Andrew and his Nana

3 months old!

Andrew rounds the 3 month mark today. No longer can I just hold him without noticing, because he is getting heavy! We are having so much fun with him. He loves to talk and smile at us. When he actually learns to use words, I have a feeling he will talk non-stop. Must take after his poppa!

In business news, we have decided to name the clothing line "a.m. life" (andrew micah life). All of the names were good in one way or another, but this one just fits in so many ways. Here are some of the reasons, I may elaborate on them later: 1. the whole idea is because of him, 2. in so many ways he has brought new life to me, 3. the shirts are about nature and christianity (Life). 4. it is not overt, but has potential to be a Light for Christ and opportunity to share Him. 5. it is all inclusive and can grow past baby and toddler clothes.

I have ordered the most expensive startup item, a heat press. I found a great deal on the most reputable brand and can't wait to test it out. So far I have three fish designs and one monarch. (For those of you with girls, let me know what kinds of things you think would be a hit). I still need a printer combo, blank clothing, and to get some of the work professionally printed on plasticol paper, ready to put on shirts. For the dying of fabric, my aunt is graciously sending me here paints and some shirts. I need to get my LLC and want to raise money to trademark my name and logo. We are planning for this to be a big production that I will work on for a long time.

Also, I returned to work at ATT on July 1. I will be working 20 hours a week until we can afford not to. It is difficult, but okay. I am actually excited, because the new I phone comes out on July 11. I am sure that sales will be high and hope to do well from now through the holidays. If we do well enough, I can probably stay home starting in Jan.

Andrew is napping so when he wakes, I'll try to get a good 3 month old shot of my handsome little buddy.

Thanks to everyone for your excitement and support for my idea of the clothing line. It energizes and encourages me to know that this can be a big hit.
