"Sewing" by Mommy

I haven't done much sewing in the last few years,

but my sister in law inspired me to pick it up again.

I enjoyed making this market bag.

It starts out as this little pouch ...
then you flip it over ...

then you unfold it to a full size bag (notice the reversible inside) ...

This is the back ...

and this is the front.

Next up, I'm working on two quilted duvet covers for the kids.

I'll post pictures when they are finished.

Babby Emma

One of the highlights of our recent trip was that we got to hang out with Cousin Emma! She is such a sweet, peaceful & smiley baby! She enjoyed watching the bigger kids running around (this picture is at the Please Touch Museum).

Snow Day

On our last trip we got snowed in overnight in Virginia. We were stuck in a hotel in Virginia.

The kids really enjoyed a chance to play in real snow! ;-)

Poor Benjamin was very funny when his mitten fell off

& he realized how cold snow can really be!

I love this picture.

Making a super-duper snowball to throw at Daddy!

First Hair Cut

Who is this mature little boy?

What happened to my baby?

Somehow without his curly hair gone ...
he has become a big boy!

Road Trip

People often ask us what it's like to travel so much as a family.

This is what it looks like ...

Sometimes we're bored & we play with the camera in the car.

Sometimes we play with the camera in our hotel room too!
This is what naptime looks like on the road.

As much as possible, we try to stop for lunch at a mall food court with a play area.

This gives the kids a chance to run around & gives us more lunch options too!
