Lords and Ladies

What a crazy couple of weeks! Well, maybe its only been a week- who knows- it feels like several! We have been a busy crew! I posted that Dani girl is pulling herself up now and boy she is loving it! She loves holding my hands and other objects (couch, chair, etc) and cruisin' around the house! She also has, finally, after weeks and weeks of rocking on her hands and knees, figured out the crawling thing (sorta). She woke up this morning and just started going (again, kinda). Ya know, no matter how many books I read and how many other babies I see doing similar new tasks, I am just constantly amazed by and in awe of her. I sometimes can't grasp how incredible she is and how blessed we are. I have her first day of "crawling" on video but we still cant figure out how tog et these things uploaded, so one of these days you'll see it!

Last weekend, Nate and I decided to go to the Renaissance Festival. I reluctantly went along for the sake of Nate and how much he talks about it and LOVES it. I thought I was in for a day of weirdos and crazies but it turned out to be absolutely one of the most neat experiences. I had SO much fun with my little family. We saw jousting, petting zoos, stocks, tons and tons and tons of celtic trinkets and other nicknacks. I "learned" how to play the digeridoo (my fave) and tried on pirate armor! I could go on and on and on but I just wouldnt be able to do it justice. If you have the opportunity to go to the festival in Larkspur, dont miss it!!

One of my latest and greatest hobbies??? THRIFT STORES! Oh my gosh! I have so much fun! Every day I go is something new and exciting. I have gotten danika SO many toys (probably unneeded toys) that are practically brand stinking new and just need a little spit and shine to spiffy them up. I doubt that I will be buying any new toys for quite a while. I dont have pictures yet of all my "jewels" but I have a lot and I'm oh so proud of them :) I could probably make a good amount of money buy resale on craigslist if I had the upfront! I am SUCH the bargain hunter- come shoppin with me!

Last but not least, I have lost my mind. I know I'm crazy and that's okay! Not knowing what our income is going to look like in, oh, less than 30 days, I have decided to go out on a limb and try cloth diapering. I figured I can save us 50 bux a month by spending a little bit now. I got them in the mail today and cant wait to get them washed up and ready to go! These diaper covers are SO SO SO cute. You better believe there will be pictures of my ultra diapered babe :)
