Vivian Miette

Pink, Pink & more Pink!

It's a girl!

Vivian Miette born

August 22nd & on Darcy's daughter's birthday!

Vivian means "full of life" & Miette means "small sweet thing" or "little crumb".  I suppose she'll get called "Vivi" as well. 

We were pleased as punch to have a girl and the sweetest thing is we didn't find out. We are so blessed to have a healthy baby girl.

& in loving memory of Vivian Kate Colombo, another reason this name is so loved......

8/9/10

Summer is about gathering at friends {Jill's fun party}

We sure love ribbon the colors of gelato tucked in clear bags..........

Summer is all about water...........

Boards are up on walls & ceiling-----I can't believe it! Now for the closet & wall by washer & dryer............

Sink & faucet are picked out, I'll show you soon what I decided on. Part of taking so long was meeeee! I take forever making decisions especially when it comes to a room that we'll use a ton.

I posted today's date in the title as I was hoping to have a baby on this day. 8/9/10 now isn't that swell! Well, it hasn't happened yet! 

It's been a relaxing summer as I have been taking it easy. There has been some flurry in getting baby's room together and getting Zach's new bed set up. I need the crib for the new little one! 

The fuss has been that I have had severe pregnancy insomnia since about the 2nd week of June.

The lack of sleep drives me crazy, and I'm amazed what I have gotten accomplished.  There are some days I just sit a lot and watch the boys play.
