Good Times

Posted on Saturday 23 May 2009

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted anything, but all is well! The kids are getting a lot bigger and are enjoying the first days of summer.

Quotes from Ellery

“Let’s go to the McNugget House!” ~ Translation –> “Let’s go to McDonald’s!”

“I don’t like the strings of light!” ~ Translation –> “I don’t like the lightening!”

Fun. Fun.

Blanket for Rory

Posted on Tuesday 10 February 2009

I talked my aunt into working on a winter project - making a blanket for Rory.  I had seen an article in a magazine about a lady that makes blankets by cutting up baby clothes and sewing them together which I thought was a very neat thing to do.  I had some of my favorites of Rory’s kept back from the get rid of bins of clothes and I was “saving” them.  After reading the article I knew what I wanted to do with them and asked auntie if she was up to the task.  She was and it’s AWESOME!!!

The back has fuzzy teddy bear material on it and the front is the patchwork of clothes.

Great Wolf Lodge

Posted on Tuesday 10 February 2009

The family headed to the Great Wold Lodge again this year for some fun.  James, Michelle, the kids, the grandparents, Nana and the rest of us went for some winter getaway.  Of course Chad and Ellery had a blast - Rory and Bryce were not so into the water thing yet!

We told Ellery to get ready to go - this is her packed and ready to go.

Rory liked the games better than the waterpark.
