October General Conference–easily one of my favorite events of the year.
Listening to our leaders speak…
while surrounded by my sweet family.
And fabulous food never hurts either. I was too busy eating it to take pictures.
Har de har.
Owlbert
Made this little sweetie for my baby grandson’s 1st birthday.
I had other plans, but they fell through, so this little pattern came to the rescue.
It actually whipped up surprisingly fast– about 3-1/2 hours from topknots…
to tail feathers.
My kind of project indeed.
Oh, and I printed off this pattern a while back and can’t find the origin–to give proper credit. I’ll keep looking. Sorry.
And A Few Balloons~
Pretty awesome, early morning of fruit pizza, babies, cinnamon rolls, rain drizzling, half hearted balloons inflating, and nearly all the people I love in this lovely world.
I sincerely treasure these days.
The Wanderers Return
Our sweet Dane and Kortney have been away…
in far, far off China…
for nearly a year now.
They’ve been working in the preschool in Wuhan…
teaching English to the little ones there.
This week, they returned to America–at last, at LAST! They are still back east for a while but we will see them soon. Not soon enough for me, of course, but sincerely, I’m just glad to have them back on closer soil. China is just tooooo far away for this mama’s liking.
Welcome back my darlings!
Now, come home.
Heh, heh.
Summer Roast
I have no idea why the heat of summer makes us behave like this.
We go outside and sit around in the warm evening and burn stuff. It’s weird and doesn’t really make sense.
That is…until you factor in…
this.
Yeaaaaaah.
Even the pups are hoping we accidentally drop something.
Ain’t happening poochies.
I’ve got a firm grip, baby.
Heh.
