Introductions.

Hello and thanks for stopping by Life of Verde's!  
This is going to be my new blog for family updates,
 diy's/crafts, and maybe a recipe or two.

I get asked a lot about my craft projects and how to
do them so I thought this would be a great way to share
them with my family and friends as well as with 
the world (haha, big aspirations huh)!

Anyhow, a little background on me:
My name is Sarah Green and I am a military wife from 
Texas.  I've been married to my husband, Eddie, for
almost seven years.  We have three beautiful babies
Kolton-5, Kaylee-4, and Karter-2 Months.
I love crafting, always have.  I also love birthday parties,
probably too much.  I spend all year thinking of little cute details 
that will make my babies feel like they're is the most important
thing in the world to me-and they are.  I also like to make them 
bento style lunches (check out my bento blog, 
Little things that make them smile make me happy so why
wouldn't I do it for them.

We're currently experiencing our first deployment-boo!
(I won't say where he is, out of concern for OPSEC,
so please don't ask okay?)
To answer your next question, yes, Eddie did miss
Karter's birth, and yes it did suck--big time.

A little about my sweet Kolton:
Kolton has been diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
Basically, he understands everything you say
and he knows what he wants to say, but sometimes
when he tries to say something the connection from brain
to mouth the words get jumbled, and he can be hard to understand.
I first noticed a problem when he was 18 months.  We took him to the 
doctor for a routine well baby, and when they asked me what words
he was saying I had to say "none".  I thought this was quite normal
I quickly found out it was not.  After hearing exams, Early Intervention
services, and three years in speech therapy, he is doing much better.
I understand 100% of what he says, but I'm his mommy.  Strangers 
have a hard time understanding him, but he's on his way.
He's been in school since he was three and is gearing up to start 
kindergarten next year.
He's funny, handsome, and sweet.  
He loves superheroes and playing games.

A bit about my beautiful Kaylee:
I found out we were expecting Kaylee when Kolton was four months
old.  (Yeah, I know.)  She has been doing things her own way forever.  
She's strong willed, funny, sweet and caring, but she can be a handful.  She's
proving to be a great big sister, even when everyone thought she would be jealous
of the new baby.  She's my girly girl, and loves to play make up and have her 
fingernails painted.  She's currently in her first year of pre-k and doing great.

What can I say about Karter:
We thought our family was finished, but we were wrong.  Now, I can't imagine
my life without my little guy.  He's just the best baby ever.  He's just starting
to develop his personality, and just smiles all the time.  He's the happiest 
little man.  I can't wait for Daddy to get to meet him.  

We also have one fur baby, Harley Boo, our black lab.

That's about it for now, hope you enjoy Life of Verde's!
