Newest home photos

Living room: This room is pretty complete... I may put some more candles on the mantle and we may get some type of furniture for next to the front door but Im pretty happy with it.

Levi's Space Room: We decorated his room based on his favorite book "Joey and Jett Go To Space".

Steve cut out all the rockets out of plywood and painted them. He also made Levi's bed frame.

Almost complete: We may hang some planets above the chair and put some shelves and possibly some pictures up.

Master bedroom:

This is our room and where the new baby will be staying :) I co sleep with my babies anyways so I doubt the cradle with be used all that much but it will be nice to have somewhere safe and Levi-free that the baby can be in :) (Plus how adorable is it, I couldnt resist).

Cradle: I bought on craigslist and painted

Our bed: Steve made the "floating" frame. Bedding is from West Elm

Side table: I refinished and painted

Frames: I bought black and creme frames from Urban Outfitters and re painted (to match the flying birds I painted on the opposite wall)

Our home

So we moved in early July and we were able to paint (we are still renting) and we were so excited. Here are some photos as we work on our home!

So this is our home as of October 15th: :)

Living/dining room:

This is obviously before we put up photos and shelves (and the house is a mess) but the shelves are on the wall to the right of the fireplace :)

Master bedroom (also where the cradle and changing table is for Little Bean-coming Feb2012)

A Beautiful Day...

Last week, when I was 17 weeks exactly we went to my appointment, heard my Little Beans heart beat and then we had a fun photoshoot at a beautiful location: Here are some of the photos

Avocados

Im baaaaaaack

Okay so Im back. Its been far far far too long. I got way caught up in photography for a while and had 5 weddings over the summer. It was way too much and I got burnt out.

I quit.

Well.... Im taking a break. I have many reasons for this and feel its best for me and my family now.

With that being said. I have some pretty excited news. A LOT has happened since June. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT.

June was absolutely crazy.

First, Steve went out on his own with his drywall business so that was very stressful and put us in some debt but we knew it was a sacrifice that would be worth it in the end.

Then, June 10th I found out some very very very exciting news:

If you know us well, youd know we've always wanted a large family and to have all our kids close together. I remember after Levi was born I said "Itd be ideal to wait until he's 6 months but I definitely want to get pregnant before he's 9 months".

HA.

God must have had different plans.

So 26 months after having Levi, I found out I was pregnant with our Little Bean [due 2.21.12] and we are beyond excited.

So, not even a week later, the guy upstairs flooded his condo (at 11pm at night) and destroyed most of our ceiling in the kitchen, living room and bathroom. We were moved out within 3 days and were homeless for a short time before finding our new awesome condo. Its a working progress but Ill add more photos of that later.

So anyways, those three things happened in June and it was a lot. We have questioned Gods timing and wondered why but we know He has a great plan and we cant wait to meet our new baby.

Okay..... ANOTHER blog.

So.... I have created a blog just for my vegan recipes. I have had so many people asking for recipes and for me to share tips that I wanted to create a blog just dedicated to that :) Ill probably still share some vegan stuff here also but if you would like, Id love to have you as a follower.
