We promised Boba (Bo's mom Susie) one more pre-baby pic, so here it is. Hopefully, there won't be time for too many more pre-baby photos before he actually arrives!

Big Baby Belly
Well, we would call this Tanner's Baby Bump, but the baby isn't just a "bump" anymore....he's a mountain!

Wednesday
Closet Crafter
To corral some of Tanner's crafting supplies, we turned our guest bedroom closet into a craft area. We added a desk and some storage pieces, and now the area has been turned in to a room filled with gift wrap, stationery, ribbon, knitting supplies, and tons of other things necessary for fun projects. The best part is, once Tanner is done with whatever project she's working on, she can just shut the closet doors and everything looks clean!
Tuesday
Windmill Market
The weather this weekend was wonderful, so we took advantage of the crisp fall air to head over to Fairhope to check out the new Windmill Market.
Windmill Market is a brand-new farmers market, and it is such a neat place! Renovated from an old car dealership, the market is totally green. The power is supplied by a windmill out front, and there are 2 cisterns that collect rain water to water the garden out front and provide running water for the restrooms. Bo worked with the owners to supply their metal roofing, so we wanted to check out the finished product.
On Saturday, the place was PACKED with people! There were so many booths filled with locally grown produce, delicious-looking baked breads, fresh cut flowers, and more. The craftspeople were featuring lots of unique items, including a guy who was blowing glass right in his booth. He was so fun to watch! Our favorite BBQ joint, Moe's, opened an outpost inside the market, so we couldn't pass it up! Outside in the picnic/play area, a local musician was entertaining the large crowd. Since this was only the market's 2nd weekend in business, we know that they are going to be super-successful!

Mission: Organization
We continue the house tour with some of the more unglamorous rooms in our house. So today, welcome to our master closet and laundry room........
Our shirts, sorted by the rainbow (ROYGBIV) method.
We cannot live without our baskets to hold stuff like workout clothes, socks, beach supplies, etc
Purse organization. The ones in the floor did find another home, so it's not so junky now!
Our metal message board, made with an old frame and a piece of scrap metal from Bo's job. We'll probably end up painting the frame, but for now, it's holding our travel magnet collection.
Our bulletin board for important reminders, as well as the random things we find in our pockets! Plus, more hard-working baskets!
Our Master Closet
Since we share a closet, we wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for everything, including out-of-season clothing, coats, Bo's shoes, and Tanner's purses. We've never shared a closet before, but so far, we think we're doing a pretty good job!

Our laundry room is directly off of our garage, so it's also a mud room of sorts. We use the closet for Ike's necessities, and the shelves hold all of our pet & cleaning supplies. Tanner actually likes the laundry room, so maybe she'll start doing more of the laundry!

Parenting 101
This week, we took a parenting class put on by our hospital. It was full of good information, and we think we've got the swaddling technique down pat!
However, the best parenting advice we've received may be this email sent to us by a friend. We've always been told that after dealing with our pets, parenting will be a breeze!

Cat Burglar
If you've met our cat Ike, then you know the best word to describe her is "sassy". She's full of personality, and she always seems up to something. We're sure that she's quite a little smart mouth (if we could only understand what she's always trying to tell us).
We recently caught her in the act....guilt written all over her face. We think she's trying to fund some sort of hostile takeover. Luckily, this attempt was thwarted. We may not be so lucky next time........
