Busy, Indeed

True to my word, I have been busy keeping busy. We have had such an exciting summer.

Some things that we've done:

As a family:
A BIG trip to Texas for the Pugh Family Reunion. It was amazing. The drive there was so good for us (Tim, Missy, and I) to get to know each other on a deeper level. You get to truly see a person when you are literally with them 24/7. It was great.We were gone for a week. That's a long time!

Sehara:
Sehara got to go so many places. She's been down to Kentucky, spent so much time at friend's houses. She had been to Fort Hill Christian camp. and to Berea, KY for the Eco-Village reunion.

The kids and I (sometimes Tim, depending on work):
We jetted to Berea.Which was another big deal. We have been to play-dates almost every Thursday that we've been in town. We have explored Fairborn, and a little bit of Beavercreek and some of Centerville. We still have a long list to get to. We have spent a lot of time with friends. We went to Young's Jersey Dairy. The kids love that place. We also enjoyed the 4th of July Parade. Us girls go every Tuesday to Lady's class. The kids especially love the splash pad.

We've tried new restaurants, seen some movies, gone on long family walks, explored parks

Looking at my list, it doesn't seem like as much as I thought, but when I think about it, we have to schedule things around church, and naps, sports, diapers, and all that fun stuff.

We still have some things to do:
Kings Island
Ice cream and window shopping in downtown Fairborn with Kayt and her kids.
Berry picking at different farms around here.
A weekend trip to Kelly's in Kentucky.
A weekend trip to my parent's house.
The spray park and snow cones at the Greene with Kayt and kids.
Visit with Connie and see new places,
Visit Kaylee and meet her kids,
Visit Amanda and meet Elijah,
Visit Jodi and meet her girls,
Visit Donna!
And, get more traffic to my blog!

It may take until the end of the year!

Tutu Baby Shower Invitations

So, the long awaited post on the invitations for my baby shower, a year ago.
Don't judge me.

The invitations were made with glittery card stock, a onsie cookie cutter, and a printer.
The extra stuff included satin for the tutu, hot glue & gun, sticky rhinestones, pearls on a string and some flower appliques. Not to mention a lot of time.

My friend figure out how many invitations could be printed out on one page through a lot of trial and error. We cut them up and glued the tutus on, the pearls, and flowers.

Then we added some fluff! We had a huge variety of different looking invitations and a little variety of thank you notes.

 Feel free to ask me questions! I love them!

I'm Madeline

Hi!
I'm Madeline and I love eating small pieces of pineapple. I also enjoy peas and small pieces of bread.  Like a birdie. Mommy won't give me much more because she doesn't want me to grow up too fast.  I'm almost eight months old!  I'm pleased to announce I got my first tooth today. Mommy was sure I wouldn't get them for another few months.
I adore my big brother and sister. And everyone else...
