This week I spent my time working (as always), crafting, and enjoying the beauty of this wonderful spring weather! Elijah has no choice but to love the outdoors because his father and I both thrive in it. Joshua, although most of his pleasure is in taking the lives of the innocent creatures that roam the woods, also enjoys the tranquility of the outdoors. I can't live without it. I was the most nervous about moving to Louisville because I was afraid I would never get to go hiking or play in the creek or just walk through the woods like I did almost daily back home. But, I have discovered what I have dubbed "The Brushy Fork of Louisville." It is a lake with hiking trails all around and creeks everywhere and it's absolutely beautiful! Finally, I have found a place of serenity for this hippie-girl in the big city of L'ville and I am so, incredibly thankful!

I brought Joshua out to the lake after I discovered it and he was shocked that I remembered exactly how to get there after only having been once (Normally, I'm TERRIBLE with directions). I attribute it to the fact that I immediately fell in love with this place and I never want to forget where it is! 

Update on Elijah's room: Some of you know we wanted to do a forest animal theme because Joshua and I are so in love with nature. I loved the idea of foxes and deer in the baby's room, but we were having a really difficult time finding the right bedspread. Well, my mother found the perfect one! I absolutely LOVE it! Although, at first, I was dead-set against anything that involved "cartoon-ish" characters, I then realized that I am giving birth to a baby...not a full-grown adult. So these are the colors we will be using in Elijah's room and this is the theme. I am so excited!!

I also amped up my crafting skills and made us this sweet, simple door wreath. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of robin's egg blue. lol It is all over my house.
