Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Carsyn had his 9 month well check up yesterday at 10 months old. His doctor while finally concerned. She wants to run some blood work to check for hyperthyroid. She doesn’t know if he does or not, but wants to check. They measured him at 16lbs 9oz, 26 1/2 inches long and a head circumference of 43cm. 3rd percentile for it all. She is also referring me to a rehab center, but they won’t see Carsyn till August. They are really backed up. I am hoping we can get some answers soon though.
My sweet baby {big} boy has freckles. I hated them when I was younger, but they look so darn cute on him! He had his 3 year check up yesterday. He weighed 36 lbs and was 39 inches tall. 90th percentile for both categories. He did really well with his hearing test. Wouldn’t really cooperate with seeing test but that was hard for me. Overall he did great at his visit. No shots! Yay! He was really, really great. I love him soooo much!

The moon coming up. That is the sun’s glow on the trees. I had been wanting to get a photo like this. I am entering this into Live Every Moments Anything Photo Challenge.

I manually focused to get the moon in focus and the trees out of focus.

Hubby took this photo for me. Thanks again for all your sweet words and sorry I haven’t been able to write back or visit you all. I have been enjoying this weather with my boys. Have a great weekend everyone!

    That moon shot is dreamy! I love it!! The colors are great. :) Sorry you have to wait until August for the rehab center ~ that's a long time! Hopefully they will be able to help! I love those freckles! One of my daughters has just one freckle on her upper arm. I am waiting for the others to appear. Based on her dad and myself, I know they're coming sooner or later! :)

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
