Those Silly Spooks

 

 

Our sweet little Halloween party has evolved into an event of huge proportions. So much so that we have to meet at a place that is bigger than any of our houses are.  Pretty fun to see that all those little spooks from years ago, are just great big even crazier spooks nowadays–with a whole new generation of littles coming right along behind.

Ooooh, I love these people.

General Conference 2016

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.

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…

IMG_2982

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.
