Getting Settled!!!

Life's finally getting a bit more settled for Blair and I!!! We've been in our new apartment for about three weeks now and are liking it more and more. We really enjoyed our weeks at my parents house, but have really been excited to be back in our own place and getting a little bit of the regular rhythm of life back.

Blair's been subbing every day at all kinds of schools around the tri-cities area. He's staying busy, getting more experience in the classroom, and meeting a lot of principals and teachers along the way!! Hopefully these things will all give him a step up on getting a full time teaching position in the future. But for now, subbing is working out great!!

As for the belly profile, I finally caved at the request of a few friends. I'm growing more and more every day! I absolutely love the company of this little guy! He's always making his presence known by kicking and squirming, and I LOVE IT! It's crazy how time flies...he'll be here before we know it! Halloween tomorrow, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then....BABY!

I thought it would be fun for Blair and I to paint pumpkins! I have never been a huge lover of carving pumpkins, but give me a paint brush and I get really excited! Bet you can't tell what's on my mind these days!

And Blair's pumpkin! Any guesses...? That's right, it's a Volcano! His right brain took him in a much different direction than did mine. It was fun to watch his creativity brewing :)

And just a few random pictures of our new apartment! This one in particular is from the living room into the dining area. It's nice to have a bit more room around our table! We don't have to rearrange our couches to seat more than two people around the table!!!

A quick shot of the living room. It's starting to feel more and more like home!

A little creative usage of storage space. I have a lot of canned food from this summer (thanks again mom for your coaching and help), and decided above my cupboards in the kitchen would be a fun place to store it...well at least some of it.

And the drumroll please....well I guess you already saw the picture. A WASHER AND DRYER of our very own. I searched forever on craigslist and found a nice and cheap set! That's been a luxury I have missed!

And finally, this is a little peek at the quilt I just finished for baby Eyre's crib. I decided on a "lil buckaroo" theme for the nursery (slash office) and when I found this fabric I fell in love! I'm still working on some more projects, but this is the fabric I'm theming them all around!

So there's a random taste of what Blair and I have been up to!
