5 Months Old

Andrew was 5 months old yesterday. I also discovered his first tooth is barely poking through. It is the bottom front on the right. The one right next to it is visible but not through yet. Poor little guy. He is a drooling fool.

Isn’t that the most adorable smile?

Butterfly Fabric Postcard

Look at this lovely goody I received in the mail. Isn’t it gorgeous? I just love butterflies. How lucky am I to receive this gem? Very. Many thank yous Vicki in AZ. I also have to say,”Thank you” to Brenda for hosting such a fabulous fabric postcard swap. I have made some wonderful friends through it. October will be here soon so if you would like to join us in our endeavors of fabric postcard craftiness please do. Go to Brenda’s site and say I sent ya.

Here is a picture of Andrew taking his nap. Right now. It is so peaceful all I hear is the clock ticking, the dog barking, and the keyboard clicking. LOL.

Have a blessed day and leave me a comment if you want to be enter in the fat quarter drawing. I will draw a name October the 3rd.

Josh Scored a Goal

Saturday was Joshua’s 2nd soccer game. It was rather cool and windy outside. It had rained the night before so the ground was wet too. Joshua scored the second goal for his team. It is so much fun to watch these adorable children chase a black and white ball around the feild. They don’t have the rules or techniques down yet. So they all swarm the ball at once. It is too cute.

Here is a picture of Andrew being silly. We were playing with a wet wash cloth.

Crazy Quilt, Screaming child, and Kitties Oh My.

Well I can start by saying that my glasses broke yesterday. Thankfully my prescription isn’t too bad and I can see okay. Things aren’t exactly clear. But I can get by for a few days. We got a wonderful gift from a neighbor. Mike who lives down the street stopped Tim and asked him if we would like a basketball goal. He said that his kids are all grown up and it is just sitting there. He walks his dog by our house and thought the boys might like to have it. Tim went down there are they wheeled it home. It was such a generous thing to do.

The boys were so excited. They played last night. Tim played a game with Tyler. I had to take Joshua to open house at school. By the time we got home it was dark. He was asking first thing this morning to play when he gets home.

I join a swap where 5 people send you an ugly 6 inch square. You have to make a wall hanging using almost all of each square. So I added a few more and made a crazy quilt wallhanging with them. We have to post pictures and if someone likes yours the best they send you a F8. So hopefully I will get some in the mail. If not it was fun.

Here is a picture of my sewing partner. He wasn’t happy at all that I choose to let him scream and not hold him while I got a little sewing done. He is so spoiled rotten.

When I went outside to take a picture of the basketball goal the cats greeted me. Dash always walks right in front of you trying to stop you and make you pet him.

Dot is nick named Scaredy Cat. She always runs away when you try to get close to her.

Update on Kids

Our appointment went well. Joshua is good to go. His sty is going away. Andrew’s ear is all better but he is still rattling in his chest. They did an x-ray and it was clear. So they gave him a breathing treatment and I have to do them at home. Hopefully in the next few days the rattle will be gone.

I was able to sew these blocks together  this morning while Andrew took a little nap. Nine patches seems to fly together. Too bad all quilt blocks aren’t so quick. :)

Today is the last day to leave a comment for the fat quarter I am giving away in the morning. Here is another look at it.

Andrew Rolled Over

Way to go Andrew. Last night he rolled over all the way for the first time.

Look at that drool. LOL. Too cute. Here he is giving Elmo hugs.

Fat Quarter Friday for 8/29/08- Teal Floral Fabric

Here is this weeks fat quarter. Please leave me a comment this week between today and Thursday evening at 11:59pm central time. Good luck.

Here is a picture of Andrew trying to roll over. He hasn’t made it yet but he is close. I took him to the doctor yesterday. He has an ear infection and some chest congestion. They gave him some meds and gave him a breathing treatment at the office.

Here is a picture I took this morning. I can’t believe he is already four months old.

Smiles & Giggles

Andrew was smiling so big and giggling for me this morning I just had to take a picture.

Log Cabin Candle Mat

I made this log cabin candle mat this morning for one of my aunts who just had surgery. It measures 9 x 9 inches. And the best part is that it is made from using scraps. I didn’t have to buy anything. Yeah. Now I want to make some for myself.

I received this fabric postcard the other day from a swap partner named Dorothy. Isn’t it adorable. I love it.

Here are a few pictures of Andrew that I took yesterday. He is getting so big and fast. I put this bouncer together yesterday. We got it as a baby shower gift from some o the ladies at church. He seemed to like it.
