It's About Time...

...That the Obama's got a little heat. I could go on and on about how there have been soo many topics that people like Saturday Night Live could have spoofed but haven't. (Reference Stori's long list here) Thank you Conan O'Brien for finally poking fun at the other side! A little political humor is OK when it is done on both sides and it doesn't get too personal!

A Dose of Political Humor

Avery's Christmas Stocking

It is a tradition in our family to make our Christmas stockings. My mom and sister have cross-stitched theirs and ours growing up, which I am not good at or really enjoy doing, so I decided to take a different approach and quilt Avery's. I was lazy last year and simply bought mine and Jeff's stockings, but they are also green and white quilted ones, so they fit. Now, I just need to get a pretty hanger for it. I LOVE her's and am totally jealous of how awesome and BIG her stocking gets to be, lol. Oh well, I would much rather her have it and plus, there's plenty of room for Santa to fill it up ;)

I put her name on the loop. The blue stiching matches the Christmas fabric I used for lining on the inside. I love this line of fabric!:A close up of the quilting:

Annie's First Pumpkin Patch

My niece, Annelise, came this weekend so we took the opportunity to take her to pick out her first pumpkin! It was a blast! It's she adorable?!

Avery's Nursery

I need to say a special thanks to Ronnie (my father-in-law) for coming to install the chair rail, shelves, and paneling to the bedroom. It looks amazing! We worked really hard on Saturday and were able to get everything done except the decal. I knew that would take lots of time and would be a test of my patience, so I waited until this morning to up it up. I LOVE it!! It is from Lewa's Design's on Etsy. It was love at first site and I had to have it for Avery! :) I hope you like the room!

Cheers

I love this song and have to listen to it every time I need a little "pick-me-up"...

"The Heart Of Life"

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But, then your circle of friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
