Baby Quilt

I love it! It turned out so cute, I just wish it was bigger so I could snuggle with it. You can't see the quilt pattern but it is of a cow jumping over the moon. After taking an online course of how to make pinwheels, the quilt was super easy and fun. I had to get online instructions for the binding as well because on my the last quilt my friend Tonia did it for me. Gotta love the Internet!

Brendan gets his blue belt

Brendan earned his blue belt today. He's well on his way to earning that black belt.

After I downloaded the pictures and looked at them, I noticed the girls in the background. One is crossing her fingers with a look of suspense as she hopes Brendan breaks the board. She is still doing it in the second picture and the girl next to her has her hands clasped together in suspense. I think it is pretty cool they are that excited about Brendan breaking his boards. Go Brendan!






Who likes crab?

Richard went for a scuba dive this morning and caught himself a crab, actually the crab caught him. He found a lobster in a cave and as he reached his hand to get it, the crab grabbed his finger and wouldn't let go. The lobster got spooked away but the crab made it home and later into a hot pot of water.

Halloween 2008

Don't we look cute!
Dylan loved being a pirate but hated having a beard drawn on and cried and cried for us to take it off. We had to distract him long enough for us to have at least one picture with his beard.


Gotta love carving pumpkins and seeing everyone's cool creations. All the cousins came over to go trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.
We had so many trick-or-treaters come to our house but I love being able to sit on the porch and give out candy.
