A Week to Remember!!!


For the past three years, the girls have sewed their own outfits during February vacation. We take a trip to Joann Fabric and the girls choose their own patterns and material. Then we have a
whole week of cutting, sewing, pinning, and frustration! Four girls plus four sewing progects in four days equal maybe forty more gray hairs on MY head. We did have some fun times this past week, and I'm sure the girls will always remember the one sewing project per year requirement and the lessons learned. I know I will! Thanks girls, for the week.













Sarah will be noticed in this apple green skirt.


















Elisabeth was the only one to sew a dress. Notice the matching bags Elisabeth and Hannah made.










Hannah looks pretty in pink!















The finished products. They look like spring. In case you are wondering where Rachel is in this picture, she was camera shy.

Big cat sighting

After arriving home from church on Sunday, we saw a big cat just a short distance from the house behind the woodshed. It looked similar to a lynx and was easily as big as a medium size dog. Kevin and the kids took pictures and measured the paw prints. The distance between the prints was about 22 inches. Big cat! Sorry. We weren't able to get a picture of the cat with my cell phone.

Pictures from Home

We've had snow and rain, then more snow and rain. The result is a messy ice. Nathanael and Kevin have been busy plowing with the tractor, and the other kids have worked hard with snow shovels.
