Grapes!

Image
By

While we were visiting my friend, Aubrey in Utah, Maryanne tried grapes for the first time.  Well, actually, it was probably the first time she's eaten them and actually went back for seconds.  I thank Aubrey's little boy, Graham, for this.  He and Maryanne are only a few weeks apart in age, and while Aubrey and I were preparing dinner, I was feeding her little boy and Maryanne little snacks of the fruit I was cutting.  Graham was chowing down on everything I gave him, and I think Maryanne saw this and decided it must be good.  So, she started to do it also!

Now, I can't keep her away from grapes!  We had them at dinner one night and left the bowl out afterward.  She overturned an empty laundry basket, climbed on and started stealing grapes out of the bowl.  Yum!  I'm so glad she has branched out and away from her usual fare.  Thanks, Aubrey & Graham!

what a cutie : )

Nathan absolutely fell in love with grapes about her age, and he still loves them!

I have a feeling Emma will follow, because she constantly eyes the big bowl of grapes, if only she has more then 1 tooth!

I'm glad Maryanne's adoration with grapes still continues! You can never be sure with these toddlers. One day they love, the next day, not so much. But grapes. . . mmmmmm, so good. :)

Isn't it funny how they will do anything at this age to get what they want. At least it's grapes that she wants instead of candy like my kids!!

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...
