our wedding bands

I finally got around to carving and casting actual wedding bands for me and Mark. (we've been wearing rings I made out of sterling silver, which I still am wearing do to nostalgia). Mark actually has been wearing his non-stop! His is cast in 14k white gold, and mine is 14k yellow gold. I am sure I will be making many more as the years pass.

one down two to go!

I am so honored to be able to make wedding bands for my brother and his bride! He also has commissioned me to make her engagement ring. His is done, hers are coming along. Thanks for being patient you two! I put a simple brand (done freehand) of their initials JT on the inside to personolize the band. I made it look like the symbol for pi...which is never ending. It is a lost wax cast in 14k white gold. Hope they like it!

35 weeks!

I'm really starting to love being pregnant, finally... as we come into the home-"stretch".  Isn't our skin amazing how much it stretches?! Feeling good, and getting really, really excited to meet this little one!

getting reading

The work continues as I run around trying to make this house our home! Six weeks until our baby's due date! Time is flying...  

 Baby's room, playing musical furniture trying to get it all to fit and function

Our room, a never ending project...

Growing, and papa glowing!

It's pretty cute how much these kids love "Uncle Marky" 
He even put the two older ones to bed last night! Getting practice for what's to come!

32 weeks: Madison River

Woke up to an absolutely beautiful day! Headed to the Madison for a nice walk along the river. Got some sun on the belly, finally! And splashed around in the cleansing river water. Still was below 40 degrees, but the sunshine, cold water and walking felt great! Feeling good. Feeling the baby move a ton, and we are getting so excited!    


 SUNSHINE!!

 Mark learned how to do Panoramas!

 Enjoying a Saturday together

 Funny shapes and angles

 Beautiful river path

Trying hard not to lose my balance!

Papa to be!
