Dallas

Had a chance to take some pics of Dallas while at Em's party. He's getting teeth and chews everything but stayed good natured.

Em's third birthday

Here are some pictures of Emily's birthday party. The theme was The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and Laura did it up right having the kids make caterpillars and butterflies, and having a cake that looked like a catarpillar. Emily was delighted to have her two grandmas and three grandpas around and shared her time equally with us as well as the aunts and uncles and all her little friends from church.

What I've been up to

Since I last entered something here I have been sewing. I worked on a wall hanging with watermelon slices to hang in the living room (not finished yet); have completed 51 back of the chair pockets for school; a complete baby quilt; some more coil bowls; and a toy/game for the grandkids. I went to Des Moines with the 4th grade teachers to help them spend their budget $ at the Learning Post. I went to Lynne's and we were "knotty" together and had a fun morning.Oh, I also shortened three Iowa jerseys for a friend's family. They are special as they have SASH on the back and his number (he's from Oskaloosa).
I also picked my first tomato. It's funny shaped and not very big, but I grew it myself!
Hope you are all keeping cool enough.
