Baby model...

You might remember that a few months back Jesse and I made some cute little onesies for his newest nephew Landon. We decided to make 6-9month size  since we were a little late in sending our gift. Good thing we did, because this kid is growing like a weed. Jesse's sister just posted some pictures of the "little" guy wearing our onesies. He's just over over 3months and he's already in 6-9 month clothes. Jeesh! When I saw the pictures I was so excited! Jesse was half asleep, but I woke him up squealing with delight at the adorableness of them. We both agreed that Landon makes a great baby model. Check it out for yourself.





Ok, so obviously this was our first attempt... Note to us: Next time use stretching print material, because babies tend to have little Buddha bellies. We hope to have a print press and to be able to start making more professional ones sometime in the near future. 


Thanks to Linsey for sharing these pictures! and Thanks to Landon for being our adorable guinea pig/ model!

Celebrating...

Last year for New Year's Eve we did a whole lot of nothing... in fact I think we were asleep before the ball dropped. December 2009 was rough and we did a lot of traveling right around that time, so we were pretty exhausted and generally not in the celebrating spirit. This year we decided we wanted to celebrate the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011... as Jesse would say "The Year of Us." Our old neighbors Mary & Chris, who we haven't seen in ages, invited us out to Lucky Strike for some bowling. Even though the service was below par and the free champagne at midnight was not so great we still had a good old time. We only had enough time to bowl 1 game through, but you will never guess who the winner was.... Yep! That's right me. I creamed them all, even Chris, who said he wasn't getting beat by a girl. I had 7points on him and no one else was anywhere close to touching me. I only bowled a 128, but I took it as a sign that this year is going to be a good year for me. It was nice to be out celebrating the new year with old friends and meeting new ones. I'm so glad Mary & Chris called us. I think we... I really needed that.



Hope you all had a good time ringing in the new year... 
However you chose to celebrate. Some years it's better to sleep in and others you just feel like celebrating.
