Lazy Days

    The last few days have been lazy. Well, except for Friday when we went over to a friends house. Connor had so much fun playing with Noah. They played outside on his slide and in his pool.

What A Day

    My day started at 3:15 am {15 minutes before my alarm clock was supposed to go off}. I can't think of the last time I had to set my alarm clock that early! I didn't want to get out of bed, but there was no point trying to go back to sleep for 15 minutes. I had to pickup my friend at 4:30 and take her to the airport. It was my first time driving on the Autostrada {a major highway where cars drive really fast and you have to pay tolls}, but it went really smooth. There weren't many cars on the road since it was so early, so I think that helped. Connor slept most of the 1.5 hour drive there and woke up right before we got to the passenger terminal. We had donuts and pigs-in-a-blanket in the car while we waited with my friend to make sure she got on the flight.

 Sugary lips.

The Last Few Days

    The last few days have been full of new things. On Friday, we went to dinner at a really nice restaurant {Aeolia} with a couple of friends. We were running a tad bit late, and I realized half way there that we forgot Connor's shoes... Oh well! Shoes or no shoes, he looked like a handsome, little man.

I'm so lucky to call these boys mine!

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.
