Several things being addressed on my 29 Before 30 List these past two weeks.
Got some decor for our master bedroom finally. Still far from finished because the big items we want are out of our budget right now.
We hiked another state park today : Burgess Falls. Today was our first trail hike with the new phil&ted backpack for Erabelle to ride. We were using our BECO carrier previously, but I just felt like she couldn't really look around like she wanted to and would just end up falling asleep through most of the hike. Well, the sleep part didn't change much, but she did get to reach out and play with some leaves as Daddy passed by the trees. It was a gorgeous trail, even though parts were under construction. Flood damage from over a year ago is still going through the business side of things to be repaired. We were also some of the only ones of the trail when we started. It's times like these that I appreciate my husband being such an early bird. We stood on an overlook for several moments just taking in the scenery and pondering what it used to look like all alone, just the five of us. Then we hiked down to the top of the falls and followed the river upstream for a ways.
I worked on a scrapbook for my MiL for her birthday. I made a short book of the 6 month family photos we had taken with EB back in July. I learned through that experience of physically scrapbooking that I enjoy the digital counterpart much better. The commitment level is so much lower. I longed for the undo and resize options more than once while slaving over the tiny 8 page scrapbook. Safe to assume that I will be using digital tools from now on when it comes to scrapbooks. I've made two previously, and have not been disappointed.
New firsts for EB - She's getting her second tooth coming in just a week behind the first. She hasn't been too miserable about it, either. She's getting really brave with her standing and cruising also. Today, she let go of the window she was holding onto and stood for a few seconds before sitting down to crawl to another window at Memaw's house. A few nights ago, she did the same thing with Jared. She was standing up, holding onto his hands. When he let go, she held herself for a brief moment and then sat down to climb back up his knee.
Item yet to be addressed - new sport! Jared and I are going kayaking next Saturday. Jared has already been down this river and said it should be fun for me as well. In a related note, Deliverance is on Netflix. Would now be a bad time to watch it?
I've got big plans this week to make one of Jared's old Bama t-shirts into a pillowcase dress for EB. She needs some Alabama gear for the season and it's way too expensive to buy the cute stuff that I really want.
