3 months and crafting updates

I can't believe Naomi is already 3 months old!! Here are some updates:

-She's officially wearing 0-3 month sized clothing! No more newborn clothes, which does make me a little sad. The good news is that my sister can use them for her little one that is due to arrive in a couple of weeks.

-We went to a fun block party for July 4th and Naomi got to join us. She didn't stay up late enough to watch any fireworks :)

-She has been rolling over like crazy! We'll put her in one spot in her crib and we'll find her in a completely new section of the crib. Oh yes- she is now sleeping in her crib in her own room!

-She can hold her head up and wants to do so much more! She has tried pulling her legs under her when playing on the ground. I hope she's not an early crawler!

On another note, I've been tracked-out! Many of you know this is crafting time for me!

Last year I made this wreath:

Unfortunately it started to completely fall apart :( So I had to make a new one! Here it is:

Nothing too complicated. Just 3 flowers, some burlap ribbon, and the letter H. I attached all of this with wire so hopefully it'll last longer this time!

Craft #2 isn't really a craft. It's more of my 'Type A' organization. I saw a pin on Pinterest here. I wanted to completely copy everything this lady did, but I didn't really have a need yet. Maybe when Naomi is a little older :)

I got a shoe holder that holds 12 shoes. Only 8 fit behind my seat, so I cut the extra 4 off and attached it to the passenger's chair.

I put things I could potentially need on the road like sunscreen, lotion, tissues, Clorox wipes, extra diapers, grocery bags, scissors, pens, medicine, wipes, hand sanitizer, and of course bows!

I attached it with some pretty ribbon my mom gave me looped through the holes at the top.

I also attached it at the bottom just so it wouldn't swing and hit the legs of whoever rides behind the driver.

I now feel ready and prepared for anything while away from home!

Lauren and I have started to craft some more fun things, but you'll have to check back later to see what they become!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books, you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Katie

The last three weeks have been a bit of a whilrwind for my family. We found out that my sister, Katie, had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She went into the ER because she was having pains in her abdomen, and they found a football sized tumor. My sister is such a strong woman and was walking around the day after her surgery that removed the tumor! Katie decided to have some fun with her hair before her chemo treatments start. It's a good thing that we have a sister that is a hairdresser, she can do so many fun things to hair. This is what Katie looked like to start: Here is Lauren applying bleach to Katie's hair: Here is Katie as a blonde....I never thought I'd see one of my sisters EVER with blonde hair. I like the analogy she used...she said she looked like Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings. :) All the fun colors for Katie's hair: The final product: Please pray for Katie as she starts her first chemo treatment today! Love you sister w...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won! Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
