my family

here are some recent pictures taken from our favorite photographer Sandy
she came to our home and it was special
we even got some pictures of joe's beard!
i just love them
wow
and here is my first baby bootie-just need to crochet his mate
they will be perfect for luke's little feet

feeling better

i am feeling much better
phew what a relief!
i am getting out more and crafting up a storm
i have been crocheting, creating peter pan collars,
sewing fabric covered hangers, embellishing tote bags,
preparing paper for a scrapbook for luke,
joining interest groups, thinking positive thoughts,
daydreaming, reading, organizing, and
all the while taking care of the family!

i think i can do anything
so I will go ahead and do just that

and no the irony is not lost on me that there are 3 tents in the above picture
perfect for someday
some things i will do now and then there are some things i still plan to do when i am 40(ish)
amen

i am a drama queen sometimes

sorry about that last post!
i can be a bit melodramatic
that was even too much for me to reread
my life is currently potty training
and tantrum outbursts
not the plague
i have a lot to be thankful
so lets focus on the positive like this picture
pure delightfulness

i need some dandelions

life isn't always rainbows and unicorns and butterflies
maybe we have to experience bad times
so we can appreciate the good times

beautiful spring

spring has been absolutely lovely round here
perfect weather
it is hard to stay indoors so we go for numerous walks
around the neighborhood and to the park
and we play in the front yard as well
i even got some floral rain boots
one day i will make this delightful cake
all pics from this is glamorous blog

sewing dreams

i would really like to dedicate some time to my sewing dreams
i think it is time to do so
it will be good for both me and my family
these are simple yet feminine designs i would love to try making
they are sold here
i have been crocheting a lot
usually when the children are tucked in and asleep
and i get to spend some quiet time with joe
it is bliss

peace tonight

we love this country
amen
