Love at Home

Brant came home this afternoon after being out of town all week and surprised me with flowers, brownie bites, and Naan (not pictured because it was already eaten at this point, I'm surprised the brownie bites made it this long). Such a sweet guy! Brant was working in Cincinnati and then spent Thursday and Friday interviewing at the University of South Carolina. Last week he interviewed at the University of Alabama and in two weeks he has an interview at Texas A&M. It'll be fun to see where we end up!
I saw this frame in the dollar section of Target (one of my favorite places) and thought it would make cute Valentine's decor. It's my only Valentine's decor, but I figure if I add one piece a year then in 20 years I'll be really festive. I cut out a piece of scrapbook paper to fit the frame and then made the vinyl letters with my cricut (thanks, Mom!) and stuck them on. It took 20 minutes, cost $1, and I really like it.
We almost have a crawler on our hands! As cute as it is, I'm terrified of this little guy becoming mobile. With Spencer it was easy to keep little things off of the floor because Brant and I were the only ones around. Gavin has a big brother which naturally leads to lots of things being on the floor that I don't know are there. I also need to baby proof again...
At this point Gavin can still only scoot backwards. It's cute because he always gets stuck in some corner.
Instead of spending time in his house these days, Spencer spends time on his house. I think he was fishing here.

What a sweet surprise from Brant! And I love the frame you decorated, it is so cute. I'm learning that you have quite a crafty side to you...I'm impressed. Sounds like you have been a busy, busy lady. It's hard to have husbands out of town. After Texas, is he home for a while or does he still have more interviews and travel after that. I'm excited to see where you end up as well, although I was hoping to have you in Ohio for much longer!

Obviously I missed something... is Brant applying for graduate school or for jobs? Either way that's exciting! Good luck Brant!
