Our First Tooth Lost!

Mary has lost her first tooth!! It's been loose for a few weeks. This morning it was pretty loose and she played with it for a bit and about an hour later it was out! She is pretty proud of herself. We will see what the tooth fairy bring her tonight!
The tooth is so tiny.

Garage

I give a lot of credit to my husband for this one.
Most people I know can, will, be jealous of this one. This is our nice and clean garage. Kevin spent all day getting it organized and clean. We have always parked both cars in the garage, but now we really can w/out a problem!! Thank you babe!!
-there is a chair and the bike there because we were sitting out and enjoying the nice summer night!!

Big Girl Bedroom

Mary and Teresa have a new bed in their room. Teresa was started to outgrow her toddler bed. A good friend of ours passed down this bed before Mary was even born. My parents have been storing it for us. We finally pulled it out and put it up. The girls LOVE IT!
Mary sleeps up top in a twin and Teresa now sleeps in Mary's old bed, full size, below.
Sitting and reading bed time stories on Teresa's bed.

Teresa is so happy to have her own big bed now

It was an OK night. They were all excited and played in the bed all day. That night they didn't really want to go to bed. A little new and scary. I had to lay with Teresa until they fell asleep. They did stay in their all night, thankfully. And they woke up saying it was all good! YIPEEE!!

Awesome First Week Of School

My little kindergartner, Mary, has had an awesome first week of school. Every day I pick her up she said she has had a fun day! I put her in an after school program, which gives me until 3:15, and she loves that too. That makes mommy's day awesome as well!
This new stage in our lives has taken one good turn! We are all happier, even Teresa. She loves having time to play with all Mary's toys while she is not home. And when they get back together they are like best friends and play so well together.
I hope this all keeps up! I think I can get used to all this. = )

Our Big Kindergarten Mary

Today was Mary's first day of Kindergarten! She was so excited. I think I was more excited than her though. She did great. She let me get her all cute and pretty.

Teresa had to stand with her in front of the school sign. So cute.

She went right into her room and found her name and told me to go! Such a big girl. Teresa wanted to stay and play with the toys.Mary was so excited when I picked her up. She said, more than once, that she's loved school and that it was awesome! She can't wait to go back tomorrow!! YEAH!!

Lincoln Howard Lundgren

I would like to introduce you to my nephew, Lincoln Howard Lundgren. He's the most precious thing. He was born August 25th at 2:47pm. He was 7 pounds and 7 ounces and 20 inches long. Such a cutie pie.


Below is the first time I got to meet him. Such a peanut.

The proud new mommy!

The proud new daddy.

The new Lundgren family.

The proud papa with his first grandson, with his middle name!

The proud Nana!

And the proud Aunt Bean!

The kids were so excited to meet their new cousin.

Teresa was so cute. In the picture below she is saying 'hi' to him.

They loved holding him.

Teresa was very excited to hold him, as you can see.

Here is baby's first home.

And here is where is bedroom is. Amy was very creative in making a space for him. It is right next to her side of the bed in the closet. The bassinet fits in there just perfect!

We love that little guy so much already. He's so sweet and doesn't make any peeps. Can't wait to spoil him rotten!!

Being Cork Creative

While we were in Paso I saw this cork wreath at one of the wineries. Well, I said "I CAN DO THAT!" And I have! Here is my new craft. It's easy and cheap to make. I am recycling my corks as well! I'm pretty proud of myself!

This one, below, is made all out of Christian Lazo corks. We are good friends with this winery, and I had her send me a box of corks. This is my Christian Lazo wreath!

I am a cork wreath making fool! If you want one, let me know! I'll make them free for now, but once I get my product out there, they'll cost. Great Christmas presents. *HINT HINT* = )
