Motherhood has taken over

Well, my little bundle is 10 months old today!  Where has the time gone?  I only wish I knew.  She is starting to crawl and zooming around in her walker, trying finger foods and breaking our hearts every day.  By breaking them I mean making them explode with love!  It is amazing!!  It is also tiring and time management has gone out the window for me.  Last year I did a Bible study named, "I used to be Organized," and I thought I would have it together. HA HA HA  All mothers know the humility that comes with becoming a mother.  If only we knew what we thought we did before we had children! :)
I haven't blogged in awhile but I have decided to start back.  My posts may be simple and short or they may be long-winded (I have discovered a couple of topics that are a big deal to me.).  They will probably be irregular  but I think I will enjoy doing them this way.  No pressure in other words.  We moms definitely don't need any more pressure!
So I will leave you with Esther's newest trick (as in this morning).  She used to lay in the pack n play and roll around and play, well you can see for yourself, those days are a thing of the past!

Well I have been thinking of starting back blogging, but had some pretty nervous moments.  I really enjoy it and it is definitely ‘good for me’ time.  But I had the nagging questions,

Can I do it and keep up with it?

Will anyone read it?

So considering all of this, I have decided to start back and this is my first venture back into the blogosphere! Yea!  I am very excited (albeit nervous) about this!

Here is a little update on our lives.  We are still working on the house but have completed a lot of it!  This does include the laundry room moving upstairs and out of the basement! Woot Woot!

We still have all 3 of our fur babies; Briggs, Shelby and Lady.  Lady is still my baby even though she has grown oh so much!  Here she is last year and this year:

Another new iron in the fire would be my job working for a local photographer.   How this came about is a post all in its own, but was most definitely God’s work!

Last but not least, we are expecting our first baby in October!!  Woo hoo! Yippeee!!  Needless to say we are thrilled! And nervous. And scared.  This is normal, right?  Being that I am a little older, I have been spoiled by having ultrasounds almost every time we go to the doctor.  I will show some of them in another post!  J

Everyone says our lives are about to change and never be the same again; they also say it is for the better even when it doesn’t seem like it.  I believe them because I have seen plenty of changes in me in the last few months!  The things they don’t warn you about!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a blessed day and see you soon!

 

Blog Update and Renewal

Even though we still have a good 3 months of work on the house, I am resolving to get back to my blogging.  I really enjoy it and have learned so much from other.  SO I am going to start with the title of my blog, it will be Markham Made because I do a lot of different things and it covers anything my little o' brain can conjure up.  A few weeks ago I designed a few different logos and got some opinions and I think this is the most liked one:

I think it is my favorite so far, although there is another with swirls that is appealing to me.  Any hoo, this will be the start of a redesign.  :)  There will probably be a good mix of whatever project I happen to be on, our little family and what we have done with our house.  I am going to try to make a schedule for certain days to help me keep up.  So just like Shelby and Briggs, look for fun things to come!

Smiles and waggy tails,
