photo essay

dear readers,
i have not left you.  i have not reverted to my old habits of starting a blog and ending the blog all in the same week because i ran out of things to say.  please, travel back in time with me to monday where we will begin a 5-day journey in my flip-flops.  

monday after my NST and regular check-up, i met a few neighbors while i was out doing some light yard work, which uncovered the following:

tuesday, kevin banned me from yard work (though he appreciated all that had been done) and instead i spent a bit of time recovering on the couch.  i guess maybe i was a bit over-zealous with the rake and the pruning sheers and the bagging of the leaves... he he.  in the late afternoon i did get to take a certain chubby puppy for a walk, though.  this is a pre-walk photo:

wednesday was the day i most looked forward to because i got to see my boys.  the one on the left has my nose!  (please don't be alarmed by the top left corner of the first picture - the 3D thingy only focuses on a specific portion and anything outside of that zone gets cut out).  in the evening kevin and i ate a delicious meal together and then we took otis for a walk, all the while day-dreaming of the warm summer evenings we'll soon share strolling the boys around town.

thursday is a bit fuzzy - perhaps because there are no pictures to document the day with.  but i do remember having a couple of foxes over for omelets, brownies, and father of the bride - part 1.  


friday and today you might say i've been in a bit of a nesting mode.  on the left, you have baby clothes that are in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and sorted according to size and type.  on the right, you have number one out of the two baby quilts i'm making.  the one you see is very near the finishing stage, and isn't as girly as it appears in this picture.  the second one i will start sometime this week, and i'll post a picture of them together once they're finished.  this one below is greens and browns, the other is blues and browns, and the fabrics are different patterns.      


and that concludes this weeks walk in my flip-flops.  good-bye.

Am I the only one who doesn't sew or knit or quilt?
yikes
Liz, as I enjoy my twins day in and day out I think of you and my excitement for you grows! You have soooo many blessings in store. How thankful I am that you carried these little guys so far now. He is too good to us, isn't he?
I hope you saved the tea for those first days home with the boys. Trust me- it'll taste really good. By the way- are you drinking enough now?
And P.S. NO MORE RAKING!
