I promised pictures so here you go! I've been working a lot on Weston's room and still have a few things left to do.  We plan to hang a chair from the ceiling by the tree and I need to do some touchup paint.  We have the chair but we are a little nervous about catching a rafter to hang it from! My dad also came down to help me replace the interior

So much for being good at updating and documenting our lives! Anyway, we've moved!  We are back in PA and focusing on getting our lives back in order.  I wish I could say the move went smoothly but that would be a lie.  Within 10 minutes of walking in to our brand new home I started violently throwing up and got a call from Mike saying the moving truck broke down.  I ended

I just had to share this. My MIL sent me the outfit that Mike wore on his 1st Birthday and we had this picture of him in it.  I love that Weston is looking at the picture.  I do wish that you could see the outfit on Weston a little better but I think it is a nice keepsake picture for them.  Who knows, maybe my grandson will hold this picture one day while wearing the outfit.

 Recently, and thanks to Pinterest, I have gotten really into making things.  Actually, it started with Weston's  party and then Pinterest added to it.  I'm actually having a lot of fun doing it but it takes quite a bit of time. The major project I had for Weston's party was the "army of sock monkeys" as Mike liked to call them.  I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of them

I'm still too tired to write much so I'll just let the pictures tell you about the party! Birthday Birthday Party I will write a more detailed post about the party later.  I'll also post pictures of one of the sock monkeys that I made.  I'll get a little bit of a break after everyone leaves tomorrow, I kind of can't wait.  Is that mean? Here is his "short" slideshow

He turned one!  We had a wonderful day with the little man.  He had his first haircut, a nice dinner, both grandmas and a piece of cake. The party is tomorrow so I'll do a more thorough update after that.  I've been going non-stop until this very moment trying to make sure everything is ready.  I can't wait to share pictures with you so check back soon!  Here is one to

We're almost at the year mark which means I need to get my butt in gear making these sock monkeys.  They are taking much longer than I had anticipated.  I'll get there though...I'm determined to finish. I'm getting really excited for his party.  We found out that some unexpected guests will be coming in from out of town to attend! We went apple picking yesterday and had such a

I can't believe we have officially entered the birthday month!  This time last year, I was dreaming of when my baby boy would make his appearance. We had just found out that Mr. Weston was breech and were scheduled to go through the lovely experience of an external cephalic version on 9/2/10. Today, Weston is walking, talking, crawling, and voicing his opinions like they're going out of

How did we get here so fast?  Watch out for next month, I'll likely be a sentimental, blubbering mess. LOL

I'm almost scared to say it out loud but I actually feel happy.  Like, really happy.  All my life, whenever I thought things were starting to go right, something happened.  I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop but today, today I feel happy.  I have a wonderful husband that works really hard for his family, I have a gorgeous son that is smarter than anyone knows and

I know this might be confusing to some, given my previous post, but I have decided to stop taking the Zoloft.  I was on such a small dose as it was and I really have been feeling so much better lately. I do, on occasion, have a bad day (like the other day) but for the most part I am happier than I have been since I can remember. This is something that I have been thinking about for a long

I would like to think that I've got my ppd pretty much under control these days.  So much so that I have considered coming off the Zoloft to see how I really am...then that one day happens.  That day that I let it get the best of me.  It's a somber reminder that this takes time.  I'm happy to say that the good days far outweigh the bad days but those bad days can really bring

The blogging thing that is.  It has been almost an entire MONTH since I last updated.  My only excuse is that life gets in the way sometimes.  We have been across the country and back, visited the beach, and some other "insane" stuff. Cross-country We went all the way to San Fransisco and back with Weston a few weeks ago.  He was such a trooper and wasn't really affected by

My baby boy is 9 months old today.  Where has the time gone and what happened to my baby!  He has changed so much over these last 9 months and it is amazing how fast time has gone by.  I love him more every day and have learned so much from him.  I can only hope that I can give back to him what he has given to me. My sweet boy   He decided that he was going to

I just can't seem to find the time energy to write more often.  Now, I have so much to update and I can't think of it all.  We are getting ready for our upcoming San Francisco trip.  I am really excited to see the city because everyone who has ever been loves it there.  While I am excited for it, I am also dreading it because of the 5+ hour plane ride and what it is going to

That's about as excited as I'm going to get.  It's so funny that Birthdays are less and less exciting as you get older.  Really, it's just another day for me.  When I was younger, my mom would make sure it was OUR day.  We didn't have to lift a finger around the house (which was a real treat with a mom that worked long hours and a family with five children).  These days,

We just got back from our first beach trip as a family of three!  I was so excited to introduce the beach to Weston because it is one of my favorite places to be.  We were in the Outer Banks for two nights for my friends wedding.  Too short in my opinion, but fun nonetheless.  I will be adding pictures to this post as soon as they get loaded to the computer. Weston loved the

And where did my baby go?  I haven't been a very good blogger lately but I just can't seem to find the time.  The little man is all over the place now and rarely takes a decent nap so he keeps me pretty busy during the day and I am just exhausted at night. We have our first beach trip this weekend and I can't wait!  The water will be too cold but I'm excited to see what Weston

Today starts the beginning of our new normal as a family.  Mike will be traveling every week and only home on the weekends. I really didn't give it much thought until he said goodbye this morning. I got a bit teary eyed when he said bye to Weston.  I think that is the hardest part, knowing that they will be apart so much.  I'm so grateful that we have Google Talk and Skype so they

I updated Weston's Watch Me Grow page (link above) with his new picture and stats. My little boy has really turned into a little boy.  He dropped down to the 25th percentile for weight and 50th for height.  I never expected him to be tall since neither of his parents were really blessed in the tall genes.  Time will tell where he will end up though. He has decided that he wants

Anyone want to come clean my house?  I seriously don't know how I am going to get this done in time for the in-law's visit.  I tried cleaning when I was actually at home today and Weston has decided that he is now terrified of the vacuum.  He has been around it weekly since he was born so I don't know what's so scary about it now. Weston had to say goodbye to his first friend

We went to Pittsburgh for my nephew's second birthday this past weekend and my mom came back with us so I haven't been online much and probably won't be until she goes home.  I can't believe my nephew is already two years old.  It seems like he was born just yesterday.  I'm so happy that I have been able to be there for each of his birthdays, including his actual birth.  I

I downloaded a trial of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 this weekend and I absolutely must have it.  The only problem is that it costs about $249.00!!!  The hubs says no way right now.  I plan to take full advantage of my 30-day trial though and maybe one day I can get it. I am also trying really. really hard to talk him into letting me sell our two current cameras to

I am beyond excited about the weather lately.  I love that it has been so nice.  It almost reached 80 today!  Needless to say we spent some time hanging outside today. Weston also had avocado for the first time today!  I'm pretty sure he liked it.  It was slippery so he had a hard time picking them up but he did ok. Eventually he decided it was easier to smash the

This morning we decided to head out early and hit up Jammin Java for their kids show.  My Mom's Meetup group set it up so that we saved a little bit of money on the cover.  I wasn't sure how much Weston would get out of it but he seemed to have a good time. He was jumping up and down on my lap for most of it until he got tired.  Luckily the show was just about over.  It was
