Ready for Spring ...

On Saturday I went to get a pedicure, in hopes that I would go into labor soon :) Ofcourse, after my appt today I do not think it will be soon. The dr still thinks I will go before my due date but Aly seems to be very comfortable right now :)

Anyways, yesterday I painted Ansley's toes. She is so good, and sits still while I paint them and dry them quickly with the hair dryer... We are now ready for flip flops and the warmer weather to stay and READY for Aly to arrive!

the Cutest Shirts

Lauren, a high school friend of mine, has started embroidering and monograming kids clothing. She is so talented and has such a great eye. I asked her to make me "Big Sis" & "Lil Sis" shirts for Ansley and Aly.... they came out PERFECT! They are absolutely adorable, and not only did she make me those, she also surprised me with much more (See below).

I can't wait to put the girls in these shirts. They are going to look so cute!!!

Aly's Nursrey

I finished Aly's nursery a couple of weeks ago and have been meaning to post some pictures. Ofcourse, now all we are awaiting on is for Aly to arrive :)

these are the paintings I did for Ansley's nursery and now they hang over Aly's crib

I painted the little canvas on top of the shelf, just waiting to add Aly's birthdate below her name

sorry, not a very good pic

CC's Bridal Shower in Athens

A couple of weekends ago, I helped host a bridal shower for CC (Chelsea) at Mimi's house along with one of her other bridesmaids. We had a great time and everything came out beautifully! Not to mention, it was a gorgeous day in Athens (definitely didn't feel like the February weather we had been having). This was Chelsea's first shower, so we made it an "Around the House" theme as well as asking everyone to bring their favorite recipe to share with Chelsea. She got some yummy recipes and some really great gifts!

We can't wait for Chelsea to officially become a part of the Mautz family. Not much longer, just shy of 4 months til the big day :)

Here are some pics from the shower.
