Summer Days
I love summer. Since school has ended we have been enjoying nice days outside! Though I can't really tell you what we have been busy with, we have indeed been busy. And happy! Life is good!!

So...I thought I'd introduce to you the other members of this family...
Just when I'm on a roll in blogging world...almost a month passes between posts!
Well, this past weekend was spent in the great outdoors. We went camping with a great group of friends out at Wilderness Village, and aside from a few moments, the only time spent inside was when we were sleeping. There e is something about being outside in the fresh air, surrounded by family, good friends and the laughter of children that is refreshing to the soul. I feel rejuvenated.
I have had a busy mother's day working outside. And it has been nice. But that isn't the reason for my post. Today...my post is all about my mom.
Taylor's playschool held a mother's day tea. I was able to find someone to watch the girls for a couple hours, and devote my complete attention to Taylor. This is something I haven't been able to do for awhile. It was blissful. He pampered me. He massaged my feet and painted my toes. He did an absolutely beautiful job, and he did it with such joy and pride! He served me iced tea and ice cream. He sang me a song. I fell even more in love with my little boy at this little tea!
Well, Andrew has been gone since Friday and I've been on my own with the kids. It's been a pretty good weekend thus far...though I could use a bit of a break! We have managed to stay busy.
So, yesterday the kids and I made a trip to the university hospital. Taylor had a doctor appointment with the ear, nose and throat specialist as he will be getting his tonsils taken out in September. His tonsils are really big and affect his breathing when he sleeps...likely why he still NEEDS a nap at age five.
I've really been enjoying sewing lately. My mom bought me a sewing machine last year for my birthday and I LOVE it! I am definately a person in need of creativity, and to me sewing is a lot like scrapbooking. I love going to the quilt store, looking at all the beautiful fabrics. And I love the sense of satisfaction I get when something pretty is complete! In the past few months I have sewn four aprons, a stuffed hippo and some booties. I am working on Grace's quilt. I have a ton of projects in mind, albeit not necessarily the time to do any. Anyways, I just thought I'd share a few photos of the things that I have been working on!
