It's been awhile

Yeah... I haven't posted in quite some time. Life has been busy lately.... Marin has her fussy time during the afternoon... the time I usually spend online, so lately I've been busy doing as much stuff as I need to during the naps she finally has. She sleeps well at night (6 hours now... so glad) which makes me feel so blessed.

My sister had a shower for me on Wednesday here at my house. It was incredible. The decorating her and my sis-in-law did was gorgeous, and they got a really nice cake too (one that had rolled fondant! I've never had a cake with rolled fondant! It was great). They even had favors... baby bottle candy and those candy necklaces. I took pics.

This cake is beautiful

Poor Marin... got hungry just as everything was starting.

The rocker in this pic is a family heirloom on dear hubby's side. His great grandpa's.

The poor cake... but boy did it taste good

Anyway, that's a few pics. It's amazing the things Marin got. I love the clothes, and my sis-in-law got her a little pink bible! It's sooo cute! Has a family tree inside that I should fill out. Never had mine filled out when I was little.

The other day I took my pics that I printed out, (including the baby announcements... a bit late, I know... should have printed them when I finished them but I didn't), and put them in the frames I've had here waiting for them. They look gorgeous. Now to put them up on the walls. Once I've done that I can check off another of my 101 in 1001. :) I also did a bunch of catching up on paperwork. Yippee! Now I want to go play some video games.

How many of you did something for halloween? We didn't. I had worship team practice in the evening and a farm meeting during the day. Otherwise... just did work and stuff. I washed all the new babyclothes and put them away. Lots of stuff from 3-6 months. I was told to make sure that I wash everything as it may shrink and fit her earlier. Such cute outfits... I cant wait to see her in them! :)

Anyway, that's all I'll post for now. I'm sleepy yet again. Sigh. :)

What an incredibly memorable day for you and your family. The cake looks amazing!! How old is the baby rocker? How special to still have it in your family, and for Marin to use, after all these years.

The rocker is... old. No idea how many years exactly. It was my husband's grandpa's rocker... his dad made it for him specifically and it's been passed down since... so about 80 years old?
