Picture Day - Oct 19th

 My friend Jenna from Jameson Photos is an amazing photographer. We've made it a tradition to skip traditional school pictures and just take them with her.

 Some how she can capture them at their best, even when having a rough time. Abbey was screaming only 2 minutes before this picture.

I love that I get 3 poses and all of them are amazing... oh, how much better would have my grade school photos looked through a professional lense.

 Look at my handsome son! He is so photogenic.

yes. I will admit Jason and I make good looking babies. 

 I think James might be the only one more excited about our baby then I am. Sunday he spent time giving my stomach raspberries and talking to the new baby. I know she will love this boy. 

 This girl just gets prettier and smarter everyday.

 I know she will be my biggest asset when the new baby comes. Abbey already thinks she is the coolest thing ever - I know Elinor Kathryn will adore her big sissa as well.

Anyway, these are the adorable Buchanan's of the 2010-2011 school year. If you live in the valley or will be here visiting, I would definitely give Jenna a call. She is so worth it! (and better priced then the school's pictures)

I love Jenna! She is so talented, especially capturing little kids perfectly. It not an easy thing to do but her pictures make it look effortless. I forgot all about the pillowcase dress until I saw Abbey wearing hers, now I want to make a few dozen for Elsie this year. Abbey looks so cute in hers!

our baby has "indoor plumbing"

Image
The nice thing about my Thursday appointment was knowing the end was in sight. Sunday morning 5:30am I was scheduled to be induced. So we cleaned our house like mad on Saturday and my kids spent the night at their grandparents. We were up and ready to go. Paige drew me this picture before we left. Right to left: New baby, me, nightstand with cookies & candy (does my daughter know me or what?) When we got there - I needed some serious help to get ready to have the baby. I was dilated to a 2 and my cervix was really thick. So they gave me some internal gels that caused me to contract, I went through a series of 2, which means 5 hours of hell. It hurt & was a crappy 5 hours - but then my best friend came along, the anesthesiologist and gave me the epidural. Then they started the pitosum , which caused additional labor to set on... I couldn't care less. I felt wonderful (I love modern conveniences) - I love the goofy pictures of me & Jason just waiting around (don't we...

The final chapter of the Buchanan saga

Image
It's official - we heard the heartbeat on Wednesday - this is the cause of my nauseated state of being 24/7. There is actually a little peanut causing all this havoc on my body. Everything seems to be going really well. My progesterone levels were low so they put me on a supplement and I'm trying to live with the side effects while Jason claims there are no big changes (I always break out crying, right? - ha, ha, ha) Actually, it does have a slew of side effects, but I seem to be affected by 3: sleepiness, irritability, and anxiety. Serious anxiety over the littlest dumbest things (makes me crazy) and it sucks that my one good quality (patience) is in short supply. Yesterday during preschool my kids were looking at me like 'why does she think she has to bribe us for every little thing?' - please, please, please put your shoes on, I will give you an m&m - come on just help pick up, I will give you and m&m - poor things. Luckily it will just be 'til I reac...

Apron and book giveaway (guess who made the freaking cute apron)

Image
So we are hosting our first FREE giveaway on the SSC (Secret Stitch Club) site, which I am a proud member of. The author of the book featured below gave us a free copy to give away... (she's kind of a celeb in the apron blogosphere subculture). Anyway, what I'm more excited about is the stink'n cute apron I made to giveaway with the book. This is our first combined project and launching point for Christie, Jill & I, (we will hopefully be opening an Etsy site next month to sell these suckers for actual money)   Okay so one reason I love this apron is that it is green . Let me hug a tree for a minute and tell you how cool this apron is. The book is about vintage kitchen linens, and this apron is made from r epurposed household linens . The main white section came from a laundry room curtain , it has the sweetest white on white flowers along the bottom. The red gingham ties and bottom ruffle are a repurposed bed sheet . How cool is that? This apron has a generous fit (I...
