I had planned on detailing the products I put on Etsy, however I received news yesterday that a friend passed away. Dan Thompson was my Pastor when I lived in Lincoln.
Times like this make me think and contemplate eternity and heaven. I am so grateful for the input Dan had in my life and the foundations he helped to instill in me. I am literally eternally grateful that I will see him again. This is my comfort during this time where feelings of loss threaten to overwhelm.
My heart goes out to his wife, kids, and congregation.

Unusual Valentines Weekend
Well, I am sure I won't get online tomorrow so I am taking advantage of a few moments this morning.
Last year, tomorrow (2/13/09) I found out I was pregnant. C and I went to Columbia so he could take his EMT test and we had fun just trying to wrap our minds around the fact that we were finally having a baby. It took us awhile. I didn't realize then that the quiet evening dining and back at the hotel snuggling (I was tired), that we had that day was out last Valentines day just the two of us. Yes we may ship the kids off for a Valentines day in the future but we will have a kid to come home to or pick up for a long time and when they all move out (yes, I am planning on having more already) we will still not be "just the two of us" and I love that!
Anyway, with a 4 month old that is still nursing and needs quite a bit of attention we decided to not try to go to the Church Marriage retreat, rather we are watching my brother's three kids overnight and a good friends two little girls for a couple hours.
The plan for them is a afternoon of decorating sugar cookies, possibly playing out in the snow, and possibly making valentines. Tomorrow we will be doing "scavenger hunts" for the valentines they make for each other and a nice-ish breakfast and an afternoon of wii, playing outside (C will be here so he can help with it then), and eagerly looking for Mom and Dad to come home.
Not a typical Valentines weekend but we will have our family Valentines Sunday evening. We will be doing steak, Oreos, a side dish and a movie. Camping out on the living room floor till bed time. Pretty sure we will enjoy our evening even if we aren't out at a hotel or a restaurant. Especially if I get some spray whip cream. :)
Fun times... busy times.

So many ideas...
I have the two baby sets I started two weeks ago almost done. As soon as I find my camara I will post pictures. Anyway, I think they are cute. The pink has bright green turtles on it and the two layers of the blanket are held together by yarn ties. The yellow has a mischeivious monkey playing. I am not sure how I will hold the two layers of the blanket together but I will hopefully figure it out soon. I should probably finish these before I start on anything else but I have been looking at how to make homemade babylegs (legwarmers for babies, ideal for potty training or when it starts to warm up but isn't quite warm enough for shorts). And I figured out how to make my first baby quilt. And I found a simple way to make baby pants. And I want to finish crocheting C's camo blanket. And... And...
So my goal is to finish the two projects I started, take pictures of them, and get them ready to ship so Daddy can post them on E-bay or I can post them on Etsy by Friday midmorning. Then I can start on something else. I would put that goal at tomorrow (Thursday) morning but with a baby in a growth spurt I am not sure that would be realistic.
