Halloween Recap 2014

I've finally made it back to the blog! I've had so many things I've wanted to blog about and projects I've wanted to share, but I have yet to make it back here to post any of them. We'll see if I can remedy that, but seriously, if you had this little one to snuggle, you'd have trouble getting anything else done too!

Our first official holiday has come and gone! We didn't get out to actually see anyone for Halloween, but I still couldn't pass up making sure she had an outfit and taking a few fun pictures!
Mommy's Beauty

Her dress was super easy to make! (Tutorial to follow shortly. I'll link it when I get it done.)
She kept lifting the rose up. We weren't sure if she was trying to smell it or eat it. Silly girl!
 




Happy Halloween!
I almost caught this smile!
I also couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a few pictures of her in my first Halloween costume. This little ghost outfit was made by my mom back in 1990!
She likes to chew...on her hand...on her clothes...on my clothes...whatever she can get a hold of!





 
 My happy baby telling her stories!



Back to work! I should probably get some laundry done before naptime is over!

Sweet Baby Girl

The school year is over and summer is finally here! If only it would stop raining! Ha!
 
Dylan and I (well, maybe mostly me) have been keeping busy getting ready for baby. (Unless you've tried it you can't imagine the amount of reading material on babies and birth on pinterest!) We also had our ultrasound and got to see our little girl. It was an amazing experience to see her moving around in there!
 
Baby Girl is super wiggly now. I love feeling her wiggle, though sometimes I wish her timing were a little better. (Like at night juuust as I'm starting to fall asleep.) She plays with us if we poke or pat my belly, and she wiggles at her daddy when he talks to her or blows raspberries on my belly.
Baby Girl also has a name! After a long time of going back and forth we finally found the name for baby! Annalise Aglae Ora. Many people have asked about her two middle names, so for those wondering... Aglae (ag-lay) was the first name of one of my great grandmas on my mom's side. Ora was the middle name of one of my great grandmas on my dad's side and that great grandma also had an Aunt Ora (and an Aunt Cora). Plus, as we were looking at the meaning of the names Aglae means "beautiful" and Ora is Latin for "prayer" so it just seemed perfect! :) And Annalise already has nicknames. Her Nana and Daddy have been calling her Annie. I like the nickname Lissy.
 
As for the rest of our summer plans: Dylan is busy working,  I'm working two days a week at the pool (when it doesn't rain us out), and, as always, I have a list of books to read and multiple Pinterest boards full of projects to keep me busy!
 
Keep an eye of for projects, tutorials, and book reviews! I'm hoping to get back to blogging and the summer sounds like a perfect time to get some things done!
 
Hope you're enjoying your summer thus far!
 
Love,
Emily
