Here is my skinny boy enjoying a cracker, oh and guess what he did today.....started talking.

He says "nigh nigh" and "done"! I can't believe it!!! He is my sunshine!

I finally found my jean material (50% off) and recovered my dinning room chairs! Well I still have 2 more to recover, but they will be done tomorrow, I hope.

I am trying not to be to freaky about them with the kids...but it is so hard when its nice and clean and they sit down to eat pizza. Aaaagggggghhhhhhhh!!!!

Look I actually made a second one. This one is less complicated then the first, but I think I like it more. It is smaller (12x12) but has more tabs on it. Jack seems to enjoy it. It's just the right size for a game of peek-a-boo.

A nap time accomplishment.

Here is my first attempt to make a tab blankie. Now you'd think I'd learn to make a few and show you the best, but I rarely ever get to make a few of anything (except kids, wink wink).

I made a stuffed fire truck with a pocket to hide it in on the back. It is attached. Now comes the hard part of contemplating if it is nice enough to give as a baby shower gift.

A little glimps into my home today. I hear one way to keep a clean kitchen is to not have any art on the fridge. I am sorry but that just isn't happening in this house! Lemon anyone?

We had a wonderful weekend away! Thank you again to the grandparents, who with out, this trip would not have been made possible. The kids did great and I didn't even call 100 times to check on them! Aren't you proud of me?! I did have a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I got home, yummy things growing. The very eager sprout is a squash, I do hope that they all survive the transplant into the garden. That won't be happening yet though, still have some more work to go . We will be having some very rich compost though. I have been taking all the pulp from our juicing venture with Robby and composting it! Ok enough about the dirt.

Oh I know I say this all the time, but my babies are growing up to fast! It is hard to see in this picture but Jack is getting hair....one at a time, but it's growing! I will be leaving Jack with Mama for the first time over night. I am sure he will do fine, but I am a little anxious about it. The good part is I will only be across the bridge, so I can be back at any time, if needed. I am hoping to be able to let my mind relax about it so that I can enjoy the time away....but it's still hard. The others will be taken care of as well, but I know they can handle a night with out me.

Happy Easter to our Family and Friends, we pray that this past weekend brought you renewed Joy and love in Our Risen Lord and Savior! We love you all.

Happy Easter! The kids had so much fun hunting for eggs this past weekend. Thanks Uncle Gary and Aunt MaryBeth!!!

My budding artist Madelyn brought this home from school yesterday. I thought I share it with you. Madelyn loves to draw and has inspired me on more than one occasion to pull out the art "stuff". I would love to have a space to work on projects, came across this room and would love to have a room like this, although it is so pretty so I may never allow any messes in it!!!! May just sit in awe Click below so see what I am talking about. .http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/2007/02/index.html

The evolution of a painting....not yet finished.

Since about he age of 2 we have had an interesting time trying to figure out Robby's hair. With all his swirls and angles it is just difficult to manage. So my little cowboy will continue to have his hair buzzed, and that will be that. Don't worry his head was buzzed since this picture was taken!

oh and in case you are wondering what is up with his smile, this was his attempt to smile with his eyes open. silly man.
