we are keeping very busy being outside. depsite the recent raindrops, we've had some great weather days and have been enjoying some play and outside yardwork. we're FINALLY getting to the front door area that i can't stand. i hope to have before and after pictures eventually, but the work we're doing is minimal since i have big plans to add a big country front porch eventually.
i've been doing a bit of sewing. remember how i got into sewing just a year ago with

i haven't been able to get them down to adam's small size yet. maybe i can do a bunch of cutting and sewing to see what i come up with. he needs a pair for our vacation too!
