Family Bonding

Here's a picture Chase took of us tonight. Aren't we cute?!

A new dog family picture!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today we went to my parents house for Thanksgiving. It's the one time a year I go home. Here I am with my little cousin, Emersyn. She is the one I watched last year. I haven't seen her since June & she still remembered me! It was great to see her & super fun to play with her again. She is getting so big & so grown up & she finally has hair!!!!!!!

A couple of stitching finishes

My original plan was to stitch a few of these small designs from a UK magainze I bought last Christmas for my ornament tree. They're super quick & small so I figured it wouldn't be a problem. That is until I got sick! I was sick for about a week & did NO stitching. So I didn't get to far. I got this little Christmas tree done & a snowman done (that still needs to be backstitched).... so I think I'll just be using my LK Tiny Tidings that are already done for my ornament tree this year & attempt to maybe finish these for next year.

Here is my winter frog by SanMan. He still needs a couple of snowflakes but I'll get to that when I finish him.

My Snowflake

Here is my snowflake that we drove 9 hours north to get! Okay, so it wasn't JUST for this snowflake, it was to pick up the Christmas wreaths that the Cub Scouts sell. Last year was our first year making the trip, when we arrived at the shop, they were in the process of making one of these. Of course I just had to have one! It never got hung on the house last year...... so this year I made sure to make a point of nagging Tim enough to get it hung. I think he heard enough of my complaining because we got home on Saturday & the wreath was hung on the house on Sunday! It is one of a kind, nobody else in town has one! :)

Nothing New

to report in my life. I've been working at the pre-school still. I have no idea if the lady I am subbing for is returning to work or not, she is very undecided at this point. And I can't blame her one bit, it's her last baby, but yet she loves her job & jobs at the school are hard to come by. It kinda sucks for me because I'm in limbo but for now, the money is good, the hours are great, & the job is do-able.
I have been fighting a cold since Thursday this week. I've been pretty lucky, 4 weeks around all these sick kids, & this is the first "sick" I've had. I don't feel too bad, just pretty tired, & really ready to stop coughing.

Here is a picture of Molly last weekend with her Daddy. He's on Facebook & she's "helping" him. Granted her tounge is sticking out, so I'm pretty sure whatever he is looking at she does not like!!!!

Tiny Tidings XIV

I was able to get two of these done this week. I've got three more left & I'll be done with this series!

Here are the last three.... I feel like I've been working on them FOREVER! But at least I've got two years of the Tiny Tidings done. How many years left to go......

My Growing Hank

Now that I'm working at the school, I only get to see Hank on the weekends. :( And to make matters worse, he is moving to Grandview this weekend, which is about an hour away from me. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad! :(

Here are some recent pictures that I took of him when he was with me last Sunday. His new thing is to pull his pacifier out of his mouth, but he has yet to figure out how to get it back in his mouth. So I gave him one to hold on to & one to suck on. I swear he gets more & more cute as the weeks go on. Granted, I wonder if I'll change my mind once he can talk back?!
