me and the bebe

Like the freckles? I know I have a lot of them, but it always shocks me when I see photos of myself. This was taken the morning before we moved.

Can I just tell you that teething is ABSOLUTELY the work of Satan? Cupcake is having a really hard time with it.

My mom graciously asked us if she could please take Miss Grace home for the afternoon/evening when she stopped by today. I almost fell down in gratitude. I really wanted to take that time to work, but I decided to take a "nap" instead. Seven hours later, here I am, and I am ready to go back to bed.

I just looked in the mirror and it's the first time since June that I haven't had black circles under my eyes.

I love sleep.

Newest addition...

In addition to a new house and a new baby, we also adopted a new kitty. Ginger has been at the shelter for several months, and we fell in love with her right affter she arrived, She was very very sick and Animal Control was going to euthanize her and her kittens, but our shelter took them in and managed to bring them back to health. The kittens have gone to GREAT homes, and Ginger has been waiting for us to finish the house so she could be part of our family.

The other two cats are still trying to figure out why this new house came with a cat and if they like that or not. I hope they all figure things out soon. I want all the kitties to be happy.

Ginger has become Cupcake's kitty- she's the only one of the three that lets Grace pull on her tail and ears and fur. We don't condone that, but "gentle baby, be nice to kitty" only lasts so long and then Cupcake sneaks a grab in. Ginger seems to love her more for it.

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 33. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
