Steps and Big girl bed!

Jack is unofficially walking! He has been taking steps here and there. I got him to take 4 the other day! I have no clue what we will do with 2 mobile kids! The countdown for Jack's birthday and party is on!! I can't believe my baby will be ONE next weekend! WOW! Time is flying in our happy little world but we are all enjoying every single minute.

We found Ellie a big girl bed! Well - its a twin bed in our world but its a big girl bed in hers. She will be so excited once we have it up! Found the cutest headboard and sitting bench for her room on Craig's List and saved a ton of money too! Dave and I are heading out today to find her mattresses and hopefully she can sleep in it tonight ;o) We even stopped at K-mart and I found the Dora bedding on sale too! Can't wait to post pictures soon!

As for Dave and I we are doing good too!! Dave is working, working, working but it isn't is as bad as either of us thought with him at the Clinic and Metro. We have so many people in our lives to be thankful for helping us out. In January we should start a pretty consistent schedule which may make things a bit easier to plan. We don't have a lot of time together but we know what we are doing right now will benefit us in the long run.

I actually figured out how to use my sewing machine! There is one stitch on it that does not work and of course its the one I need. I have taken on my family's tradition (the Srokas - my Mom's family) of making Christmas stockings. Each and every one of my aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids have the same one! My Grandmother made them until she passed away and my Aunt Jean (who we all miss very much) took over then. Now it is my turn and as nervous as I was/am to do it I have enjoyed it so far. After the stockings are done I might try something else!
