Due to the weather getting chilly and the fact that it takes at least triple the time to leave the house with a newborn, E and I spend most of our days at home. We try to get out everyday for a little bit (check the mail, go for a walk, a Target run, etc), but for the most part we snuggle up inside. Ellie has been more awake every day and gosh I love those big beautiful eyes. (Still can’t tell what color they’ll be, some days they’ll look blue and other days they look brown.) While she naps I try to get a little bit done around the house, but really, when it comes to choosing between housework and holding a sleeping baby, the sleeping baby always wins. And while she sleeps, sometimes I sleep too, or we catch up on our favorite blogs. We’d love to stop by yours, leave us your blog address! And happy happy weekend to you! We’re leaving the cold weather and taking E on her first trip. Wish us luck!

I totally understand how hard it is to get out of the house. Oddly enough, at least for me, it seems to have gotten a little easier with each new arrival. 🙂
Hope you have a great trip!

8 years agothank you! i love the canon rebel, any model. they're great for beginners and very user friendly! also, you can find some with hd video included, which is always fun 🙂 (if the canon rebel isn't up your alley, try nikon. i'm a canon girl myself, but nikon and canon are the best brands out there!)
