Catching Up

I haven't been very good at keeping up with my blog so here's a brief summary of what's been going on the last month.

I finally finished my second semester at school, getting all A's and B's! I go back in about 2 weeks and am officially half way done. I'm really liking school but I kind of want to get it done at this point and start doing what I like to do: Interior Design.

We have been trying to finish up our house so we can put it up for sale. We are getting really close, it's just a matter of getting the main bathroom done, waiting for the grass in the front yard to grow and doing lots of cleaning. Our house isn't messy or anything, it's just not show worthy yet. Hopefully we can sell it quick and move into a better home, one that we both love with a nice yard for our child and furbabies.

We just recently celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on June 23. We spent the morning cleaning up the house. After that we went to the spa and got full body massages. It was amazing. I absolutely love getting massages. Then we went out to eat to this really nice restaurant near our house on a lake. We got some wine, I ate an oyster for the first time and had some might delicious salmon. I can't wait to go back. Later that night we went out for ice cream, it was just what I needed to finish the night.

I have also listed more hair accessories onto my etsy site, Banna's Bows!

I have been on clippie rampage! I have lots of new items including a new summer collection consisting of bright colors. Some of the summer collection is the yellow flower, little miss ladybug, buzzy bees, and watermelon clippies. You can check out my etsy shop if you would like to purchase any of these items and see what else I'm selling. I'm constantly adding things to my shops and I love being creative.

What a busy day!!!

What an exciting day! It was so nice and beautiful out we decided to go have a picnic. This was Annabelle's first picnic. We stopped at Qdoba and got some food cause there is no way we could agree on what kind on sandwich's to make. She was very good while we ate our lunch and she sat there the whole time playing between us. We then put her in the grass and she stood there for quite a while. After she fell down, she wouldn't get on her knees but kept her butt in the air!!! I then walked around the trail with Annabelle while Russ rode around on his bike. We then stopped at the playground and I put her on the swings. After that Russ took her to the swinging bars but that wasn't very successful. We then left after about 2 hours since it was well into the 80's and sunny!

Well Annabelle had her first real boo boo and trip to the Emergency Room! Annabelle has been standing up holding onto things for quite a while and always did that in the bathtub while holding onto the edge. Low and behold, she decided to stand while giving her bath. She would always slip back down to the water with no problem. Not this time, she let go, turned around and fell face first into the tub. Unfortunately I had not grabbed her time to sit her back down like I always do when she stands in the tub. So I scooped her out and called for Russ. He then noticed her eye was bleeding pretty bad. I got her dressed and we rushed to the E.R. at around 9:45pm. They took her blood pressure, checked her oxygen and assessed her. She was then admitted to be seen by a doctor. By this time the crying had stopped and she was all smiles. That didn't last long when it was time to close the wound on her eyelid. There were 4 nurses, 1 doctor, and Russ and I holding her down while the doctor placed steiristrips on her wound. The wound was about 3/4 inch long. It was very heartbreaking standing there helpless holding her down with tears and tears flowing down her face. After getting all the tiny strips on, they placed a Peyton Manning Children's Hospital bandaid on top. She was back to smiles after they were done. She then got a brand new blanket from one of the nurses and we left. We didn't get home until around midnight and she luckily went right to sleep. It's been almost 2 days now since the accident and she hasn't messed with the bandaid. We had a sock on her right hand the first day to keep her from prying the bandaid off but luckily we got to take it off her soon. The bandaid is still on and she's still not allowed to have a bath. They said it's going to be very tender for about a month before it's fully healed! Poor girl, she is definately handling it very well!!!

Outdoor Photo Op

We had a little outdoor photo shoot today! She got to wear some new bows and such. The pictures were also taken outside in honor of EARTH DAY!!! She is so lovely wearing a white tunic shirt and black yoga pants. You can see her little toes in some of the pictures which I love so much. She really enjoyed looking all around her and even got a little dirty.
