Projects 2014

Hey Friends!

We've been battling sickness in this house since Christmas. I took the boys urgent care last Thursday night since nothing was making them better. Thank God I did. They both had RSV and Lincoln had an ear infection! Thankfully, they're both getting better and acting like themselves. They still have a runny nose and cough, but their appetite is back up and they're playing like crazy.

So, I've made the decision to go back to Grad School! EEEKK!! I'm in the process of completing the application and getting all of my transcripts and recommendation letters in order. I'll keep you posted. I'm excited to go back but I'm going to miss being at home with my babies! But, this will be good. My boys need to know that anything is possible and that there's nothing they can't do. Hopefully Jesse and I are setting that example for them. 

SO, I've came up with several projects to do this year. I've been stalking Pinterest and coming up with decorating ideas for our house. I still haven't gotten all this house looking the way I want it to. You'd think that I would have done that when we moved in... but I was pregnant and tired and just didn't have the time. But now, I'm making it a mission to get this house the way I want it. It's going to take some time and I'm going to do room by room. That way I don't get overwhelmed and our bank account doesn't suffer too much in the process. I have all these ideas and I can't wait to make them come to life! 

My next project is making photo books with all of the pictures that are stored on our computer. My plan is to do one for each of the boys' first year of life. I've already started on Gabe's and am almost done with it. Obviously, Lincoln isn't a year old yet, so we won't be ordering his any time soon. haha. I plan on making Gabe another book with pictures from his 1st birthday and up. It's taking me some time to get all of our pictures uploaded. I used Snapfish since most of my pics were already uploaded to it. My laptop is still Out of Order- so I'm going to have to wait until it gets fixed to completely finish the books. There are a lot of pictures on my computer that I need to upload still. I still have to order the book I made from our wedding. Man, it'll be 3 years this month and I still haven't ordered it. Fail. haha. 

Another project is converting this blog into a book to print for us to keep. As I've always said, I intend for this blog to primarily be for my kids- to be like a baby book for them. I want them to have their life and memories documented forever. So, I've started the process of converting the first year of this blog to a book. I still have A LOT of editing to do- to make sure all of the pictures look right and are in the right post. I plan on doing a year or so at a time for each made. I started this blog in April 2011. The first book will be April 2011-December 2012. The next will be Jan 2013-December 2013... and so on. As you can probably imagine, this isn't cheap to do. So, getting one at a time will be the best bet. haha. 

Well, it's about time for me to head to bed. My 2 little boys like to get up extra early!
