The Girls

Happy Easter everyone.
Here are the girls in their Easter Dresses.

A snowy end to the weekend

On Thursday we went to Iowa again, this time for my niece/Goddaughters confirmation.
Isn't she beautiful !!!

I was also able to help my sister move enough of their stuff into the new house that they were able to sleep there for the first time. All weekend long they were talking about the 5-12 inches of snow that we might get on Sunday. So on Saturday I informed DH that we would head for home on Monday. It was a good decision. I can't remember the last time I saw snow blown sideways.

I did manage to get a little work in on RM.


Until next time.. Hurry up spring !!

While on a roll...

I thought I would start the next Long Dog Sampler that I want to hang with Paradigm Lost. So here is Rosemarkie.



I am stitching it with DMC 115 Varigated red and black silk on, of all things, the blackwork pieces.

I"M DONE !!!

La la la la

Spring Break in Pictures

For the first 4 days we went to my sisters, to play with cousins and see the progress on her house.

Went to Jen's funeral on Monday and played outside as much as possible while it was nice.

M playing crocuet her own way.

Helping Daddy pull down the old garden to make room for the new.

On Wednesday we went to the Topeka Zoo with Tracy and her boys. It is a small zoo but we could get much closer to the animals that way.

We also painted S's room. It started out like this

After a gallon of Kilz's it looked like this..

And Now it looks like this. We are still putting things on the walls to make it "Just the way I want it".

I also finished a page of PL. Hopefully you will be dancing with me after this week when I finally finish it.

Concert

DD#1 had a band concert last night. It was a combined school concert with over 300 children from 5,6 & 7th grade bands and the high school concert band. It was a lot of fun to listen to and watch. DD#1 however has choosen not to continue next year since the school will not allow sixth graders to be in both band and Choir. I am hoping to find away around that. If it weren't for band in college I would have never have meet DH. On a Choir note, DD#1 was choose with 9 others from her 5th grade choir to participate in a special concert for the retiring Music head of the Blue Valley school district in May. She is really excited.

Good Bye Jennifer

My friend Jennifer passed away on Saturday evening. She tried hard to live long enough to make it to her son's birthday next month but it was just not to be. Because my girls were sick I was unable to take the needlepoint stuff to her for us to work on.

I know that she is with Our Lord and no longer in pain and that it is now for us to continue on. Please keep her family, especially Charles and their children in you prayers. Goodbye Jen, we will miss you greatly.
