About Me

We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

Craft fun for a pregnant girl on bedrest......

I have been looking for crafty things to do to keep me busy while I am suppose to be laying down.....I make bows but there are only so many bows you can make.....I have always loved little baby tutus.....I have been looking up how to make them and even looked at books at the craft store and finally decided that I wanted to make at least one.  This afternoon on our way home from looking at our maternity pictures we stopped by the store to pick up the supplies for me to begin.  I got enough to make at least 3-4....I was suppose to wait and start tomorrow while Josh is at school...but I just couldn't wait...and Josh was such a great helper!  I made this first one in newborn size and I made it to match the little knit hat that Kristin made me!  Oh and I added a black with white stitching ribbon to the hat and absolutely LOVE the way it turned out so the tutu is light pink and black!  I am so excited about them and I can't wait for Adah to get here so that I can put her in them and take her picture!  Let me know what you think!

Here is the front of both the hat and the tutu!
 This is the back of both....the tutu ties with a pink satin bow!
