only 6 weeks till launch!  having lots of braxton hicks…

we are  just about there…it became pretty real the other day as we got all the necessities ready.  it is funny that word necessities…with our first that meant something so different than now.  back then…i mean if it had anything to do with baby we bought it.  this time around i feel like a seasoned veteran…necessities: car seat. of course we have other things ready, but honestly we are just so much more relaxed going into this one.  i am VERY ready for her to come,  sweet baby paisley!!!  i have totally scrubbed every inch of the house, so it is super clean and i am feeling…READY!

need to catch up on some things…

ryan built the girls a playground set…they LOVE it!

after three years of thinking it through i finished reagan’s painting.

check out the back seat of the family truckster…three seats all squished in there…I LOVE IT!

we conquered cleaning out the garage…(as well as the, literally, 16 page list of to-do’s that has been building for the last 8 months…i would say i am pretty well done nesting.)

this year we have been growing a garden, this afternoon for lunch i ate some sugar snap peas from it and they were awesome!  the girls have had a lot of fun with it.

i went and got the girls and easel, they love to do art, and they see me painting on mine and decided that they needed one.  priceless! little mini me’s.

big news…i have completely switched to apple (well almost…i still use my pc for some stuff, long story, but i just can’t part with my favorite archaic program corel draw for vector work.) my iphone and laptop…seriously, I LOVE THEM!  if you know me well you know how weird those words must sound coming out of my mouth.  i mean we are talking about me the girl who hasn’t used her cell phone in like 7…um… years.  i know right,  have i been living under a rock?  really, i am still so old school and do most everything tangible , you know good old pen and paper…hence about 9 million inspiration scribbles, notes and sketchbooks.  which is fun, but really hard to organize, so i am in the process of trying to go digital…not an easy transition for me, but much needed.  i am thinking of some sort of hybrid format.

so with my new found technology (that the rest of the creative world has been using forever) i am very motivated, i have been playing with photo altering, and even made ryan a movie montage for fathers day…check it out here.
