cuteness

I just have to share this because it is pretty much the cutest thing ever. When Brian puts Finley to bed he tells her a make believe story about two sisters named Fantasia and Annabelle {get it...F and A}. One night the story involved the sisters going to Paris. The next day Finley received a special postcard in the mail. Can you make out the two girls? And can you believe how well he photoshopped the whole thing. I'm definitely putting this in the keepsake box!

And here are a TON of pictures of Adalaide. I just couldn't narrow them down.

i love these chubby legs

and these tiny little hands.

little girls are fun to shop for...

...even when they aren't your own. One of my very favorite people is welcoming her second baby girl any day now. I had so much fun putting together a gift, some of it made, and some from my favorite children stores.

i can't wait to meet you baby girl isaacson! 

Finley is turning into quite the little poser. She climbed into Adalaide's bed and requested that i take their photo. Brian had our camera with him at a job so i had to track down our old one, but i'm so glad i did.

This weekend we went to two parties sans finley who still can't be around other little ones. As much as we missed her, Brian and I had so much fun hanging out with other adults and actually being able to finish our sentences and enjoy our meals. First we went to a co-ed wedding shower for Laura and Israel, friends from our community group. Two words: GOOD FOOD!

Then we went to cousin Lucy's first birthday party. She is such a darling little peanut, and she definitely did not disappoint when it came time for digging into her pie!

I also was able to do some fun sewing projects for some special little babies that are arriving soon. Can't post pictures though cause that would ruin the surprise.

I've been drooling over these darling little baby shoes on etsy, but i just can't justify spending $30 on a pair of baby shoes that will fit for a few months, at the most. So, I attempted to make my own. Now i understand why they are so expensive. These things are time consuming! My sewing is awful, but from afar they are cute. I'm hoping they'll turn out better with some more practice.

More photos from both parties in the online album.

Holy long post!
