Stories & Pictures

11days later...

I finally went to the doctor. A double breathing treatment, steroid injection, and two prescriptions later... I feel like drank three Starbucks in a row! Surely, this will cure me! It has to make me feel better because now Kelly has it, And I have to take care of my sweet girl. Poor thing, I know how bad she feels, really I do.

All day...

I wait for these guys to come home from school.

 

I miss them so much while they are gone.

Sure, I get lots done, and have time to myself, but it still gets lonely.

Buddy agrees.

 

Thanks for the memories!

We will miss you Sew Memorable!
We will miss the fabric, the fun, the laughter, and the one and only Jeanne.

Yesterday was the last day of business for you but many of us will not soon forget.

Thanks for the memories and significant stash that will live on in our quilts rooms across Georgia.

This is what I found...

After a week of not visiting the garden.
Time for tomato pie!

The Weekly Quilting Review...

is pretty short this week since I spent most of my time in bed with a nasty cold.

But in between naps I did manage to finish this block...

 

began work on these blocks...

 

make this little quilt for charity...

 

and I finished the applique on this quilt while sitting in carpool line at school.

 

Other than that, I've pretty much just been trying to survive.

Surely I will feel better next week.

 

 

at 4am...

I rolled over and realized...

I can BREATHE.

This nasty cold is finally on it's way OUT of this house ( and my head!)

I'll be back later with updates,

after my nap.

 

TGIF...

This 14 year old girl took the bus, and Bailey wanted to go so badly!

 
 
 
  

 

These boys like the relaxed pace of being driven to school by mom.

 

I feel like I've made a million of these, and it's only week 2!

 

I am getting lots of stitching done on this while waiting in carpool line.

 

I've also been playing with these...

 

and still, slowly stitching on this...

 

I have a few hundred more of these to put in a border...

 

And I'm feeling SO tired from our new routine,

I'm really hoping my body will adjust to this new rhythm soon.

Oh, and check out the new book on the sidebar, I'm really enjoying it!

Happy Birthday Kelly!

 
14 years ago today, you made our lives so much better than we could have even imagined!

Thanks for being the amazing, beautiful, fun, smart, horse loving, laughing, and creative girl that you are! We couldn't have asked for a better kid!

I hope your day (and year) are as special as you are Kelly!

10,000...

 

folks have taken a peek at this little blog of mine.

Wow.

That feels like a lot.

Thanks for stopping by!

TGIF...

 
 
We survived our first week (all two days) of public school since 2007.

The boys are telling us funny stories and having great adventures already.

Kelly is swinging from  I LOVE SCHOOL to I WANT TO HOMESCHOOL faster than I can blink.

It's safe to say that they are all acting perfectly normal for their age!

Kelly is texting/skyping/chatting with multiple friends and probably will all night.

The boys have a friend over and they have set up the tent to camp out back.

Bill has gone to bed to rest up for his 4 day trip that starts tomorrow.

I have actually put some stitches in a quilt (photos later!)

And now I am feeling really grateful that we all made it through this crazy week!

And I didn't even shed a tear...almost...but I didn't.
