I know. It’s been awhile. Two weeks to be exact! My parents’ visit was fun and I don’t really know where the time went. We got a lot done in two weeks. I can’t even remember it all. Here are the highlights:

Used our gift cards to Baby Gap and got a really cute bunting for Bella and some tights to wear with her winter jumpers.

Used our gift card to Borders Bookstore in Omaha to buy some books for Bella.

Used our Melting Pot gift card to celebrate T’s birthday.

Put an end to T’s endless question: “Should I get an iPhone?”

Sewed and lined my first recycled, felted sweater purse.

Sewed my first piece of clothing for Bella: a sleep sack.

Went through all of Bella’s 0-12 month clothes. Packed up all of the non-pink stuff for Lauren. (I’m not sure what I’m going to do with all of the pink stuff.)

Washed (thanks Mom!) and sorted all of Bella’s winter clothes.

Turned the half-way point on my parents’ afghan.

Knit a House Hat for my Dad’s birthday present in Oriole’s colors.

Settled a Very Stressful Legal Thing that has been hanging over our heads for the last three years.

Celebrated an early Thanksgiving.

Oh, and I can’t forget to mention that my daughter is drinking WHOLE MILK. Can you believe it? I really pushed the limits while my parents were here because I figured I’d have help if she got fussy from a dairy stomach ache. She only broke out once and that was the day after we went to the Melting Pot. I guess the cheese fondue was a little too much! But I’ve been adding a little bit of dairy every day and she’s been doing really well with 5-10 ounces of whole milk a day. I think we are turning the corner on her dairy intolerance. Woo hoo!
