Dave's Popcorn

Since Nataly is a Wing I'm sure she will like popcorn. Whether you are born into it or marry into it- the Wing's like popcorn. And we really like Dave's popcorn.

Dave's usually opens later in the season, so I was pretty excited when his website said they were open for the year. But before I could go I had to wait for Nataly to get up from her nap. As soon as she did, we were out the door. I go to Dave's pretty much every weekend and now I can go there every weekend with Nataly. This was the first of many trips we will be making to Dave's.

A Couple of Videos

The neighbor kids came over wanting to entertain Nataly. Caleb was able to get her to laugh first.



Pretty impressed.

All Nataly All the Time

Nataly has been keeping us busy. She's been talking (blabbering really), moving around and investigating anything she can get her hands on. She's trying real hard to crawl. She does the army crawl here and there. She can pull herself up sometimes but she loves to stand and play. Nataly can't wait to get outside. We've been able to get out and about when the weather is nice. But we are just waiting to get outside every day to see what new things we can find. Music class has been a blast. She loves going. Nataly gets into the beats. It's great to watch. She bounces up and down when she sits or when she's standing. It's so cute.

She loves to look out the window and wait for people to walk by.
Especially if they are walking their dogs.

Reading the mail - a letter from Grandpa Schaffer.

I got her a remote so she would stop chewing on mine.
But hers doesn't light up, so she still wants mine.

Italian Leather Handbags

We've been working on this for a while but haven't been able to say anything. We started a little company with Tim and Cathy to sell Italian leather hand bags. The companies name is Pelletteria - which means Leather Shop in Italian.

Alisha and Cathy both have purses they got while in Italy and are constantly getting compliments on them. That got us thinking that we should figure out a way to import them and sell them. The plan is to sell them online, at boutiques, have purse parties and to friends and family. We are working with an importer to bring them into the US straight from Italy. These are exactly the same purses and handbags you see in the leather shops in Florence and San Gimignano. These are not the ones you buy on the street from the guys that run away when the police come. These are the real deal.

Here are some pics of our first batch of handbags. The prices vary. So if you want one or have any questions let Alisha know.

A Bunch of Nataly Pics and A Couple of Videos

Visit with the girls and the kids

I headed out to Lake Elmo to get together with the girls from high school. It was a blast. 5 girls and 7 kids. yikes! We even managed to get a photo of all the kids. Crazy times but it was a blast. Lots of playing and running.

Trying to get a picture.

Finally got an ok pic

Besties hang out again.

Here are some random photos I found I thought I'd post.



What do you think Nataly is doing?

Yup, trying to poop.

Baptism

A belated thank you to everyone that was part of Nataly's baptism. Thanks to everyone for braving the weather and coming together for Nataly. A special thanks for those of you that got stuck in our neighborhood and made a day long event out of the baptism.




The last two aren't baptism pics.
