Me at Work

I had to take pictures of everyone who works in my department (Purchasing) for a Christmas party slideshow. To take my picture I shut my door, then set the timer and took a bunch of pictures. At least that way I got a picture I was happy with, and not one that someone else took.

Stamp Camp Preview

Stamp Camp is Oct 24th or 25th.
We will be making at least 6 projects including these two cards. I love the turkey card. It is made with several different SU punches. The next card is a spiral pop up card. I made two of these so you could see both the outside and inside of the card.

Baby Lauren

Adrian came over this weekend for a couple hours to make birthday party invitations. Which meant that Lauren got to entertain her grandparents by being her cute, giggly self. She has finally started to walk and we would take turns bribing her to walk to us. She loves Jack, but appreciated her more from his perch on top of the couch.

Soccer Nana

I would like to say that I have been extremely busy, or out of the country and unable to update my blog...but the truth is I was just taking a break. I will try to do better.

I have been working on projects around the house and spending every Saturday at Joseph and Jaden's soccer games. Other than that, life has just kind of been passing me by.

Blissful Vacation

I returned home today from a wonderful family vacation to Bitely MI. I am stress free and very relaxed...to bad I have to go back to work tomorrow.
We floated in the lake (until we saw a water snake).
We canoed...
We re-visited our childhood by going to the Shrine of the Pines...
And we sat on the porch and read books.

Little Bird at my Window

This little bird lives with its family in a gourd bird house right outside my kitchen window. I am sure they have baby birds, but I am afraid to look into the small hole of the gourd. They are very vocal and sing beautiful songs for us. Travis thinks they are House Wrens....


On July 5th we took Joseph and Jaden to the Goshen Air Show. We had a good time.
