Changes

changes are everywhere in our house!

last weekend dan and i finally (after almost a year) put things on the wall in the kitchen, dining room and entry. our house is finally looking like a home. no thanks to you, bufkin! :) jk.

we finally (after two tumbles down the stairs, and MANY times of running to get elliot off the stairs) installed our baby gates at the landing and bottom of the stairs! we are slowly getting the house baby proofed...

elliot has left crawling behind and is an accomplished walker! he's also eating more table food. oh, the smell of chicken sticks...YUCK! he's also on his last can of formula. my coupons actually lasted the whole year! :) his birthday is on sunday, and by then he'll (hopefully) be weaned.

ethan actually WANTS to potty train now! he's been #2 :) potty trained for a few months, but now he likes to do the other. finally -- i'm so tired of pull-ups!

i have a computer & a tv in my sewing room now. if i had a phone, i probably would never leave! i've been doing more and more sewing/embroidering - and i LOVE it!

i've committed to watching two kids this summer. troy will finish 1st grade this year, and elise is 3 1/2. i'm sure y'all will hear more about them in my posts this summer... i'll have 5 kids in my house!! am i crazy or what?! they are both in daycare right now. why be in daycare when they can stay here? besides helping that family out, another reason i want to earn some cash is my desire to own a beautiful and VERY expensive new embroidery machine!

what's wrong w/ the machine you have now? it does an awesome job. those machines are expensive!

i'm impressed you are keeping other kiddos. guess they will entertain your kids too. my neighbor asked me to keep her kid 2 days a week for 4 hrs and i just have NO desire.

i want a machine with a bigger motor. :) and i also want one that allows for on-screen editing. i've got embroidery fever.

i think the mom was waiting to ask me after elliot got a little older. don't you dare keep any kids but your own for at least a year!!

i recommend the janome customizer 11000 (or some number close to that). it's tons of fun, although, the software is backwards from my software at work which freaks me out sometimes!
