hello monday!

hi hi! how was everyone's weekend? we had a pretty low key weekend. saturday and sunday nights we watched movies. and we visited another congregation yesterday because mike gave the sunday talk...it's called 'gaining comfort in all your tribulations' and though i've probably heard it 30 times (not kidding), i still love it!

my scrapbook room was looking like a mess, so i organized it yesterday. and this little shelf was just holding a bunch of junk, so i organized it and put some fun stuff out on display!
and we found a distressed bookshelf at spice for sadie's room, so i filled it with books and pictures and some other cute things...but i really want it more distressed/stained/painted. i thought i could tea stain it like the kitchen cabinets in our last house, and mike said we could take the back off and paint it green or something. any ideas?
and we finally found sadie's hospital picture/going home outfit. it's a precious little ralph lauren gown...i just loved it! so tiny!


this morning, our girls' breakfast at olive branch turned into a mom/daughter breakfast, which was really fun! we laughed so hard and our moms shared their delivery stories with us. then our moms were trying to take pictures of jen and i but could not figure out how to use our cameras, so we got a little loud and rowdy in the restaurant! hehe! i bet they were glad to see us leave ;)
i got the american breakfast...wheat toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, and breakfast potatoes, and i ate it all!! (so much for only gaining 19 pounds so far, right?!)













it was a fun morning, and it's a beautiful day here. hope you're having a great monday!

  5. Yes, breakfast was a lot of fun. I laughed so hard my sides hurt. The gown is really cute and I like the shelf too. Now just to wait for the little baby and it'll be finished.

  6. Danielle, I love the pics of Sadie's room, you did such a great job. I also love the outfit you picked out for her pictures it is precious. I just wanted to give you a heads up about the outfit, just a little something learned by experience...lol...when they wear a gown it is a little harder to buckle the carseat, and keep their little legs covered so you may want a back up outfit for the car ride home. Some things you just dont think about until it happens, just thought I would share...you can take it or leave it...lol! Once again love her room it is precious!
