logan's doll house.

and soon to be nora's doll house as well...


since a few of you have asked....here is an up close and personal look at the doll house we made and gave logan for christmas.  up top, i recreated logan's and nora's room with the polka dots and triangles (pics coming soon of nora's nursery!).  we also had some left over wall paper from our master bedroom, so we reused that for our dollhouse bedroom.  the other decorative paper is from paper source and michaels.  while i was cursing this project on christmas eve at 1am being nine months pregnant, we really did have such a blast working on it.  and logan seems to enjoy it too - win win!

one month. {nora james}


sweet girl,

one month already!  time is flying by and what a wonderful month it has been.  words cannot really express how thankful and grateful we are that you arrived healthy and safely on jan. 7th.  to say that your dad and i were "emotional" in the delivery room is a great understatement.  we are just so very happy you have graced us with presence and joined our little family.

you are cooing and even smiling a ton already; and although we know those smiles are just reflexes that this point, they still make us so very happy.  so keep them up!  you seem to rotate between days where you are super sleepy and those where you are alert for LONG periods of time only taking a few cat naps.  you are sleeping three or four hour chunks at night and we hope it just continues to get better from here.  you also loved to be held by me, daddy and your big sister.  you are sure to be a tough one with all the snuggles, hugs, kisses and cramming of your paci into your mouth by your big sister.   

you, sweet girl, have made our family a family of four!  we are loving all the adventures and amazing amounts of love you have already brought into our family.  and we just cannot wait for more....more adventures!  more love!  more joy!

we love you beyond words sweet nora,

your mama

life lately {in pictures}.

 sweet nora
{who is sleeping a ton...like they do in that newborn phase 
and giving us 3 or 4 hour stretches at night!
fingers crossed it continues to get better from here!}

thankful for these beautiful days in january.
