Paint-a-Piece

Saturday, December 18:
Mary and I went to Paint-a-Piece to make a Christmas gift for her mom.  Of course I couldn't resist and joined in on the fun.

I made ornaments for Clayton's 1st Christmas and took home paint to add her footprint.

Our creations:

Baby and Booze: Week 1

The first week of being a mom was full of laying around the house, recovering from having a baby, and enjoying mimosas and wine after months of being sober.  Harris was home on vacation from work and got to enjoy laying around the house with his three girls.   

 

The white patch on her heel was from a band aid I just taken off her foot from when she had to get blood taken.

The picture below was taken on Friday, December 17 at 4:31pm when she was exactly 1 week one.

Wrapped around his finger....already

 

 

 

 

Are you sure I'm related to her?

Clayton is 2 days old and Ella (my sister's baby) is 10 weeks old.

No Birthday Baby

Friday was my last day at work for now.  So I've spent this week relaxing, shopping and being lazy.  It's been wonderful!  My 28th birthday (Monday) came and went without the debut of our new arrival.  And we're still waiting... 

Here's a few recent pics:

I look like a beached whale and this is the only pic I will post of myself.

 Nieces Mary and Ella 

Sadie upset her "squirrel" (type of frisbee she loves) is stuck in the tree.

So happy her mom spent 10 minutes getting it down.

 

And Sissy who we miss terribly.
