There is a nugget in the oven!

Here is our first glimpse of Baby Pash. 12 and 1/2 weeks along and healthy. we know the nugget has a head, a heart, and a butt!!

by popular demand....

alrighty, well for those of you who also want to get crafty (and i so encourage it) here are some tips on how to make the onesies.

1. get your choice of fabric. joanne fabrics sells squares of really cute designs for $1.99 and you can make A LOT of appliques out of each square. they are in the quilting section

2. you need "double sided webbing". the webbing is basically the glue that adheres the fabric shapes onto your onesies. make sure it is double sided. it will have one side that has paper that you will peel off.

3. get yourself a pack of onesies (or anything for that matter, canvas totes, blankets, shirts, etc. the world is your oyster, have fun!)

4. take your fabric and iron on the webbing. do this PRIOR to cutting your shape.

5. once you have ironed on the the webbing, cut out your design.

6. peel the paper off the back side of the applique, and iron onto your onesie (tote, blanket...)

that's it. seriously. it is very simple and very addicting. enjoy!

more onesies!

here are two more pics. the "pash" one was pictured before, but it happens to be one of my favorites, therefore worthy of having its own picture :)

baby fever!

my mom came for a very needed visit this past week. while she was here, we got crafty with baby stuff! many of you have heard about the baby blanket and the onesies, because honestly, i couldn't contain my excitement. so if you don't absolutely love them, smile and lie to me. here they are...

ahoy, mates!

so sorry for the break in entries. zack and i have been going crazy. between his work schedule and my nausea, the blogs haven't been flowing regularly. here is an update.

a few weeks back we had the rare opportunity

of visiting Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, the CG's only tall ship. and interestingly, the only still functioning tall ship in any of the united states military branches.

the coolest part of the ship is its history; it was a war prize from the germans after WWII. hitler did go on board the ship, and it had a u-boat engine below deck when we won it. so awesome.

a couple of days before our tour, zack and I met one of the cadets in downtown wilmington and he gave us the vip tour of the ship. it was incredible. the ward room (where all the big wigs onboard eat their chow) is one of the most beautiful rooms I have seen in all of my life.

here are a few pictures of our experience. oh, and the eagle on the front of the ship now holds the CG emblem, it used to hold a swastika. enjoy! over

two little lines

it is my great honor to officially share with you all that Adriana and I are expecting our first little one(s) to be born on March 19 2010, tentatively. we could not be happier or more excited for what our future holds. God is good.

I accidentally put them in reverse order. just work your way from the bridge to the flag and you'll be alright.
