Random Thoughts

* Ruby threw her last remaining broken pacifier away today! She got some Sesame Street stickers as a reward. Bedtime went okay. She asked for her paci and we reminded her that she is a big girl and doesn't need it. She cried for about 30 seconds and then went to sleep.

* My friend Rachel gave Ruby and Telia adorable dolls that her sister Melissa made. I will take some pictures and post them on here. Ruby is already attached to both of them and calls them Ruby (the bigger one) and Baby Telia (the smaller one). The Ruby doll had to leave us tonight because her arms were "sick" and Ms. Melissa had to fix them...she handled it pretty well.

* St. James Art fair was a lot of fun although I didn't really find anything that I wanted to buy. I did purchase a cute homemade ornament for Telia and we had a bunch of yummy food including a pumpkin roll and pumpkin pie ice cream. Mostly we had a wonderful time with our friends from the north Erik and Smith. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures.

* We have less than 5 weeks to our due date!

* I have been researching more in depth about cloth diapering and am thinking of upgrading my system. I started using the cloth diapers this week again with Ruby and tonight she threw a fit when we tried to put them on her...I am afraid the covers are too small and hurting her legs...especially since she kept telling me yesterday that her legs hurt when I would change her.

* Ruby is all about changing her babies diapers. Today she wanted to put a diaper on her bear and yesterday she kept telling me that Pooh Bear poo pooed.

* I am looking for a couple of cute matching outfits for Ruby and Telia to have. I also want a Big Sister/Little Sister shirt. I know, I am one of those cheesy mom's who thinks it is sweet when their kids match. I think I found some shirts on Etsy that are cute. Check out more stuff at the Lullaby Loft shop


* Speaking of Etsy...my friend, Kathleen, from college has a new Etsy Shop. Check out Kathleen Jean Photography by clicking on this This is my favorite picture that she has up.


* Brian and I have been taking the Financial Peace University class at church. It has really helped get both of us on the same page with our finances and is helping us be better stewards of our money.

that is all

St. James here we come!

I was inspired by my friend Beth to blog about my favorite part of the autumn season...St. James Art Show! It starts today!

I have been attending since I lived in Old Louisville in 2004...back then I just had to walk out my front door and there were all the wonderful booths of art, crafts, jewelry, and lets not forget the food...homemade pumpkin rolls and apple cider.

****I now need to interrupt this post to report on what my crazy dog just did. She saw a cat out the front door and ran to the window to bark. She hit her head against the window so hard that she broke it. Awesome...stupid dog! ugh.******************

Last year we didn't plan well and I didn't have any money to spend which sucked but this year my wonderful husband put aside some money early on for me to have! I can't wait to see what treasures I find this year.
This is my wonderful husband



We are also going to be introducing the art fair to our good friends, the Schwartz, who are coming down from Chicago.

I am super excited and I will try to remember to document our day with some pictures. Here is Ruby's first visit to St. James....she was about 1 month old.

St. James Art Fair

This weekend was the St. James Art Fair here in Louisville. This is one of our favorite events of the year and was Ruby's first experience. It was REALLY REALLY hot and we had to go between feeding times so our time was limited but we were able to snap a pic with Brian's parents.
