A Busy Week
A quick update on my Zoey! Since last weekend she has learned to crawl, sit up on her own and to pull herself to an almost completely standing position. And the 1st tooth is finally coming through, so not much sleep and somewhat grumpy but very snuggly=)

A great bigness!
My Zoey is a mobile girl! Still slow and frustrates easily but she figured out the crawling motion last night and she can move herself in a circle...AAAhh!!!
A bit of catching up...
So sorry to have been neglectful with my updates. Things are going well and we seem to be keeping busy, although some days I'm not sure with what.
Zoey and I had a marvelous time at the Renaissance Fair...I'll try to get the pics up soon. It was so much fun to have a mini vacation. And I can't wait to go back. The shows we saw were so fun and the rest of the time we spent wandering in and out of the shops. I even convinced everyone to get their faces painted. Well, except the babies and Eli insisted on getting it on her arms...like we were embarrassing or something;) But it was loads of fun, especially getting to stay in a hotel...a bed without a gap in the mattresses...who knew there was such a thing! And we went to a local tavern for dinner...pretzel sandwiches are to die for! And Sunday we went shopping at an outlet mall...I found jeans and a shirt :) unfortunately or maybe not the jeans have turned out to be to big so must see about shrinking them a bit but for $10 I can handle a little big. So much fun to be out with just the babies....
Charlotte stayed home with Monkey and had great fun too...they went to church and out to dinner and she got to go to game night w/ the boys...I came home to a very big girl who apparently decided her name is now "charlie" only pronounced more like "sharlie" I guess it could be worse. She is learning her abc's...well, sort of...her favorite letters are o,c, f...so she repeats those a lot.
We hosted our monthly dinner party on Friday. It turned out well. We made roast, potatoes and squash casserole with omah's peach cobbler for dessert. And now I know what I need to get to make the next party more to Ducky standards...so very excited! I even picked out a pfaltzgraff pattern...now I just need to save my dollars...
And I found a new blog which is inspiring a great many ideas for sewing projects...http://craftapple.wordpress.com/ and Moda is putting out so many new fabric lines that I just love...so as soon as I can get rid of this bug of a weird headache I plan to start on Christmas presents!!! So very excited!

Summer is winding down and I'm getting very excited about fall! Cooler weather, sewing projects etc. are being planned... But before that we have a few exciting weeks left of summer. Zoey and I are tagging along on Eli's birthday trip to the PA Renaissance Fair this weekend and I'm sooo excited. And next week is the county fair and I think Charlotte might be big enough for some of the rides and I know she'll love the animal barns. "Cow, beef cow!!!" The things her daddy teaches her!! She is talking so much now and is very expressive with her facial expressions its very cute!!! Zoey was fussing yesterday and I sent Charlotte over to sing to her to try and keep her happy for an extra 30 seconds and she came running back "Mommy Zoey needs you!!!" From the kid who at the beginning of summer could not hardly say a 2 syllable word!!! Oh how fast they grow!!! And my Zoey is now 6 months and sits on her own and can safely get herself from a sitting position to a crawling position. And she can sort of move...kind of looks like an inch worm while doing it and does not get very far ( few inches) before getting very very mad...but its moving!
And my little house is much more functional than it was a few months ago! I've been trying Flylady! And I'm starting the baby steps again because I got sidetracked. But a few weeks ago I had unexpected company and only 1/2 an hour warning and I was able to quickly make it company ready!! So its definite progress and I just have to keep plodding along and reminding myself it doesn't have to be perfect!!! And I don't feel like I'm constantly cleaning and if I do it in 15 minute chunks and take breaks I'm not exhausted and I have time for the kids. I have even learned to cook some more things-- last nite's dinner was hamburgers from scratch and homemade rolls with baked potatoes...it was late but it was good...babysteps!!!
