My Climber

Max is almost 1 year old and has started to crawl but his favorite thing is to stand up on things! He gets such a big grin on his face because he thinks he is a big boy now. We got him toys that he can stand up to and play on and he loves them! He has completed his time for wearing his doc-Band and no more flat spot on the back of his head! He is still learning that he does not have that protection anymore and has bumped his head a few times, but he is happy to be done with it.

We are getting excited about our upcoming trip to UT, NV and CA in September and can not wait for Max to meet all his cousins, Aunts and Uncles and to see Grandma and Grandpa Killian! Some of my family has not met him yet and most others have not seen him since he was just a couple of months old. We are going to have a pirate birthday party with Ashley's little guy Lukas who was born just 4 days after Max and we are looking forward to watching him eat a piece of birthday cake all by himself :o) Life is Great here in Texas at the Neal house! We have so much to be thankful for and despite our little struggles, we are sooo blessed each and every day!

My New Project

I have taken up sewing again and I am enjoying it very much! I am making infant seat canopy's which are handy for keeping your little one out of the sun, wind, cold/heat or just keeping them from germs. No more hassle of trying to keep a blanket over the infant seat. I wish I had one of these when Max was still in his infant seat! They make great baby shower gifts. Anyway, I sell them for $25.00 each and I can do any custom fabric as long as I can get it. Here are some pics :0)

When I get Bored......

My sweet husband just never knows what he is going to come home to! When I get bored or I just need a change, I love to redecorate! I am a great bargain shopper and I have learned I can repurpose anything with a can of paint! I recently re-did the formal living and dining rooms and made a few changes to the Kitchen (by adding an island) and the family room. I can't help it.....this is one of my passions! Hey, at least I am not spending lots of money right.....

More Summer Fun!

It was so much fun to have a visit from Jackie, Shea and Kyle. Max loved meeting his Aunt and his cousins! As you can see, he loves his toybox. He plays until he poops out! Life is good!
