I love fall! The cooler weather and shortening days have a way of inspiring me...the cool weather really wakes a person up! Almost 7 months into this parenting thing and I'm finally settling in and relaxing into things. Our nights seem more restful (we only wake up 1 or 2 times at night) and the days have a smidgen of free time in them as Evan has begun taking longer naps fewer times daily. What is a mom to do with herself?? :) Of course, I'm still cleaning up after the Dominican roommates (they leave next week) and keeping up with our family's daily mess, but I've got my routine down and can knock it out fairly quickly (although admittedly, I need to vacuum more frequently). I've begun to master my pacifier clip making skills and am pleased that other people are actually interested in buying them. Today (being that it's a little rainy and I don't feel like going out) I'm going to do some research on setting up an Etsy.com shop to market the products resulting from my need to create. As inspired by my new favorite person/blogger/cookbook author, Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman), I'm trying to hone my photography skills, too. There is nothing more I would love than to have a sweet camera like the Nikon D3, but - lets be honest - that's out of our budget (barring a winning lotto ticket). So, I'm setting my sights (no pun intended) on something more like the Nikon D90. I'm working on a black and white photo wall for our home at the moment. Here are some of the 200 pictures sister Katie and I snapped the other day. I need more practice, but I figure if I don't use the camera I have now, I have no business wanting a nicer one! ;) These were taken with our Nikon Coolpix camera, which takes great shots, but the photos print off pretty grainy if I use the zoom at all and it has a hard time capturing action shots.
