Games

Now that the children are older, they enjoy playing board games. The Man plays to win. He says that the best way for the children to learn is to loose. He insists they learn from their mistakes. Me, I don't mind loosing--the kids are so happy when they win. Who knows the psychology behind that?

Comment Request

I am requesting comments on the baby bedding post. It took me forever to cross-stitch that blanket, so please say how cute it is.
Many thanks.

Even More Pictures

More Baby Pictures
















Bedding





I started the quilt when I was expecting daughter I, then put the project on hold for 8 years and finally finished it. It doesn't show up very well, but I also made a matching crib skirt and crib mattress.

Baby Girl



















Hooray! Our baby has finally arrived! She is so sweet and cute and adorable! Everything went pretty smoothly. We arrived at the hospital at 7 am and she was born at 8:20 am. She weighed 6 pounds and 8 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.
Just like a baby, she likes being held all the time.

Now we are recovering and readjusting. . . .

Bob

The second boy has been calling himself "Bob"--as in Bob-the-Builder. He calls the rest of us names like: Bob's Mom, Bob's Dad, Bob's Sister, and Bob's Brother. Bob likes to build boats and houses out of pillows.

Bob and the man went grocery shopping. That is heaven.
