Update

I appologize I've been aweful at updating my blog! I will try to be better. :)

Celeste turns 10 months today! I can't believe it! I tried to take her 9 month pictures a couple weeks ago. Since she's become mobile, it's MUCH harder to get a good picture. Here are a few, even though they aren't great pictures of her.

Yesterday Celeste had the flu. She is acting like she feels much better today, so I tried to take a few more pictures this morning. (Same outfit, I know!)

Maybe the day after the flu bug wasn't the best idea! We'll try again another day!

Our other news is we're repainting and putting in a new floor in our kitchen/dining room. That's today's project so stay tuned for some before, during, and after pictures!

New Niece

My sister and brother-in-law, Kara and Drew Bott, welcomed their little girl into the world on Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Elsie Bott was born at 7:37 pm weighing 6 lbs 12 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long. She's a cutie!

Congratulations Drew and Kara! We're excited for you.

9 Months Later...

Celeste has stuff on her walls!!

Yes, it's embarrassing that it took me 9 months and there's still one more thing I still need to do I just have to find someone with a router or buy one myself.

I copied these letter blocks out of a catalog. My sweet husband made them for me and I painted them. I think they turned out pretty cute.If you remember, we painted these teal stripes on about the bottom third of the wall and are accenting in pink. (If we have a boy next, we'll accent in a "boy color.") You can kind of see the bedding my mom made us. It has a bed skirt, quilt, and valances to match. Thanks Mom! We have had it since before Celeste was born.

In this corner, there is a decoration my friend, Jena, gave to me (thanks Jena!) and a picture of Christ.

I made this clock at Jena's house a while ago to match Celeste's room.

(This picture makes it look like the walls are blue and the valance is green, but they really do match!)

The walls are still a little plain, but not near as bad anymore! The only thing left is a board with vinyl words that say, "I Am a Child of God."
