Getting Ready for Baby

Only 6 and a half weeks left until our little boy arrives and we have started getting ready.  We found an amazing deal on a glider but were not a fan of the cushions.

   

So using our "new" sewing machine (Thank you Nana!!) we were able to make slip covers.  They not only look great but also will be washable.  With the addition of an ottoman (found by Grammy), Matt was able to reupholster it and complete the set.

 

 

We have also been getting the nursery ready.  When getting the changing table set up, we put on the minky dot cover.   We put the two stuffed animals we have so far up on top.  Suddenly the number doubled.  Apparently we weren't the only ones who thought it feels nice. Which stuffed animal do you think he is going to like the best?

 

A Busy Fall

The fall has been extremely busy in the Brankatelli household.  We have found ways to welcome in fall this past month.  We celebrated the first day of fall by going apple picking with friends at the local orchard.

  

 With our delicious apples we made our 5th annual homemade apple pie!  It was delicious warmed up and a la mode!

Welcome to our blog!

This is the first post on our new blog!  This blog is meant to be a way to update friends and family about the happenings of our lives which are sure to get a bit busier in just about 20 weeks.  We plan on posting pictures and stories for you to see. One disclaimer that I must put after the making of our last blog: We are both horrible spellers.  Please forgive us because there are going to grammatical and spelling errors for sure.  But if you love us enough you'll see it as a mark of authenticity and a bit of us shinning through in our updates. :)
