Here it is...my 18 week pregnant belly. Seemingly bigger with this one at 18 wks than I was with the boys. Sigh.

Now that I'm feeling more like myself, I've started sewing again. While the boys napped, I spent an afternoon cutting out a pattern for a smock apron. I've wanted to make one for awhile but haven't had the chutzpa until lately. My "sewing room" is the kitchen floor. It works...for now. After the boys went to bed that night, I sewed it together.

I'm quite pleased with myself and the result. I learned how to sew pleats and how to apply double-fold binding to a raw edge. Sadly, I won't be able to wear it much longer due to my growing bump. I'll add that to my list of things to look forward to after the baby is born. The list so far, besides having a new little one: beer and wearing my smock apron :)

Smiggy-diggy.

Amos. Couldn't you just eat him up?

A new activity...coloring. They enjoy it for almost 5 whole minutes. Whew! These boys wear me out.

As you can see, we still have quite a bit of snow at our house. We actually get more than the rest of Bozeman based on our proximity to the foothills. I am so. over. snow. But, I am telling myself that my yard will be greener longer :)

Silver lining? The boys LOVE to shovel.

Love to you all and we look forward to seeing many of you this weekend at Rob and Addie's wedding...yippee!
