Little Gifts for a Friend

I was able to meet up with a good friend the other day, one that I have not seen for almost 10 years! It was great to see her, and she looked EXACTLY the same from the last time I had seen her. It was amazing. It was also nice to meet her daughter. How did we reconnect, you may wonder ... well of course, through Facebook. :-) It turns out that she is living only about an hour and a half away from us and so we planned a late lunch on Friday and had a good time catching up on the events from the past several years. To add to the fun, we are both expecting our second babies later this summer so I planned a little gift for her baby-to-come as well as a gift for the big sister.

Baby gift ...
I found a great tutorial online, of course, from one of my favorite crating websites, Sew Like My Mom, for these adorable little baby friendly bean bags. They were just too stinkin' cute not to make, so I did.



And then a gift for the big sister ...

4th of July Fun

We went to Kilgore for the 4th of July weekend and celebrated with Jeff's family. It was a good time but by the end of the long weekend my pregnant body was completely worn out from the 4 hour travel there and back.

Here are some pics from our family weekend.


A celebration of everyone's birthday for the year. :)






Me and baby at 34 weeks!


And a new pair of shorts for Wesley.







He loved them and by the end of the weekend he was exhausted too!
