EIGHTY-FIVE DAYS...
are you kidding me?! wow. 85 days (or possibly 100 if she's anything like alasdair) until we meet this sweet little low-kicking lady. that's wild and exciting... so so exciting. It's time for another little baby in this house. I'm almost starting to understand the dozen-kid bit. I imagine that it's easy to keep wanting to have babies... sweet, little babies. The enjoyment of a child is indescribable. BUT, BUT... that said, I think we'll stick to two :)
Remember the dress I posted a while back? When we found out she is a girl? Bought it... yessSS.ss.s.... well, requested it in a size 2T, first (I can't wait until she fits a 4T to see that goodness on her). I've also been washing/arranging her clothes. Her wardrobe is already larger than mine, thanks to generous friends, sisters and a particularly excited grandmother (thanks, marci). Yes, 85 days. or less. or more.
Family news...
alasdair: is officially a toddler. I know, I know, I was told it would happen. just didn't realize how abruptly. He repeats any and every word and would almost prefer playing with friends as opposed to mama + papa. Almost. Sleeping like a champ, finally. Eating when he's hungry, as you do. and crying, screaming, whailing when he can't go outside and play in the snow for hours on end. He loves the snow... "N-ho!!"
ju + ben: (and alasdair) we're off to nashville in a couple of weeks. Headed over on the 12th to visit Ben's mama, then in the car, up and over, to see my mama. I'm so psyched. so so so psyched.
inkpony: is progressing! We've just put our first "batch" of stuff into a local store... Paisley Pomegranate (located near the junction, in Redstone). It's kind of a catch-all shop---cool, unique stuff ranging from lamps to baby clothes. My understanding is that it's one of the only places in town to pick up stylish baby gifts, so I hope we do well. We'll see. I've started an inkpony blog, which we'll try to update at least once a week, at: inkpony.wordpress.com
check us out, add us to your links, follow us... please :)
I hope to update the site with great Etsy finds, information, ideas... random goodness (all of the things this blog would be were I to focus on anything aside from alasdair).
ju: is going to work! yep, 85 days prior to the birth of the little lady, I've decided to work a bit at a local children's boutique: Baby Nee Nee. The owner is super young, energetic, cool, interesting... and the shop is in a great location, pretty mellow. I always head in there for gifts (they carry all of the Plan Toys toys + Melissa and Dough + other eco-friendly, fairly-priced stuff). I went in the other day and she approached me... I was flattered. Talked to Ben. Decided to give it a shot.
snow: is on the horizon, and we need it. The difference between this year and last is crazy. Bluebird days by the dozen, whereas last year we were hunkered down in the storms for a period of months. Nice change, but needing snow... at least we got a couple feet in the last couple of days. I love seeing the white.

inkpony photo shoot
yep... pretty cute. featuring: alasdair (18m) + ajna (12m)... little lovers, best friends, and kind enough to pose (even j.crew style in the first photo) for us.
it was on a whim, so the background isn't the most ideal... however, we couldn't resist the shots we did get.

photo post
night night. he says.
big news in the snowmobiling world: alasdair now rides up front when the weather is nice. so much fun, and much easier, too---especially with the growing belly.
a mini uncle jonas.
loving the camelback. tsss.
goggles. one of his other favorite things.
alasdair and josie---dooley's niece, visiting over the holidays. osha had someone to kiss for new year's. and he did. just strolling in the boots...
lucky (mark) and birdy (dana) gifted alasdair this sweet trike for christmas. this is his first run... just need to add one more block.
and this is the mounting process.
almost to the seat
osha's new legs, which you all know i dig---we made him some last year, too. i bought these from a fellow etsian: mamarunswithscissors (if you search under usernames on etsy, you'll find her---ridiculously cute stuff).
