New Blog

Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to really start the new blog. It's still pretty bare over there, but I do have an About page up.

I may do a few more posts here, but for the most part this blog will just become my archives and you will have to go to the new one if you want to keep up to date.

So without further ado, I'd like to introduce Nasha Dacha.

Sleepy Time

Well, I think I've settled on a name. I've got a site published, but I've still got quite a bit of work to do on it. I kind of want a break from all of this blogging stuff. . .

In the meantime, I just want to share that since we visited my sister's family last weekend, bed times have in general been much easier. It was a very nice and sudden change. He doesn't even need me to sing to him most of the time.

Ethan went to bed well tonight, but then he was having a hard time falling asleep and after a while cried out for me. I finally went in to him (again) and rocked him into dreamland. It was a little frustrating at first to have to go in again when Terral was ready to help out, but Ethan just wanted me. Then as I rocked him I felt the peace of holding my child and I thought, "I am needed. I am wanted. I am loved."

I am so very blessed.

Change Coming

I've decided I'm going to create a new blog. I figured out the photobucket thing, but it's just not worth the hassle. It's hard enough to blog as it is, and I don't want to put unnecessary time into it. And I've been toying with doing a different blog for quite a while. But, blast it, it's difficult to settle on a name!

Thanksgiving Tables

Turns out you can only post one photo at a time from Flickr. (Unless someone can enlighten me with another method. . .) Lame.  So I had to open another account with photobucket. blah.

So here goes another experiment. :)

As I believe I have mentioned, we hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. I was rather excited about it.  It did get a little crowded when everyone was trying to get their food, but other than that we all fit just fine!

I got the idea to do a doodle table runner here, but since I couldn't find where I had packed my tablecloths, I decided to cover the whole table in kraft paper.

Ethan had fun with it. :)

We wrote and drew what we were thankful for, and whatever else we felt like too. :)

Crazy Hair

Experiment #2, since #1 didn't go so well. . .


*okay, so this one worked, but I only know how to post one picture from flickr. Argh! Blogger doesn't seem to recognize the url, even though I linked the accounts. Any suggestions?

Thankful for Hair

Sorry about the absence. We decided kind of last minute to go up to a family reunion in SLC, and we've been busy enjoying the company of awesome people. But now we're back, and I get to tell you about all the fun we've had the past week. :)

But first, there is that little issue of my pictures, and the fact that we are rather sleep deprived after all our late nights talking. So for tonight, I'm just going to do a little experiment and share with you a picture of Ethan's awesome Thanksgiving morning hair.

More Fun with Friends

We love having visitors. It's so nice that we have a place to put them up now! We've had a very enjoyable day with our friends, and now we are all tuckered out. I feel a little lame doing this little post, but I'm much too tired to stay up longer to do more. So just know that it was a fun and full day. :)
