100 Sales

My ETSY store offically reached 100 sales today :-). YAY!!!! Here is to 100 more :-).

I started this store after some prompting from Chad and my good friend Gina who came to our house and saw my "Home Sweet Home" I had made for our living room and asked me to make one like it for her new home. Of course I was happy to do it for her and thus started my ETSY store. I have played around doing some Save the Dates and such but they weren't doing as well as the letters and ornaments so I took them off and am going to reattach them w/a different design offering. I am currently working on my first Wedding Invitation order so I will be expanding my offerings here shortly to include Wedding Invitation and possibly other wedding paper products. I will be doing escort cards, table number and beverage sings for another customer who I had done save the dates for. So there is lots of room for growth. We will just see where this takes us :-).

In the next week or two I will be adding "Baby Book" that I have been hard at work on. I will post a sneak peak below :-).

This is the book I am making for Evan

I am making Taryn a Cherry Blossom Book but dont have her book covered yet but this is what her interior pages will look like

Swimming #3

So here is the video from the end of their 3rd week of lessons...they are doing awesome. The instructor says that Taryn has the an awesome float and Evan has an awesome flip and they both are awesome swimmers :-). Also when they see the steps neither one of them want to flip they keep wanting to swim but she is trying to teach them to flip and rest until they get close and then flip back over and grab the step. There are still lots of tears but they are doing better.

And all the world is right again when they get to sit in their stroller and munch on some cheerios. The first few days were really hard because they would fuss while I was taking care of the other one. So I started bring stuff to distract them and the Munchie Mugs were the magic trick. They love them and are totally content munching on some Cheerios holding their Munchie Mugs :-)

View from the Top

So remember the post where Chad explained Evan's love of climbing...well...here it is in pictures...and I promise you that I did not help him at all...this is 100% Evan LOL. I couldn't believe my eyes as he climbed straight up and sat down like that was his purpose all along. He seemed so proud and happy on top of his perch. No worries I was sitting right by him as he made is ascent...well except for when I got up to get the camera :-). We definitely have to keep a close eye on this little guy.

Cute Videos

Taryn does this super funny thing when she eats...she likes to shoves as much in her mouth as she can as fast as she can it hilarious....well to me anyway, you can judge for yourself :-)

And this is just to show that they do like water...Taryn learned the concept of splashing last week and loves to splash her brother :-)

Swimming #2

Here is the latest from Fridays lesson. They are getting a little better but still hate every second

of it :-(

Swim Lessons

The kids had their first lesson yesterday. They did well all things considered. Evan puked all over me when it was all over...I guess he told me LOL...I feel like I have offically been initiated into motherhood :-). I will be able to tape each Friday's lesson and then the final lesson. I think it will be fun to see how much they improve along the way and I hope they learn to love it :-)
