Psketti

We went to Derek's squad party on Saturday afternoon, then we went and picked up some sweet patio furniture I found on Craig's list. Libby was so tired and hungry when we got home. She couldn't decide if she was more tired or hungry though, so she kept eating psketti (not to be confused with spaghetti, this is a secret family recipe that is basically spaghetti but cooked all in one pot), then rubbing her eyes. So funny afterward when she had a red eyebrow.

Name Choice...

Well, Derek and I haven't offically been to Macaroni Grill where we can write all our name options on the table cloth to finalize our decision (that was where we decided on Libby's name) but we think we have it...

Libby's Sunday Morning

Libby is starting to take one or two steps holding only one hand. You can see she is standing hesitantly while I am holding just one hand to take this picture. I think she will be walking pretty soon. I don't know how much I look forward to this, actually. It will make life much more dangerous. Also I got this great pic of her trying to crawl and getting caught up in her dress. She gets so frustrated! It is too funny.

Living Room

This room is taking shape, except for the lack of furniture. I love the glass display cases (they have lights inside). One side is Asian stuff, mostly Japanese from Derek's mission. The other side is European from my travels and mission.

There are a few too many globes around the fireplace. Once I have more stuff to set them on, they will get better homes :)

More Decor...

While Derek was at wrestling camp I worked on some decor. I finished the "impressionist" master bath and the master bedroom. The master bedroom is the story of Derek and I together and an Al Rounds print courtesy of my mom (not pictured) and some Monet prints.

What a Difference a Year Makes

Last year at the fourth of July Pancake Breakfast...

This year...OH HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED IN OUR LITTLE LIVES! For the better, of course. (Some things do stay the same, though, it seems. I am pretty pregnant again, and Emmi did admit that she is wearing the same shirt again, just pinned this year.)

Libby Eats an Apple

Today I accidentally knocked down our fruit hanger in the kitchen. While I was working on fixing the puzzling thing she snagged an apple. I looked over to see this... Then when I decided to take a picture of her with her trail of apple bits, she did this...as if to say, don't take a picture of my mess! (But I really think she was saying, that camera looks tastier than my Albertson's apple...has anyone else noticed that Albertson's has horrible produce?)
Then I handed her the apple again and she did this...

I love my girl!
