gElie!

Here's my cute little Elie in her gdiaper! I've been using them for about a month now and really love them! Check them out at gdiapers.com

don't judge me!

That tuna casserole I made almost two months ago, I wrote about it here is definitely still in my refrigerator. ? gross.

A New Layout!


I finally figured out how to make my blog look AWESOME!!! I hope you like it, fans!
and here are some pictures to compliment it:



gDiapers

If you haven't heard of gDiapers you HAVE to check them out here
I ordered a starter kit about three weeks ago and have been using them ever since. The diapers are cloth with a water-proof snap-in liner and flushable/compostable/non-landfilling inserts!! When I ordered my kit I knew that I couldn't afford the disposable liners all the time, so I also got some microfiber cloth inserts from happy heiny and they work flawlessly!

I'll post some pictures of my cute little "g baby" soon!!

I just can't get it done!



I'm trying so hard to pack our house up. I just keep getting distracted by my life! Moses is a little needy right now, I think he's getting teeth. If they would just come on in and get it over with it would be a lot easier. But its taking forever! Elie is still the most amazing and happy baby I have ever met. She sleeps, eats, swings gets loved on by Moses and that's her day.
Anyway, distracted again, our apartment is full of boxes and junk is everywhere. I hate it! I keep praying for Jesus to lead me on what to keep and what to get rid of. He is showing me, its just taking a while.
So, back to packing for me!

"remeniscions"

When I was in college I had a job where I rode into the city everyday with three or four friends. Some days we had story time and made up the word "remeniscions" we would talk about favorite memories of our times together. Sometimes it was ridiculous, but it was always fun!! Here are some for you



These are our engagement photos taken by my friend Jessica. Oh the days of being young and free (and thin)!!


Photo shoot!!

Our Elie is almost three months old! Enjoy these, you'll see nothing cuter, at least until I post more!!





just some bragging



Moses is amazing! He is so loving and caring and sensitive! We have so much fun during the day. His latest phrase is "where are you?" so whenever I leave the room or when he wakes up from his nap he says, "mama, where are you?" It is SO cute!! Today, he was such a big boy in the doctor's office! He colored on the paper and got weighed and measured and he even let the dr. and nurse pick him up without freaking out. He got a shot and cried, but he told the nurse thank you while hugging me...melt my heart! Ok enough bragging, moses is calling me from his room, "mama, where are you?"

Baby Elie Grace


This is my sweet baby Elie Grace one month ago. I don't have recent pictures on my computer right now.

I haven't really felt connected to Elie since she was born. I love her and have so much compassion for her. But she is so independent and hardly ever cries, so I don't really feel needed. Until today, we had to go to the doctor for two month shots. (I always dread shots cause I always try to be so strong, but it never works.) The nurse was amazing and so quick! She had the first shot finished before I even knew she had started it. But Elie knew, my poor baby cried so hard and her face was so red! When she was done she let me pick her up and hold her and cuddle with her, she never does that with me!! I was so happy to finally feel needed from her. Then when we got home, Moses went to bed and I laid on my bed with my baby girl and we talked and laughed and connected with each other, then she fell asleep with so much content.

Thank you Jesus for two amazing babies that will one day love and serve you!
