where the heck is jen?

hmmmm...good question. with kendall home during the day it's hard to get my blogging in:) we've been doing lots of family things while he's home, to stock up for when he starts work at Squire Sanders on Wednesday. He is on a campout with the Young Men ("Daddy's on a camp over with the Young Mens" according to Ethan)so now's as good a time as any.

i've recently completed a long overdue project for Avery's room. She has been sleeping inbetween two bed-sized pillows since she was tiny because A. that's how she liked to snuggle and B. anything that helped her sleep and also didn't kill her we allowed, pretty much. and if you really want to regale me with all the dangers of babies sleeping in cribs with pillows and other stuff...i know. But sometimes it's okay. and we checked on her a lot in the beginning and throughout her sleeping, so thank you for your sincere concern, she's doing fine:) but i really want the use of those bed pillows when and if we have company over so i got some travel size pillows for avery and recently made covers for them to match her quilt i made her. see the finished product below. i think they turned out cute.





Avery continues in her quest to be the smallest walking person you've ever seen...she isn't walking yet but she pulls up on everything, everywhere, anything that will stay still long enough for her to get her feet under her. today she pulled herself up to standing without holding onto anything, just my hand on her back, kind of. she is very scary. here are pics of her in her crib...




and finally, i got a new pair of glasses and here is a rather bad self-portrait,



but i think they are nice, kind of olivey green. i like em...now my eyes can have a rest...anyway, we aren't up to too much mischief...just our normal mischief:)
