The latest update in our kitchen before we start gutting it!!! We replaced our nasty little off white oven from the 70's and replaced it with the cutting edge new Whirlpool appliances! It's awesome and has so many capabilities, I need a book just to learn how to use both of them!!! YAY!!!

I can't believe little nutty is 3 mos. already! I'm doing her photos in 3 month slots, so her next shots will be at 6 mos. She's getting so big and you can really tell from the photos! I can't wait to pick them up at Sears!!!!

So in love

God has blessed us with an amazing little girl named Lorelei. She is the perfect child for Jason and I and I can see how God knew what he was doing when He created her for us. She is such a joy to be around all the time, don't get me wrong she has her moments, but for the most part she's just chilled out and laid back like her Mommy & Daddy. Lorelei knows how to go with the flow, she's flexible like a birch tree and she's always so happy! Everyday I see wonder in her eyes as she explores her world around her, she lights up when she see's the photos on our fridge or when we walk by one of my paintings hanging on the wall. She's so curious and wants to be involved in every aspect of my day. I didn't know we could fall so totally and completely in love with a baby like we have with her. When we're not with her we feel lost, so strange!! I never thought we'd be like that. She's amazing and I can't wait to see her flourish and become a Proverb's 31 woman as she grows older. Having a baby certainly changes everything, but for the better!! I love you Peanut you are our world!

Another custom necklace from my friend who does jewelry. Everyone knows my infamous nickname, Cliché Aimée because I'm constantly screwing up clichés! So I had a necklace made. The front says Beware, and the insides say I am a ... Cliché Killer LOL

Lorelei's Easter trip to Florida


Sunny Day Lorelei

Well we're back in NY and what was greeting us this morning???? SNOW!!! I know it won't be here long but geesh, it's supposed to be spring!!!! OK enough rambling about snow.

We had a great trip to FL! You know how I was worried about Peanut freaking out and us getting dirty looks on the plane? Well I was worried for nothing, she was absolutely AMAZING! We were so proud of her, no screams or cries at all on the plane, just happy time and sleep time. She slept through turbulence and the landing on both ways!!! I've been calling her my portable baby because she did so great on the trip. Jason and I are so proud of her and how she did. She met most of the extended family on Easter when we went to see them in Deltona. She had so much fun and was mostly smiles the whole time we were there.

Grandma and Grandpa were great, they house was set up similar to home. Grandma went all out and bought baby gear to make her and us feel at home. She had a swing, a tub, slept in a pack n play, had a bouncy seat and also her own outdoor tent for when we were outside. That made a world of difference and I think is the reason why she adjusted so well and was able to stay on schedule. Thanks so much Grandma!!! While we were there we noticed that Lorelei has started teething and sucking her thumb! That kid is growing so fast!

The trip went by really fast and we were able to see everyone we wanted to see for the most part. We didn't get enough time with Josh & Cynthia or JJ but they all made an effort. It was good to see them when we did.

Jason and I didn't do one thing we thought we would do for ourselves. We went through withdrawel on our last day because we left the nut with Grandma. We wanted to do some clothes shopping for ourselves, where did we end up? Baby Gap, we only shopped for Lorelei and we got a gift for her boyfriend Jackson too. We were so pathetic, we missed her so bad and we were wandering around trying to figure out what we wanted to do but couldn't think of anything. We ended up having coffee at JJ's girlfriend's coffee shop where she works. What a day!

We almost didn't make it to the airport on time but we were blessed when we got there. We accidentally went into the wheelchair line of security oops, anyhoo J asked and we were able to skip the massive crowds through security and just barely get to our gate for the preboarding!!! Thank God!

Anyhoo, we're home and adjusting. :)

My Lorelei Necklace

Look at this gorgeous necklace I had made for myself! I have a friend I met on Etsy who does custom jewelry and she happened to love my artwork so we did a swap, one of my paintings for this necklace and another one so the prices evened out. I just love how it turned out and can't wait to get it!!!! It has garnets (her birthstone), freshwater pearls, and it looks like either turquoise, jade or adventurine stones. It's all sterling silver too! It's absolutely beautiful, this is now my favorite necklace of all!
