Sara's bag

Well, I tried not to be a post slacker a the beginning of the year, but it just didn't work. But I don't intend to give up posting here since it is kinda like my scrapbook. Anyway, Sara has been asking me for quite a while to make her something out of this owl fabric that I had. I don't even know where it came from, but it was not my favorite. Anyway, last week I broke down and made her a bag (like Caroline's frog bag) using the fabric. Here it is:

Day 13 - Nathan

Nathan's second 8th birthday party (it was supposed to be the first but was rescheduled due to Sara's December illness).

dining room table

We bought our dining room table right after Matt and I got married. Children have added quite a bit of damage to it and it needed some serious help. Right before Christmas I started refinishing the top (like I needed more to do). I was able to finish it last weekend. It's definitely not perfect, but it is is much better shape now (for about two weeks probably).

Day 6 - Caroline

Mommy: Caroline, smile.

Caroline: Why did you take my picture?
M: For the blog.
C: But my hair was in my face.
M: Ok. Smile again.

C: Now will you take a silly one?
M: Sure.

Sara was enjoying watching Daddy work on the plumbing (inside the air return).

He was reading through geology fact cards - a Christmas present.
