This week went by so fast! I love spending time with my parents, they are such go-getters. We ate, then ate, then ate. I mean Jeni’s, ML Rose, Jim N Nicks. Y-U-M. That’s not even including the delicious home cooking my mom brought to the table. Ah- I haven’t had cinnamon rolls or chicken and dumplings for so long. But really- my dad put up a beautiful backsplash in our kitchen that is just phenomenal, mom and I had a spa day, we meandered up to Honeysuckle Hill Farm, had an in-family pumpkin decorating contest, and we topped off the week by going to Franklin’s Pumpkinfest this morning. It was so much fun. I’ve never seen Eli laugh so much. We will miss their company and the love and laughter they bring. Only 8 more weeks until we see them again.
That all being said-be ready for a picture overload!
I also made the time to take Kito to the vet. They’re not sure what’s going on with him. They did blood work which was “inconclusive”, but many of their tentative diagnoses are related to prolonged obesity and age. The good news is, he’s not dying. At least they think he’s not dying. He’s on some antibiotics and doggy cough drops and we’ll see if that clears it up.
In other news- I am officially announcing that I am starting a business! I’ve taken your valuable feedback and have created Polished/Homemade, a party-planning, crafting, photography service. My goal is to create a one-stop shop for custom parties by crafting theme-appropriate décor and food. Then, I’m taking it even a step further by documenting the whole affair. Of course, one could pick and choose which services they would like.
Check out the website for more information and like us on facebook for updates and discounts. We’ve got a mini session and a party documentation coming up this next week which will be posted there. We are also doing a party give-away very, very soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Thank you all so much for your encouragement. I’m excited about doing something I love and am hopeful about. Eek!
Okay, now here’s what you came for…
Eli: Week 41
I got to spend the entire week without going to a daycare or a sitter! I got to enjoy my mommy being home and my grandparents spoiling me rotten. They let me try French fries, sorbet, hamburger, Mexican chicken with sour cream, bananas and corn nuggets. Whew! I suddenly noticed that there are things above me and I learned to cruise between furniture instead of just cruising around one. I learned how to open drawers and I like to empty my cabinet again and again. I tried to stand 3 times, but haven’t quite gotten it yet. I like to sing and I try to mimic what other people say and do. I like to help mom take my shirt off when I get ready in the morning. I’m such a good helper. I’m getting ready for my first Halloween. I can’t wait to be an Ewok.
