I am way behind on posting...and I don't see me getting caught up anytime soon!
Things have been crazy busy around here! I don't even know where to begin!
Emma is, as always, her funny, goofy self! We are constantly entertained by her and amazed at all the new things she does and says! Her favorite thing is to get into boxes, totes, baskets...anything that she can fit or almost fit her cute little butt in! (you will see pics below)
Shane is enjoying the college football season, of course...so our weekends are now worked around when the Huskers play! He also joined a Wednesday night bible study at church that runs for the next 8 weeks. We also started small group back up on Sundays.
As for me, wow, I have had a lot going on! My Tuesday morning bible study started back up (we use to meet on Thursdays) and we are doing a Beth Moore study on the book of Esther. Its a fairly in depth study with homework. Monday morning lapsit at the library also started back up, so Emma and I have been going to that. And I have plans to do something on Monday evenings...if I decide to continue, I will fill you in! (I couldn't make it this first time on Monday, but plan to go next Monday).
I have also been doing TONS of sewing! I got my last order out and moved on to one for a benefit that is this Friday. I also made a tutu to go with another basket I put together to be part of the silent auction. And I am also donating a custom diaper bag, so I made a few burp clothes and put together a basket of goodies to go along with the gift certificate. I also have 5 orders for diaper bags in the works. Some I can start working on, others will wait until ppl find out genders of their babies and make fabric selections. In addition to all that, I was asked to donate a custom diaper bag for another silent auction being held in November. I feel blessed that God is using my talents and hope that I can live up to His expectations and plans for me! (Pics of my latest projects will be coming soon)
Which brings me to the realization that I have so much sewing ahead of me (each diaper bag takes over 15-20 hours to cut, piece together, and sew) and could really use a new sewing machine that has a 10" arm, and several other features that would help immensely in sewing my diaper bags. My sewing machine has been giving me some fits, but it has been a huge blessing from when I first got it (for those of you that don't know, I won it in a drawing). Its a really nice machine, just doesn't have all the features that I need, but has definitely allotted me to do stuff that I couldn't with my first one (which was also a huge blessing, a gift from my parents way back in college). So I praying that if God sees fit, He will bless me again (because these sewing machines aren't cheap)!
My mom and I have been enjoying webcaming the last few days...she now has high speed internet, thanks to my brother who recently started his own wireless internet company called wireless inet, you can check him out here www.wirelessinet.net. My mom's web cam was pretty old and didn't have a microphone, so i ordered her a new one, and should be arriving in a day or two, and then we will be able to video chat!
I know there are more things I wanted to write, but I can't remember them now! So I will end here and head to bed! But first, here are some pictures of Emma...

Emma getting into the stuff that I had gathered to get rid of...and her fav, my underwear!
She is always running around now with my underwear around her neck...she is so silly!
See that big purple spot? Emma took a dive into the corner of the end table and had to have her cut glued shut! Poor kid, it bled all over the place and scared her mommy to death! It happened this past Saturday night, so of course the doctor's office is closed and it was past urgent care office hours, so we had to take her to the ER. I was a little concerned because she threw up afterwords, and the bleeding wouldn't completely stop after an hour, so we took her in. We are hoping she doesn't have a huge scar. She picked at the glue today and got some off, and of course took her eye brow hair with it...I hope it grows back fast! I told Shane she got her first eye brow waxing and it didn't go very well!Well, heading to bed!
