Sisters and A Trip to the Salon

By
Last night we were watching a video we got from my in-laws for Christmas. (Adam decided yesterday morning that he just couldn't wait for Christmas, those presents were calling to him. [Maybe he'll get it out of his system tomorrow when he unwraps his b-day presents.] So, he unwrapped his present, Kate's present, Eliza's present, and the family gift [which was the video] that we got in the mail from my in-laws on Saturday.) After we were done watching the video, Jon was able to snap this picture of our oldest and youngest daughters together. Aren't they just precious like this?

Just a little story about Maryanne and her hair. Everyday I look at her hair in amazement. She has way more hair than any of our other children had at her age, and it is light brown instead of the white blond that we are used to. But, the most fascinating thing about her hair is that she already has natural highlights. Each time the nurses switched shifts, the new nurse would comment on Maryanne's hair and how it looks like we had it frosted. I wish you could see it in this picture ... it really is so adorable ... I love it!

Ahhh! I have not read your blog for far too long! CONGRATULATIONS! What a dream delivery, I am totally going to follow in your footsteps (I bet the first wasn't so easy though?). I love it when women tell nice stories of their birth, sometimes it's like we are trying to scare each other or top each other or something. Anyway, she is BEAUTIFUL and I am over the moon for you and your family!!

Okay, so am I ever late on checking your blog. I've been so bad about that lately. First off, CONGRATULATIONS on little Maryann. She's so beautiful. I cannot believe you have five kids! Secondly, the stockings turned out great. I wish they'd originated in my cranium but I'm also an idea stealer!

I love the little sibling snuggly photos. We have a couple of those too. I bet the kids are loving her.

I will have to look more closely next time at her hair. I couldn't see the highlights. That is neat though. I have never seen a baby with highlights.

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
