BOGO!

Nope, this post isn't about a shoe sale.  It is about a SECOND BABY!  That is right, I am PREGNANT! I have nicknamed #2 BOGO (buy one, get one) because with K we had to go through so much.... years of trying, a small fortune, much heartache, and endless disappointment.  Full story can be found here.  This time around it still took a long time. I only took birth control until K was about 3 months old.  I started taking one medication (that helps with fertility issues) sometime later and about 6 months after that, we were pregnant!  

We found out while we were in Mexico.  I took a pregnancy test at about 4 am and hit Joe a few minutes later to wake him up.  Joe was in complete disbelief (and continued to be for about a month).  I was a little more believing but still shocked that we did it on our own.  Joe kept saying, "This doesn't feel real, who do I need to send the big check to?"

Needless to say, we are THRILLED.  Kam has no idea what is about to hit him!

His shirt says "ONLY CHILD expiring sept 2013"  Thanks Pinterest :)

Card Table Cover

My Mom is amazingly talented with a sewing machine and a little fabric.  She started making card table covers back when I was a little girl.  She keeps improving the designs and making them more and more impressive (and complicated to make).  They are now 2-sided and have so much detail... most of which is completely lost in these pictures.  

Lake, boating, fishing... That fabric is actually woven pieces... amazing!

Our home, animals, college, etc....

"I SPY" ...

Travel...

Top of the table with roads... great for his 243 matchbox cars :)

Monkeys ... includes fabric book

Eric Carle...

School/education...

 Dr. Seuss...

There are 2 openings for him to crawl under and play... the Monkey/Travel side flips up and the I SPY/Education side have streamers to go under.  He LOVES it.  If you look really closely, the amount of time spent is incredible.  The house has so many details that blow me away! 

Thanks, Grandma for this priceless creation!
