My Little Cardinal

If you want to see something cute.... go see my grandson in his Halloween costume here.

My little Cardinal (Halloween)

I had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to dress Micah up as for Halloween. I took so long that Mum and I ended up making the costume the evening before. It's great having someone around to do all of the sewing for you especially since I still haven't figured out how to get anything done with a baby around! (My Mum is AWESOME- in case you all didn't know)

I had bookmarked Martha Stewart's Bluebird costume a few years ago and knew at some point I would want to dress a kid up in it. The directions are terrible so really all we ended up using was the pattern for the wings, the rest we did our own version of ... which we think turned out SO much cooler than the inspiration!

So here's the photo shoot we did (by we I mean mom) and of course we had to use the stump!

And my favorite!

My Sister, My Friend

It's been over two years since I've seen my sister. It's so good to know that time and distance are not relevant in our relationship. 

 She's gorgeous and kind.

 She makes me laugh like no one else. 

 We can be all kinds of special and we don't care.

 We are so much alike and so much different.

We have fun hanging out and doing nothing.

 She taught us to knit.

She can hold a baby and knit.

 She loves her Great Nephew very much.

And I think he feels the same.

Company

We have had a steady stream of company the last 6 weeks... one more reason we've been so slow to blogging. There is a lot going on behind the scenes though if we ever settle down long enough to get it up here!

My Aunt Rhonda left the morning Micah was born.

Uncle Kris came for a visit he and Micah were fast friends (there is a bit of crafting for you in this picture I whipped the shirt up for him while he was visiting... wasn't going to post about it but hey it's there and it's crafting!)
Aunt Sherie just left a few days ago we were able to steal her from her family for 8 whole days!! We didn't get into nearly enough trouble but hopefully she wont wait so long to visit again!
Ubers parents are going to be here in less then two weeks - they plan to sit around and hold Micah their whole trip so I might actually be able to steal some time to complete some crafts!
