gave him a quick bath because he leaked through his diaper and then we went downstairs. I found this sweet little note from my hubby on the counter. He had a C-130 jump in Pisa today, so he was going to be gone until late tonight.
