Going Private and Lately

Hello Everyone!

Everybody is wondering why I'm going private.

Well, I'm not going to get into it on here just take my word for it - it's probably the best thing for a while.

Will it be permanent?

I hope not but you never know.

I know private blogs don't get as much traffic and hits because they're just that.

Private.

I have truly enjoyed everything that blogging has brought to my life and find it sad that others judge me for that.

So saying that, this is the way it will be for a few months, weeks, who knows!!??

I'll be sure to let you know if and when I switch back. I just hope that all of you continue to stop in and catch up.

So, because I'm about a week behind on my adventures I'll give you a brief recap.

Shelby and I went out and visited with my first cousin and her husband.

They're really more like my Aunt and Uncle.

Shelby loves Lloyd!

 Shelby enjoyed creeping around Katie's sewing room too.

Cousin Katie was so sweet to hem a few of Shelby's dresses.

Then we were off to do some shoe shopping.

Shelby will be 9-months next week and is SUPER close to full out walking!

Her teachers at school suggested hard sole shoes.

Brad wanted to go to Wal-Mart to buy her first pair but I shot that down and we headed straight to Stride Rite!

The clerk tried to get us to buy lace up shoes but after about 2.5 seconds of her having them on she started untying them.

So, we opted for velcro Mary Jane shoes instead.

So far so good!!

We just got back from the beach today and at one point over the weekend she was standing in the middle of the room by herself with a toy over her head!!!

 We celebrated my 38th birthday last week.

My Mom was sweet enough to come in and visit with us and babysit Shelby so we could go out for dinner. 

Shelby is getting to the point where she's not crazy about bows.

I'm so BUMMED!!!

I'm hoping that changes but we will see.

(First time seeing a balloon)

 

 We went to dinner at one of our favs.

Buca.

Tons of food but they always send coupons and we have leftovers! 

 Afterwards we hit up a favorite wine bar of mine and enjoyed a glass of Flora Springs 2011 Cab to prep for our upcoming Napa trip.

One of my good friends from college works here and we love their wine.

If you haven't tried it, you should!

There is so much to tell including an entire post on our first family vacation and beach trip.

Thanks again for continuing to read!!

XOXO
