Natalie's 'Nap" Video

Natalie's Nap:  "Mommy, I done now Mommy"..."Mommy, I done now Mommy", I seriously heard this over 100x during her nap time. I finally decided to relent and go get her out of bed...but not before I ask her to sing a little for me. :) 

Nat & Bry Video

I'm just now figuring out how to take and post videos....I'll hope to put more up in the future. :)

Bring on the Fall! :)

Okay, let's face it....our kids are cute! :) I love this picture of them cuddling on the couch. Natalie and Bryce are interacting more and more, it is so neat to watch. Natalie is such a great big sister! Bryce is already 5 months, hard to believe! He's starting to play with toys and loves being talked to...looks like both our kiddos are super social. :) I am really appreciating staying at home with them, although it's super challenging. In all my stages of life and jobs that I've experienced so far, I've never felt so dependent on God to get me though each day alive! Everyday is an adventure and full of blessings (with lots of craziness mixed in too no doubt!). 

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was working on a batch of baby crafts for my mom to hopefully sell to her friends...here's Natalie modeling my Tutu ! :)

More Summer Pics :)

Thought I'd post some more pictures from our summer. Just one more week until our family vacation to South Haven Michigan....we can't wait!!!

Natalie loves the pool!

Here's Bryce modeling the neck-tie onesie that I made. I'm going to be making batches of several crafts for my mom to hopefully sell to her friends....when I finish all my creations, I'll create a post about it. :)

Growing up too fast!

It was a great summer for my business! I am so thankful to my friends and parents for helping me watch the kiddos so I could teach! Now I'm gearing up for my fall art schedule. More pics of my classes/camps can be viewed on my website. 

Summer Time!

It's been two months since Bryce joined the family...it's been a whirlwind of diaper changing, late-night feedings, doctor check-ups, and keeping up with spunky big sister Natalie...ready or not the summer seems to be in full swing! Bryce is sleeping longer at night now and so we're starting to feel more like normal human beings now that we're getting decent amounts of sleep. Yea! :)

Natalie had a rough first night when we first brought Bryce home, she was the one who cried the most that night! But since then, she's done a great job with transitioning to her new position of big sister. Bryce is a sweet baby...LOVES being held, our little cuddle bug! We discovered that he has a dairy allergy(which he will most likely grow out of by the time he turns one), so because of nursing, I've had to go on a dairy-free diet (and soy too). That's been challenging. I never thought I could survive a summer without ice cream or Friday nights without pizza, but it's amazing what mommas will do for their babies! 

Precious Boy!

'No one said this big sister thing would be easy! :)

Wes is busy with Habitat, the building season has begun! One neat fundraiser that the Indianapolis Habitat is doing this year is auctioning off playhouses. Various construction companies built unique playhouses that are displayed all over the city and will be auctioned off to raise money in celebration of Indy Habitat's 25th anniversary.  Here's the link, pretty neat!  Habitat Playhouses

Art Venture, my little art teaching business, is off to a good start! This week, I'm running my Animals Fine Art Camp where I have 10 students who come for two hours each morning. It feels great to be back in the teaching saddle again, I love it! I have another full-week camp planned for July as well as a evening jewelry classes and a few Saturday morning workshops. Here's my website...I'll be updating the photos on it soon:  Art Venture    and/or  Check out my Art Venture Facebook Page

Welcome Our Son, Bryce Miles Green!

One week ago today, we welcomed into the world our precious baby boy! We are so thankful to God for this wonderful gift of life. 

Bryce Miles Green

Born Tuesday April 17th, 2012  4:26 pm

7 lb. 7 oz.  20.25"

It was a fast delivery...I had gone into the doctor thinking I was having a false alarm, but wanting to be checked anyway... and before I new it, they were wheeling me into a hospital room! I called Wes at work to meet me at the hospital and just a few short hours later, little Bryce was in our arms.

I love my little boy!!!

 Here we are as a family of four!

A kiss from big sister Natalie

A huge thanks to my parents for driving down to Indy for several days to take special care of the new big sister. (Plus they got lots of snuggle time with Bryce too!)

Natalie Turns 2!

Bryce was kind enough to let Natalie have her own birthday...Natalie turned two on April 16th. We love her so much...can't believe she's growing up so fast!

The bubble machine from Grandma and Grandpa Green was a HUGE hit!

I made Natalie this tutu and fishing game. What a cutie!

Natalie's friend Emma came over for a special birthday playdate where they made crowns and fruit loop necklaces!
