APRIL 2013 RECAP

April brought with it some very exciting and happy news for our little family - Baby Sorensen #2 will be arriving toward the end of December!  Wahoo!  We are so happy for Stryker to be a big brother, we think he'll LOVE it!  We're hoping this pregnancy goes as smoothly as Stryker's - I REALLY loved being pregnant with Stryker {the 6 months of no migraines might have been a huge contributing factor with that! :) } - and we're really looking forward to meeting our second edition!

APRIL 1 - BOY'S APRIL FOOLS TRICK

He's pretty clever.  Found him in his laundry tote.  I'm pretty sure he thought it would be a funny April Fools joke.  ;)



APRIL 3 - BEING RANDOM






APRIL 10 - STRYKER IS TWO!

My old employer, Culinary Crafts, called in a last minute favor to have me come in and run the office April 9 and 10.  I was somewhat excited by the prospect of going back into work for a couple of days, but man!, it was exhausting.  You full-time working moms are some form of superhuman.  It's really hard to work all day and then come home to work some more!  :)  I am VERY GRATEFUL that I live in a situation that does not require me to work full-time whilst being a mom.  Eric is such an incredible man to provide for his family and sacrifice so much so that we can live in comfort and peace.  I am much better at parenting when I put Stryker and his needs first.  {But it's good to have something "for me" too, I really enjoy my Spicy Designs business, but I'm grateful it's something I can do from home.}

And now Stryker is TWO!  Wow, where did that time go!?  Stryker is the greatest blessing in our lives and we absolutely love having him around.  Stryker is a very sweet and loving little boy.  He is meticulous, cautious, friendly, fun-loving, engineer-minded, dexterous, observant, and lover of all things transportation-oriented.  He truly is the sunshine in our days.  We love you, little man!  Happy Birthday!!!

Our awesome friends surprised us with a decorated door complete
with Cars stickers, coloring pages, and a hot wheels!

My little man!




Such a fun present - water table!  Thanks, Christensens!!!







APRIL 13 - PLAYDATE

Boy got to enjoy a playdate with his "Uncle" Theresa today.  She is a smart lady, she took him to the duck pond.  :)  He also got to watch some cranes and other such machinery on the construction site.  He had a GREAT TIME!  Thanks again for the little break, sister.  You rock!!!




APRIL 15 - AL'S 29!

You know any day that starts with THESE is going to be a GOOD ONE!  :)
The new face of 29

Our evening celebration consisted of some Waffle Love...yes, I was feeling VERY loved today!
APRIL 23 - T-SHIRT QUILT

My sis-in-law commissioned me to make a T-shirt quilt for my niece for her high school graduation gift.  It was a huge project, but I think it turned out mostly awesome in the end.  I definitely made note of things I would do differently next time...  :)


E helped me create this amazing chart so that I knew exactly how to cut each
piece for a proper fit.  I love people who can do math!  :)

Coming together...

DONE!
