March - 2016 - Latimer Lake

I was having some technical difficulties so the Latimer Lake pictures are interspersed with the 2 month shots of Ben. 

At the end of our walk on the lake, there were these bike ramps that the kids had a hoot balancing on.  

Hay!! Stay awhile I just want to talk!! 

This is by Nadia - I think her heart is full of rainbows.

I always love Nadia's penchant for fashion.
Madilyn too!!! It's entertaining to the utmost degree.
Either it will make me laugh or give me great pleasure when she get's it "right" in my eyes.  It's all subjective isn't it?  

Mommy Had a Birthday!!

 Ben smiling at Oma (Aunt Sylvia).

Nursing AND opening birthday presents - how snappy is
that?

A quilting magazine??  Awesome!!! 

This is soooo boring Mom!!!  Why do we have to be here
again?

Ummm...maybe I can open this one??

Beautiful!!

Yes, this is more interesting!!!
So, that was my birthday...maybe next year it will be more exciting :).  

Common Threads Quilting Retreat - Yarrow 2016

I can't remember who made what . 

I love the smattering of blue through this patchwork.

This is our King sized bed quilt that I finished on time for April 18th - Will's birthday!! 

This is a rug which is made with special technique I want to learn someday. 

Thanks to the organizers for putting together another wonderful time of creating and bonding!!

Two February Birthdays - Peter and Madilyn

Madilyn is turning Three!!!

We love you Madilyn - maybe by the time you are five you will have "normal" hair???

I think you'll be hairdresser when you're older!!!
