I thought summer was supposed to be calmer than the school year?

Man, things are seriously busier in the summer than they are during the year- what's up with that? Unfortunately, I don't have many accomplishments to share as I've been travelling, preparing for a wedding I'm in at the end of the month, getting ready for Vacation Bible School (which I'm in charge of all opening and closing ceremonies and music... it doesn't seem like much but when you're looking at 400 kids already signed up, it gets daunting fast!) and I got a kindle- So there went hours upon hours of productive time!
I did make these shirts last week for Aislyn who became a big sister yesterday! Her little brother Elim was born and I just can't wait to see him and squish him!

Other than that I've basically been just running around after this kid all the time.
The big boy bed transition went freakishly smooth and he's doing GREAT sleeping in it! He's been in it for almost 3 weeks and hasn't gotten up at night once (I would knock on wood, but let's be for real- my kid's obsessed with sleeping and once he's out, he ain't wakin' up til morning!). He does like to come to the door and knock right after we've put him to bed, but then he just gets back in bed when we don't come to the door!
The coolest thing that's ever happened to Noah happened this week when we went to see the Wiggles in concert. They said no flash photography so we left our camera at home (since we rode the light rail up there and if they wouldn't have let it in... well, we would have been screwed!) but I have a couple of pics from my phone. Unfortunately, this is the best pic of me and Noah. Lame.
He is absolutely in LOVE with his new shirt and didn't want to take it off to get in the bath that night.
(whoa- proof he has hair!)
He was so cute though. The first hour of the show he just sat there staring incredulously at the stage like "Is this real life?". The last 45 minutes or so he started clapping and singing but you could just tell his mind was completely blown. Sam and Captain Feathersword even came down to our area and waved to Noah! So fun!
I've got a few projects mentally lined up that I hope to get finished after this crazy week of VBS starting with a king sized quilt for our bed. Am I insane? Maybe.
