Everything Ernst

Right now at our house, we are busy! I'm starting to really look forward to fall (my favorite season), but am also getting really anxious about school starting. Most importantly, we are busy spending time with Isaiah. We marvel at him daily, so many moments we are caught in, loving him and being fascinated by him. Here are a few of the most recent shots of him playing. He's getting so big and in about a month will be ONE! He has 3 new teeth and is saying "mom, dad, hi, bye, bo-bo (that's a short "o" like in bottle), do (dog), tat (cat), no, be-but (belly button), tratr (tractor), mmm (moo), b-a-a-a (like a sheep)". He is taking steps too. The most he has taken at once is 12. Hard to believe that last year at this time he was still in my belly!

Some other things I have going on are getting ready for school to start, planning Isaiah's birthday party (and making some things), pulling ideas/resources for an upcoming bridal shower, working on my master's, and since this isn't enough, I bought some material and am making curtains for the living, dining, and kitchen. I have NEVER sewed before. I don't know what I'm thinking. My mom came over last night, along with her sewing machine, to get me started. I have to say that I don't think it's going to be too bad, just time consuming. We finished one panel last night.
This is the material for the living room. The material for the dining room is the same print, but it has a red background and the print is in white.


Here's the panel hanging in the living room. Not too bad for a beginner, right? I'll post more pics when I finish!


Looking forward to getting caught up (does that ever happen?) and soaking in the upcoming fall season with the ones I love.
